Krissykins Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Oh that’s actually great for the older skewing films, Candyman only -16%. I was expecting a similar drop to Ready or Not (39%). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Keyser's update I would guess the lower end. Not sure though since there was a huge MTC2/MTC1 split. I don't get why they won't just report the number. Even 4.8 would be perfectly ok.

Even 4.8 would be perfectly ok. 4,8 would be 28% or so very very good.....we also dont know about free guy or jungle cruise.... of course even yesterday there was a difference of 2-3 hours from when candyman weekday was published and when shangs did Edited September 9, 2021 by john2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 There was a day last week, may have been for Wednesdays number as well that Disney's didnt come in until like after 8pm cst. It was ridiculously late, but since there wasnt anything big to track nobody really paid attention. It is weird though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exomassey Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 So is deadline guessing or do you think Deadline have actually seen numbers? 4.8 or higher would be impressive. I won’t get my hopes up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how they often report a daily right before Disney officially reports it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildphantom Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 The Halloween decision is crazy. Who would sign up for Peacock to watch a Halloween movie? It’s a sequel to a huge horror hit. You know, the one genre that’s been doing consistently well in theaters during the pandemic. We were about to have a huge IP horror sequel arrive, and they screw it over by thinking it’ll help them get subscribers? Lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the directors were correct to not allow it and box office is good for both. So why dont they learn from previous mistakes and keep the same fixed strategy when clearly horror sequels (even with mediocre reviews) have been performing above expectation and showing decent legs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universal? Wants to establish Peacock (Premium), presumably. Creators? Well in the case of Halloween Kills, I don't like to speculate, but getting all da money upfront is always an incentive. And if it keeps them in Universal's good graces when it comes to Halloween's End? Well, there's a calculation to be made here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
