MLK 2021 Weekend Thread | Scream 3.5 Previews

Recommended Posts

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).

$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-.

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.

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.

For whatever reason - older/nostalgia appeal, pandemic effect - Scream just isn’t bringing in the later night, younger audience. That’s why we keep seeing higher estimates that trend downwards as the night wears on

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.

Well that took a bit of a nosedive. Definitely won’t do 10x previews. 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.

LesS than 40m 4 day and l maybe 70m domestic if lucky. Considering 90s nostalgia and horror being big now this is meh 

You can't be serious. Budget is 24M and with Pandemic still around, this is a solid result for Scream 5.
