I think these are numbers UNI projected for FRI and WKND and not something I, RTH or Deadline or EC would be posting.

 

@Shawn may confirm this I guess.

Candyman bad and not like sexy bad

[Madhuvan]

B cinemascore is great for a movie like this. Wow

Good for Nia. 

[Krissykins]

Yeh I think things were a bit over the top at first in the Candyman thread yesterday lol.
 

A “B” Cinemascore is absolutely fine for a horror film. I guessed, because the ending was so satisfying, that it wouldn’t be in the C’s.

Looks like $8.2m+ for Friday (including Thursday previews), so that $8.4m number is going to end up pretty accurate.

Thanks, so around 18-19M OW, nice.

 

Any idea on Free Guy?

[EmpireCity]

I think it has enough WOM to get over $20m possibly.

WoW. MTC 1 & 2 being 52%. Doesn't make any sense.

Just realized Shang-Chi will probably be the first 3 #1s in a row since regal reopening.

I just saw The Ring for the first time (I've seen parts as a kid but was too scared to finish it, and just never bothered since then) and has there really never been a mainstream horror film as good since then?

The Descent? Not a major studio movie but still an accessible wide release.

I second this. The Descent is the best ever. Huge fan of The Ring too but The Descent genuinely scared me because I'm claustrophobic. 

[Krissykins]

I love The Descent and The Ring is one of the best remakes of all time IMO.

1. Subscriber draw with little GA draw OR

2. Non-major theaters are now not open or open in a limited way on Friday

 

OR both...OR neither:)...

I interpreted "mainstream" as in the major studios, but that's a semantic debate.

[EmpireCity]

$3.45m

$1.7m

Is it like 9.5 or just above 9. From MTC tracking I thought $9.4M atleast.
