yeah this shit is over-performing. 1.7M off 350K preview is quite a jump. Or they simply over-estimated to get a better headline on Sunday. 

 

It's still a big bomb but 5M looks better than 3M. 

 

But it is between the normal 2021 adult movie range of $4-7M...very few broke that one...

Looking around where I am, Spider-Man and Sing are filling up pretty much everything so yeah, I can buy that increase.

 

Subscribers figured they might as well use their subscriptions for holdovers this weekend with $4 TMobile Scream tickets and no Morbius in Jan...or at least. that's what my kids pitched me for Cinemark...

Must say I'm surprised that it looks The King's Man is gonna have the best hold out of all the wide releases this weekend. Granted, it's still doing really pathetic in comparison to the previous movies in the series, but the fact The Matrix has beaten it for the "look how far the mighty have fallen" prize makes its performance look slightly less embarrassing than it would be otherwise.

Great hold for Licorice Pizza if Deadline is right. Near 1.1m 3day and 286k Friday. Down just 18%.

Strong OD for The 355 actually. I put just 3M in the Derby so I am fucked.

[Legion Again]

Derby-Ed 3.15 for KM, weekdays were strong. Matrix also working out well for me, not so much Sing.

[BestPicturePlutoNash]

355 honestly did more than I expected lol 

[Legion Again]

355 was destined for 3.55, so it’s clearly overperforming here

Previous Matrix movies had a much higher threshold for success than Kingsman movies, too. I’m 2003, Matrix:Reloaded would have had the opening weekend record had it not been for a Thursday release. Revolutions of course did significantly less 6 months later.

I think it gets to at least $15m today, but it's really early.  

It seems huge, I think tomorrow you lower your predictions to 13M-$14M. No matter $30M seems more and more likely

355k admit dream alive and well

Gucci passing 50m when a Spielberg directed WSS is struggling to hit 40m is pretty crazy. Go Gaga.

People are surprised WSS is Spielberg 

. even if it’s a good movie it would have flopped. It has . Spielberg needs to go to his roots before he gets too damn old and make a sci-fi fantasy . That’s one way to get $ . He is too off his strong game for too long 

[filmlover]

I'm pretty sure in normal times House of Gucci would've easily made $100M+. When I saw it opening weekend at least 90% of the audience was over 60.

LP's 20-25% decline is a solid hold since there is no expansion this week.
