Could be a close race between these three for domestic finals.

WSS will finish the highest since it still has an Oscar bump coming up and it's unlikely to land on D+ until after the ceremony so they can trumpet however many nominations/wins it receives.

Im going with WSS too because of Oscar noms.

Seeing the nice legs on The King's Man gets me even more pissed that Disney didn't pull their head out of their ass with it.  Should have been released on Jan. 21st or 28th and it would be doing a lot better.  Same thing goes for American Underdog, especially with how Redeeming Love showed the juice of faith based audience in mid-late January.  

 

The biggest mistake of the re-opening is that all the studios shoved 10 films into a 3 week window and then left only 2 wide releases for January.  If Journal for Jordan is a MLK release, put The King's Man on the 28th, do Nightmare Alley limited and then expand through January, have American Underdog go on Jan. 21st and all of those films would have done way more and made it better for theaters as well.  

 

 

The King's Man being released in such a crowded space was likely intentional on Disney's part. There was little to no hype or desire for any more Kingsman after the second movie poisoned the well. The Mouse likely foresaw this and decided to quietly dump it, thus getting rid of a tainted brand that serves no purpose within his glorious empire.

 

At least Vaughn himself has the movie rights, so he can take it elsewhere after this. Whether or not anyone would want to continue the existing series remains to be seen. Wouldn't be too surprising to see it take the low budget TV/streaming reboot route that Shadowhunters and His Dark Materials took after their respective feature film attempts failed, with the Kingsman name completely scrubbed off by the time the final product is in the can. Would be like the original comic again which was titled just The Secret Service.

Glad to see Spidey back at #1 like it deserves.

Should remain 10th next weekend with no releases. MGM should give it a real Oscar bump in Feb and up the ante with 2000 theaters. 

 

West Side Story should make 40m. Disaster but oh well. 2nd biggest drama behind Gucci

It's still strange to me seeing movies like Matrix (come on it's Matrix), Kingsman (good humor, lot action, fun) and Spielberg movie (yeah, THAT Spielberg) scrapping up so little in boxoffice. Normally I would see 1 before $35m in chart (at least) and come on that is just so sad 😪

How much do you expect it to gross overseas? 

I expected around $30-35m total overseas after Halloween Kills and Candyman, but it’ll fly by Halloween Kills next week. 
 

$45-50m it looks headed for.

I think if King's Man opened now or next weekend the result may have been worse... like $11m opening and less than $30m total. I think the lack of anything new is helping it rn. 

 

Jackass should've opened next weekend but I guess that's too close for Paramount with Scream.

Why would no competition make it worse? 😂

It looks like Spider-Man will just miss $14m for the weekend.  Should be right around $4m for Sunday.  

[EmpireCity]

$3.1m for Scream.

Maybe not the est is 14,125 so there is a chance that the actuals stay above 14.

Better than -75 is pretty plausible.

I think many of those -70 holds came on Mondays after the championship though I'm not entirely sure.

Speaking of, has anyone - Gitesh, Numbers, Boxoffice Pro - posted OS and WW numbers? I wonder if it passed 150M WW (was at 144M last week). BOM is completely useless cause they messed up the numbers and can't bother to catch up.

Weird. TheNumbers have completely removed NMH from their weekend chart.
