We are not in normal times. It would easily have cleared 300m DOM 

That's what i'm saying. Seeing the reaction to Shang Chi, 300M would have not been hard to do in normal times. We are not close to normal yet. maybe next year

FRI $9.7M

SAT $15.4M

SUN $10.6M

 

Is that right?

15.3 & 10.7

 

I think Disney could have lowballed Sunday a bit at 10M and give a round 35M.

It's a little sad that only Marvel is doing great numbers this pandemic. Hopefully Bond manages to get in Top 5 this year

Any love for fast9,a quite place,conjuring 3 ? no ? ok

Deadline reaction to Halloween Kills on Peacock is killing me.

 

"Seriously, what the hell is going on? Does the town think we’re going to sit on our couches and watch our cell phones for eternity? The big screen is the curation of great product, don’t ya get that? How should we sift through a sea of titles on streaming menus if we don’t know what’s great yet?"

 

Their meltdowns are hilarious

They will be the last ones standing screaming at the void by the time all is lost.

That would be crazy for Disney to predict to good Sunday. I think other 2 days might be high. Let's wait for breakdown.

These did pretty good numbers, you're right

BW is getting smoked by SC and it isn't just because of PA. Reaction to SC is much better which explains great holds dom and OS. BW would have cratered without PA except that OW would have been bigger.  SC still holds 8.0 on IMDB, while BW is at 6.8. Even if SC goes down with more votes it won't drop below 7.5. But overall wherever you turn reactions are much better for SC.

I need 35M or over for SC to finally win some prediction. I've been doing pretty well lately, coming close, no overestimation, but I need undisputed win that stays with actuals.

 

That's a pretty bad PTA for Card Counter. It's only $300 higher than Malignant which plays in 3,400+ theaters vs Card Counter's 580. PTA for limited releases should be much higher than for wide ones.

 

Malignant is a bomb of the month. It must be really that bad that even proven horror name (James Wan) couldn't put butts in seats. 

 

Au Contraire, is a great movie. Divisive yes (as it should considering it's plot), but nobody saw it and was indifferent to it, that's why it's trending since Friday.

 

The bomb is all WB, it happens when a studio not only put a new movie for free at their streaming but also do a despicable marketing campaign to it.

 

I'm curious how many remaining bombs this WB approach will give to us, Cry Macho is the next, 5 days until release and absolutely no promo.

Over 300M locked, Ryan truly won.

Shang-Chi having a pre-pandemic level sophomore outing and the underdog Free Guy somehow reaching the century mark results in a very happy mouse.

[exomassey]

10.7 Sunday for SC? 30% drop. I know some were thinking 35%.

 

Possible that’s a bit high?

Dune and King Richard won't bomb. Matrix 4 likely won't bomb either Spidey or not. Everything between
