Maggie Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Par have a pretty good line up this year. The Lost City looks to be fun and perform fairly good. Then Sonic, which i think it will do good business. Then Top Gun 2 which is a question mark and their biggest risk Edited January 15, 2022 by Maggie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianL Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 To be disappointed in a 30m+ weekend of a horror movie that will ultimately more than double its budget at a time when we're at the worst in terms of cases of the pandemic... lol bye This is a fantastic result. I think if they went the simultaneous route with Paramount plus it may have opened similar to 4 so thankfully they didn't do that! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarkmachine Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) This thread is a good example of why studios lowball their predictions so much. After people started speculating that 50m/4-day was on the table, a perfectly good opening now looks underwhelming in response Edited January 15, 2022 by snarkmachine 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianL Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Licorice Pizza getting past $10m without going over 1000 theaters seems pretty solid. Will probably go wide after Oscar noms, would suck if it doesn't get nominated for Picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXRDJisDoctorDoom Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 So NWH will have $703-705M through Monday. The 4-Day MLK weekend will be at least 76% of TFA's 4-Day MLK and maybe as much as 82%. TFA did an additional $77.7M after that. It looks like $750M is safe at this point with $770M still on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always though yet another Scream was pointless since it has the exact same premise as 4 which tanked. No real novelty here but I bought into the presales. It's basically a who cares because it'll be forgotten by like Feb. Not only was it one of the best reviewed films but Licorice Pizza is one of the only successful adult releases of the last year and continues to chug along every weekend with a consistently high theater average. Not everything is about IPs and requels. It's good to root for original films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Prime Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 You know it is possible to commend two different films for their performances without intentionally putting one down to benefit the other. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just you decided to shit on Scream’s $30m+ opening by saying “who cares” and then immediately turning to compliment a film that only $8m worth of people have cared about over the last 2 months. The “who cares?” makes it ironic. That’s the irony. 10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21C Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Seeing the comments and QRTs on this I wonder if people realize that it dethroned Spider-Man's 5h weekend, not its debut weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasNicole Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I don't think dismiss an 36M holiday opening for a Rated R movie releasing right in the middle of an extremely fast spread covid wave is really a matter of opinion, especially when the last entry opened with only 18M in way better circunstances. I really worry about the industry relying so much on IP's but numbers are numbers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other is an original adult drama in under 800 theaters in a marketplace where dramas are one of the most consistent flops.... "Only" 8m worth of people has already made it one of the higher grossing films of its kind this year which is an accomplishment... You do realize it's never had a full expansion in two months yet it's already gotten this much interest...right?
