I think TENET Canada should be around $3.5-4mn. Its not reported, just a guess from @DAJK's number.

Yes, Canada usually represents 8-10% of US box office, if I’m not mistaken?

Is this 3-day, or the 5-day opening?

Generally, yes. However, given Unhinged’s performance the past few week (small sample size, yes, but could be very telling) Canada may be carrying a greater percentage of the domestic box office than usual, given the (current) difference in how COVID is manifesting in the two countries. Could be as high as 15% share

5.

[Krissykins]

David Copperfield might as well give all of it’s screens up to Bill & Ted.

 

edit, whoops, just a $1k PTA for Bill & Ted is maybe a sign that same-day cinema + home releases won’t work for everything. Unless no one was going to go and see this anyway.

Great start in the UK for it. Of course it will collapse next week, when The New Mutants expands... 😶

 

 

[poweranimals]

Shouldn't the 3 day weekend numbers be available by now?

How the hell did Spongebob increase lol without adding any new theatres? Tenet spillover? Or people more inclined to actually go to movies now that there are major releases like Tenet?

Box Office Mojo's number might be inaccurate. The-Numbers and Exhibitor Relations are reporting $400k for it this weekend, a -27% drop-off.

so it seems like the pandemic will have no long term effects on the theatrical/VOD windows as some were expecting earlier in the year.

 

Unhinged is dated for Nov 17 digital release which would be about 3 months after its north american theatrical release. I imagine Tenet will be in Dec/Jan as Nolan movies sometimes take longer to go to digital (Dunkirk took 5 months iirc)

 

 

 

there is the AMC/Universal 17-day deal thing but that's probably just for box office bombs so it doesn't matter.

 

also I am now convinced that the theater experience will never die out. if a once in a century pandemic couldn't do anything to change it. then nothing else would.

I know New Mutants had a lot working against it but I thought it would do better than that. Especially since there's essentially nothing else out here at the moment. 

 

The numbers for Tenet seem reasonable so far.

$50m international is really good for Tenet. Was fully expecting it to bomb hard, and it would put off every other studio from releasing anything this year. But that seems like a good start, and should be going well for quite a while with no competition.

 

Reckon if it hits $400M that will be enough confidence for studios to release other major movies. (Although, not sure how many are left in the 2020 schedule atm)

@Eric #RIPChadwick since we will have sneaks throughout weekdays, can you start TENET weekend thread or you will wait till Thursday.

Barring any chance WB announces sneak preview numbers before then, Thursday morning.
