Peacock was a terrible idea for Halloween, Piracy is killing its second weekend.

Dune has to drop 38% to fall below 40m, it is not a too much to ask type of Sunday hold even with HBO max, so I guess overall Dune passes the good run threshold, even by my high demanding non-conformist ask.

“I’m smiling,” Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution Jeff Goldstein said on Sunday morning. “Exhibitors are thrilled. The best part is, fans are loving what they’re seeing. They’re loving the big-screen experience. It’s been a winner of a weekend for movie-lovers.”

Judging by that PTA, French Dispatch has the most "normal" limited opening since pandemic began. Almost feel like it is impossible to ask for indie film to hit that big punch at limited scale in this era

That French Dispatch PTA is a record for the year, right? This means I have more bragging rights when it comes to my beloved, right?

Biggest PTA for any movie since 1917's limited launch, actually.

 

Edit: actually Emma. had a bigger PTA in 5 theaters right before the COVID chaos so that.

That $2.4m UK “debut” number also includes full wide release totals from Saturday and Sunday last weekend too lol. 
 

 

 

9 films over $1m in the US, first time since who knows when?

I just updated that it was really Queen Anya with the last biggest PTA (bodes well for Soho next week! or not) but the record still stands regardless. Happy Challoween!

Here's hoping Ron drops under 40% next weekend so it can salvage something...maybe some deserved good WOM will help since it did turn catastrophic presales into a still awful, but better than expected, DOM OW...

With Dune opening at $40m, what are our expectations for The Matrix Resurrections?

At this rate, a good weekend for Resurrections would be close to what Revolutions made in its debut.

[Pinacolada]

No Time To Die and Venom 2 need to start having sub-40% drops week to week
