Wait. What? Weren't people just saying it's doing well a couple hours ago?

We are joking, don't worry. There are no new numbers.

Interesting there’s hype building in the states for NTTD from what you guys are suggesting. 

I had no doubt it would be as big as it’s currently showing over in the U.K., but wouldn’t have pegged it doing much more than $50 million OW in the US. 

Purely down to the question mark of the older demograph coming out for it, like they have the last few.  Then again, they are coming out over here so maybe they’ve just been waiting for the right movie.

The book was pretty impossible to fuck up though

Obviously. With such poor walkups as Venom has had, it's clearly going to be much more frontloaded than Black Widow. Even 60 million will be tough. 

60 million total might even be tough.

So it's almost 5 on the East Coast and we have a potential 90M+ opener, but Deadline just...doesn't want to update the numbers? Do they not want clicks on their website? This is garbage!

90 what? Bwahahahah it is because of silly expectations like yours that now when this opens with 80M I can call it a RIDICULOUS FLOP

[Plain Old Tele]

It’s 2:18 on the west coast. 🤔

Venom: Let There Be No Numbers

Ok but no Deadline update is better than whatever the hell they tried with SC.

Well now we don't have anything to talk about since we already discussed and argued over Bond predictions.

Friday Afternoon Update: The opening day of Sony’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage will definitely be one for the record books. After seeing a bulk of walk-up business last night as well as strong advance ticket sales, the pic is looking at a Friday definitely in the high $20Ms on its way to $30M. This includes last night’s $11.6M previews, which saw a strong turnout from Latino and Hispanic moviegoers at 25% and PLF and Imax ticket sales repping 32% of Thursday’s business. This all speaks to those who are returning to cinemas for big event pics during the pandemic are splurging. This should easily put Venom 2 in the mid-to-high $60M range for the weekend. I will say that rival studios have it higher. Any conservative projections here stem from the unpredictable nature of Saturday night business during the pandemic and how front-loaded Venom 2 might be. Obviously, the hot word of mouth from Monday’s fan screening at Universal Citywalk is spreading: California repped 24% of last night’s ticket sales for the Tom Hardy produced, story by and starring Marvel sequel. Sony is really respecting the theatrical window here with Venom 2: I hear the movie is on a window that far exceeds 45 days. Rotten Tomatoes is up to 60% fresh now.

 

MGM/UAR/Bron Creative’s The Addams Family 2 will take the No. 2 spot with a $4.5M Friday (including last night’s previews) and weekend that’s at $14M-$16M booked at 4,207 theaters in the No. 2 spot. As we told, the movie is available in homes for $19.99 as a 48-hour PVOD rental. Rotten Tomatoes is at 22%, but it’s a kids’ movie, and they don’t care about critics.

 

Warner Bros.’ The Sopranos prequel The Many Saints of Newark at 3,181 theaters is seeing between $2.5M-$3M on its way to third with $7M. Many theaters aren’t starting showtimes until 3pm. The pic, a spinoff of the award-winning HBO series, is also available on HBO Max. Among the wide releases, the pic has the best reviews at 76% fresh on RT.

 

Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings at 3,455 theaters is seeing a fifth Friday of $1.7M, -52%, and a weekend of $6.5M, -50%, for a running total by EOD Sunday of $206.5M. It’s the only major studio movie at the domestic box office to reach that level, but there’s more competition yet to come this month.

 

Universal’s Dear Evan Hansen will take 5th place at 3,364 theaters with $750K today, -77% from last Friday, and a second weekend of $2.4M, -68%, for a ten-day of $11.7M.

 

All together with everything, many are figuring another $100M+ weekend during the pandemic. Exhibitors, studios, moviegoers, popcorn manufacturers — everybody wins.

Well, we have something to talk about. There's also numbers from the holdovers, Addams, and Newark to chew on.

I chewing on hard on that 70% drop for DEH. Should have just release it as a Peacock Original.

Given the quality of the V2 number I dunno that it would be very wise to chew on the others though 😛
