the film felt more like Us rather than Get Out in tone. though not as good but it's very close imo

I thought it was better than Us (which I really liked too). Definitely more action oriented than just horror like Us though.

I agree with the action bit. 

 

Spoiler

it had some cool camera work & transitions in the police station at the end. I should probably see Upgrade 2018 now if it's anywhere as good as this.

The hospital stuff in this was amazing and I think Upgrade is pretty good too (not as good as this movie). Upgrade has some amazing action and the body horror stuff is a nice touch.

 

Also, I doubt this movie is just 7 mil budget. It's probably more. There's quite a bit in here that can't be done with a 7 mil budget.

I'm not sure about the budget needing to be higher tbh, 7 million sounds enough for moderate to minimal special & VFX work (especially if they got a lot of time in post, they could make it work under a tight budget). Ready or Not cost 6 million.  both of those movies also had no expensive actors.

Huge Overindexing at MTC. So more than 55% of gross from just 2 MTC. I guess it underperformed big time at MTC3/4 and smaller chains. Normally Friday/Saturday does under index at these chains and hopefully it has good OD/OW. 

 

Morning PS was at 

MTC1 - overall 2845 shows 33820/575580 529906.62 440411.45 post 6PM 1581 shows 25620/319160 411849.58 337187.88

MTC2 - overall 2665 shows 19993/466209 228824.33 176471.37 post 6PM 1353 shows 13912/233577 174700.57 125732.49

 

I am thinking 6-7m true friday than 8m from yesterday. Let us hope walk ups are much better and this number goes up.

2nd Update, Friday Midday: The Invisible Man is on his way to a $9.1M first day, including last night’s $1.65M, for a 3-day between $23M-$25M at 3,610 theaters. I’ve heard from various exhibitors that advance ticket sales are ahead of Universal/Blumhouse’s Ma which posted at first day of $7.2M and opening of $18.1M last June. At this range, it’s a very good start for the $7M production.  Get Out posted a first day of $10.8M, which included $1.8M previews, on its way to a $33.3M start.

 

Paramount’s 3rd weekend of Sonic the Hedgehog is taking 2nd with an estimated $13.85M at 4,177, -47%, and running total by Sunday of $126.1M

 

Disney/20th Century Studios’ Call of the Wild in its second weekend is seeing $12.875M at 3,865, -48%,. That puts its 10-day at $45.5M.

I just listened (quite late) on the THR roundtable and Universal studio head did talk about their complete reverse strategy for those Monster universe title and it did seem to be a good one they found.

 

Superb start for them.

Bought into some index funds today, felt like the right time to jump into the market

 

May buy some more next week if things keep going the way they are!

A $9.1m OD would translate more to $26m-$28m than to $23m, tbh.

Just to add a little more from DL that I didn't get to earlier

In 4th is Sony Pictures TV/Funimation’s My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising which is looking at $5M-$6M at 1,260 after a $2M-$2.2M Friday. 10-day could hit $9.3M on the high end.

 

 

Warner Bros.’ Birds of Prey could file 5th with $3.9M at 3,124, -43% for a running total in weekend 4 of $77.7M. Sony’s Bad Boys for Life is now in 6th in weekend 7 with $3.6M at 2,708, -38% for a running total of $196.6M.

 

STX’s Brahms: The Boy 2 is looking at $2.6M in weekend 2 in 7th place, -55%, for a 10-day of $9.7M.

 

WarnerMedia’s TruTV’s Impractical Jokers which expanded from 357 theaters to 1,820 is seeing $725K today, -24%, for a 3-day of $2.2M, -16%, and a 10-day of $5.3M.

I loved it!  Leigh Whanell is on fire right now with this and Upgrade.  A really well done film in pretty much every way!

[Curtis1986]

Disappointed with that opening tbh. 23 million is decent. I guess will half tonwait for Jordan Peele to save us with Candyman.

It isn't doing only $23m. And AQP Part 2 is going to be huge.

I wonder if Leigh Whannell will get to direct a big budget film after this. I wouldn't be surprised if he's already has been offered.
