filmlover Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Mentioned this before but the fact the holdovers are gonna be pretty much stuck where they are for a while due to nothing much replacing them (both of next weekend's openers are movies literally no one has heard of, for instance) is gonna be really beneficial to them having insane holds in the weeks ahead, especially when it's looking like it'll be another month until a movie that attracts audiences on a notable scale (although I suppose Jackass should do fine since it's aimed at the young male audience that's been the only demo to consistently show up at theaters throughout the pandemic era). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpireCity Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 On the advice of council, let's lower expectations to $14m. Who knows. 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasNicole Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Well let's hope it doesn't come lower than 14 or 40M 4-day will be in danger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) $14m is solid, considering the circumstances. It secures $30m+ for the 3 day and Scream 4 made $38m in total. I’m also happy with that Cinemascore, considering Scream 3 got a B and Scream 4 a B-. Edited January 15, 2022 by Krissykins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper Legion Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Overall weekend rank (manually excluding sniper nonsense): Wknd1 2nd Wknd2 9th Wknd3 6th Wknd4 5th Wknd5 Looks like 5th or 6th Wknd6 maybe 15th ish? (Using 13M est) MCU wknd rank: Wknd1 2nd Wknd2 5th Wknd3 4th Wknd4 3rd Wknd5 Looks like good chance of 2nd Wknd6 very likely 2nd Curious if it can take any 1sts. BP is a formidable foe indeed.

Spidey with all its holiday glory and lack of competition is looking at best 510M post OW. BP's 498M is looking truly incredible in context. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainbug Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 14M Friday would be very solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napoleon Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 9 hours ago, grim22 said: Rights issues. The Craven estate has the movie rights and domestic rights which come with it, but New Line has international rights. Easy way to get out of the jam is for the Craven estate to make a deal with New Line, but we don't know if that will happen or not. The rights issues here are not as complex as Friday the 13th thankfully. There, the writer of the original movie owns the rights to the movie, but the issue there is that Jason as we know him with the hockey mask is not a major character in that movie, so to use Jason he will need a deal with New Line who own the other movies and the international distribution. To add to the craziness, Paramount owns the title Friday the 13th, so they can't make a movie with that title without Paramount agreeing. New Line should just make a reboot called Jason Returns or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why we keep seeing higher estimates that trend downwards as the night wears on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendaryBen Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) To those expecting that it would trend higher than Halloween Kills and open better than Scream 3 unadjusted for inflation: Please stop complaining about the Scream 5 number. With COVID still raging and coming off 4 that flopped 11 years ago, this is still a solid number. It only costed $24m compared to the last two which had budgets in the $40m range.

Maybe not even 9x which is unusual for horror. It is certainly fan-frontloaded. Only Escape Room 2 did under 9x last year (it did 7.3x). A Quiet Place 2 and Forever Purge were the only others to do under 10x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadOlCatSylvester Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Scream 4 redux incoming? I have a sinking feeling it's going sub-30 for the 3-day weekend. Would be a very disappointing result for a B+ CinemaScore which is basically A+ for horror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 LesS than 40m 4 day and l maybe 70m domestic if lucky. Considering 90s nostalgia and horror being big now this is meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyxx Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Why did Scream 4 gross so little? I saw it on opening weekend and thought it was fine. IIRC there were meltdowns on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
