Very good jump for Encanto considering it had such a small Thur drop ($6m -> $5.8m) .  An 83% jump from pure Wed compared to Coco's 74%.  Of course dealing with far smaller numbers but might speak to future legs.

I tried to tell ya'll about Ghostbusters: Afterlife since August.  Flat out leggy general audience hit.  

 

Noooo, everyone loved Answer the Call and was mad it was being ignored don’t you see?

Very mediocre Friday jump yet still far above what everything else adult has done this pandemic, so good in that regard.

It was very similar to Knives Out jump, +69% for Gucci, +73% for KO. But lower than +80% for Creed, +82% for Queen & Slim and +112% for Allied.

[Krissykins]

Solid jump for House of Gucci, well on target for its $20m 5 day. 
 

Encanto meeting it’s high end of tracking too, with $40m. 

[Krissykins]

Resident Evil with the biggest Friday jump of the top 5. But only for $2m. I’m guessing the 5 day will be around $8.5m. 
 

Low for a theatrical exclusive horror this year.

Licorice Pizza is looking at an $80-90K average for the weekend. Not overly surprising (PTA has a strong following among the specialty audience) and who knows how it'll do in expansion, but this is definitely a sign of hope for the arthouse market. Too bad Nightmare Alley is going wide right off the bat cause it's the only other movie coming up that would be likely to challenge those numbers had it been given the platform treatment.

It's pretty good considering it's only on one screen at every theater it's at. (It's only playing in 70mm)

This is only the third weekend of 2021 when we’ve had three wide-release theatrical exclusive films open.

 

August 13th: Free Guy, Respect, Don’t Breathe 2

 

October 29th: Soho, Antlers, My Hero

[Paul Verhoeven]

MGM/UAR’s House of Gucci, the other wide entry of the holiday, made $5.7M yesterday, +69% from Thanksgiving, which now puts its 3-day at $14.9M and 5-day at $22.5M. The film has great exits at four stars on Screen Engine/Comscore’sPostTrak, an 82% positive score and 60% definite recommend. Females turned out at 60% giving the film an 84% positive, with men at 40% with 80%. Close to 40% of the audience said they came out for Lady Gaga, while 32% cited the ensemble cast overall of Adam Driver, Al Pacino and Jared Leto while 34% were intrigue by the Gucci family murder plot.

MGM/UAR’s House of Gucci, the other wide entry of the holiday, made $5.7M yesterday, +69% from Thanksgiving, which now puts its 3-day at $14.9M and 5-day at $22.5M. The film has great exits at four stars on Screen Engine/Comscore’sPostTrak, an 82% positive score and 60% definite recommend, providing plenty of runway into the year-end holiday. Females turned out at 60% giving the film an 84% positive, with men at 40% with 80%. Close to 40% of the audience said they came out for Lady Gaga, while 32% cited the ensemble cast overall of Adam Driver, Al Pacino and Jared Leto while 34% were intrigue by the Gucci family murder plot. But until then, House of Gucci is looking at a $20M+ 5-day and that’s a victory worth celebrating as 31% of its audience was over 45 and came out; the best result we’ve seen for an older audience film in the pandemic, which is very encouraging for this hesitant audience.

So what is Gucci looking at for a total. 45 million total on a 75 million budget?

And if it was a $42M 5 day and not a $22M one, we could really cheer...at least the nice silver lining is the ratios are better, but the sheer volume isn't...

 

PS - Bond was better both by percent and overall revenue, but it's hard to remember an article that Deadline itself wrote 1 month ago - "Comscore/Screen Engine shows that 37% of No Time to Die‘s ticket-buyers were over 45, proportionally a higher share than Spectre‘s 29%." https://deadline.com/2021/10/no-time-to-die-weekend-box-office-1234852700/  Unless they are really saying that Gaga's film was intended to draw an older audience than retiring Bond:)...

Licorice Pizza demos...when did they start pulling college grad info?  https://deadline.com/2021/11/encanto-house-of-gucci-resident-evil-thanksgiving-box-office-1234880192/

 

"Licorice Pizza which is easily shattering the weekend screen average (as opposed to theater average) with the best screen average of the past two years for a specialty film at $84,1K off four screens of the film at LA’s Regency Village, and NYC’s Lincoln Square, Village East and Alamo Brooklyn. That’s a $336K 3-day. The latest from Anderson also charted big numbers because each theater is playing one screen in 70MM. Exits are very good here at 87% positive and 73% definite recommend with a 90% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Close to 70% of the audience were college grads with a diversity make-up of 68% Caucasian, 17% Latino or Hispanic, 11% Asian/other and 4% Black."

Yes probably. But atleast it’s on track to be the highest grossing adult drama of the year. Unless West Side Story suprises.

I really don’t think Gucci and Bond would have had similar audiences. Gaga appeals to a demo that has been very reluctant to return - females 25+

Any progress on the reopening of Arclight cinema? I hope those venue can come back as soon as possible for more solid gross as platform release.

Yes but was having that title worth it when you add up all of the things Gucci has against it.

I wonder if all the news over the past few days about the new Decepticon virus deflated this some more

 

in normal times, I think this would've been an American Gangster type hit
