Weekend Thread: Free Guy 18.79M (34% drop!) | PAW Patrol 13M, Jungle Cruise 6.2M | Protégé 2.9M, Night House 2.87M, Legendary Flop Reminiscence 2M (Worst opening for a movie in 3K theaters!)

Double.

 

Anyhow $4.5M is strong start for Paw Patrol. Though I wonder if it include those screenings that were held few days back.

A Quiet Place 2 should pass $160m on Sunday.

Omg, FG can have less than 40% 2nd week drop 

[Krissykins]

Glad Free Guy is blocking Paw Patrol for #1. Hopefully it moves out of the way for Candyman though lol

[Krissykins]

Wonder if Reminiscence and The Protege will come in even lower than this. 

[Krissykins]

Black Widow and Old only up 50% and 33% over Thursday. Theatre losses impacting them.

Love thag its something as random as Free Guy that is behaving "abnormal" to the rest of the summer.... WOM is king.... a repeat of 2017 with Hitmans Bodyguard? 

[john2000]

that should be enough to make executives be at ease in regards to the fall slate....for now no i dont see any delta effect yet...

[ThomasNicole]

Free Guy can pull over 18M depending on saturday number, way under 40% drop. Yeah this is so crossing 100M.

 

JC also can make easily +6M, just 30% drop.

 

Disney is doing pretty good this year, despite all the drama surrounding PA.

Free-er Guy confirmed.

 

Barring some big franchise rush last night for Paw Patrol, no reason it doesn't jump to 6m+ today and hit 15 this weekend.

JC and Cruella did very well even with Pa. 

[Cmasterclay]

Awareness for Candyman coming back out is really low - they need to use good reviews to give it a hype boost because it just hasn't had time to restart the marketing. Sales are okay near here but I know a ton of people hyped when the trailer dropped who have no clue the movie is coming now.

[HouseOfTheSun]

Free Guy might win next weekend too

It's selling on pace with Old at the theater I track, but every sale is for Dolby so far (just like Old this far out). It'll be more susceptible to franchise frontloading and possibly mixed WOM given how late the embargo drops, so 13-14M is my expectation right now.

[filmlover]

Free Guy is benefitting from both really good WOM and a completely open marketplace. Given how empty September will be for the most part, I can see it sticking around for a while.

Yeah not gonna lie I haven't heard anyone in the real world talk about Candyman. We'll see over the next week if it gains traction or if it's destined to be another Doctor Sleep.
