Only 2 wide openers, right? Last year heard dispatch was 50 locs

Yep, The French Dispatch is in 50 theaters next weekend and going fairly wide the following week.

 

Meanwhile, Neon will be opening Spencer in 1,500+ theaters on November 5 and Focus will debut Belfast in 500+ theaters the week after that. The 4 theater NY/LA platform release is dead as long as the specialty market still isn't coming back to theaters in large numbers, it seems.

Expected after the OW. Wed and Th were misleading but it’s just a very olds heavy movie so fri bumps will be low and weekdays relatively strong.

Interesting. So this means only one wide release on the November 12 weekend: Clifford (opening Wednesday the 10th). I'm surprised one of the many October releases didn't get moved there for breathing room.

 

Eternals is going to feast in November.

Bond 2nd weekend drops

 

No Time to Die -56%

Spectre -52.2%

Skyfall -53.5%

Quantum of Solace -60.4%

Casino Royale -24.6% (Thanksgiving weekend so an obvious outlier)

Die Another Day -34.1% (same as above)

 

More or less in line with the others. Not as bad as the dreadful Quantum of Solace, which makes sense.

The Last Duel performing like Cry Macho, despite being theatrical only. Yikes.

Fantastic opening for Halloween Kills. 
 

Best horror opening since It Chapter 2. Budget is $20m.

Halloween Kill below previous film (~$79M)

[Issac Newton]

Venom 2 estimated total is at $168M. Will it still miss Black Widow?

But why is Hollywood only making remakes, reboots, and CBMs?

[Issac Newton]

Just now, john2000 said:

nah

Then, sure to pass $190M or $200M+ final.

[Legion Again]

SC Sat is -15%, that’s definitely a PSA increase
