Eric Duncan Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 https://deadline.com/2022/01/scream-spider-man-weekend-box-office-mlk-1234912797/ Quote Paramount-Spyglass Media’s Scream made $3.5M from Thursday night previews that began at 7PM at roughly 3,000 theaters. That’s a healthy take for a horror movie during the pandemic, pacing behind Halloween Kills and A Quiet Place II‘s Thursday nights which were $4.8M each and not too far behind pre-pandemic MLK weekend thriller Glass which did $3.7M. Glass saw a 3-day of $40M, but don’t go comping Scream to that M. Night Shyamalan title yet given the erratic moviegoer attendance during the pandemic. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) I’m happy with $3.5m. I know the tracking thread mostly indicated more than that, but I’m good with $3.5m. It points to an opening in the 30’s, instead of the high teens like Scream 4. Following the multipliers of all of last years’ horror films gives it a range of $25.6m-$40.5m for the 3 day. Hopefully it can get into the 30’s, that’s great. Edited January 14, 2022 by Krissykins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Give me 30M+ or give me death (by stabbing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasNicole Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I was hoping for more but it's good anyway. Presales seems good for the whole weekend, and i don't see reason for this to be more frontloaded than Halloween Kills / AQP2 etc. Hoping for 33-35M 3-day and +40M for the 4-day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianL Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I think anything over $20m for the 3-day is great considering everything so if this does $30m that'd be really excellent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valonqar Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Horror proves its pandemic consistency. Very strong preview, fingers crossed for over 30M OW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpireCity Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 What I anecdotally have seen is that Thursday preview sales were somewhat weak, but Friday/Saturday shows are nearly sold out and theaters are rushing to add more. The 355 is going to see its late shows suddenly disappear. 5 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry713 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I just really want it to become the highest grossing Scream film in the franchise. 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Very good start. Given that the rest of January is gonna be a total wasteland, maybe the legs will be better than normal for the genre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excel1 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Legs should be good. Movie is a true horror crowd pleaser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 So sad I can’t make it this weekend. My friend who really wants to see it got COVID and needs to hole up until next Wednesday. So won’t be helping out opening weekend, but definitely going to help out decrease that second weekend drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
