The first big studio wide release in three weeks, Paramount’s The Lost City, kicked off at 3,400 theaters yesterday at 4PM for a $2.5M take. I understand that number doesn’t include any of the previous weekend Fandango previews or those at the AMC earlier in the week. The movie is expected to hit $25M, but it would not be shocking if it lands in the $30M-range. Rotten Tomatoes reviews are at 75% fresh.

 

OH OKAY

Deadline says that number doesn't include any Fandango previews of last weekend, so that's a very respectable number. Hopefully legs out to 100M final.

Can confirm via Paramount.

Seems solid enough. If it catches on with older women who wouldn't go on Thursday night, it could maybe hit 30. 

[Eric Loves Rey]

A similar multi to Jungle Cruise or Free Guy takes this to about 32.5M. Account for spring vs. summer, and then add in all those extra previews, and we get to like...34M? 35M maybe?

[Brainbug]

Solid start, especially if that isnt the "complete" preview number. Id imagine this film is heavily walk-up-based, so a mid 30s OW is very much possible.

This going $30m+ would be great. Would love a mini resurgence of rom coms.

No 30M, no theaters.

Hope to God it hits $30M+.

 

My official Go Big or Go Home prediction is $35M but I'd say anything $25M+ can be labeled a win.

 

But with The Batman, Uncharted and Dog doing great business, this needs to continue in that path.

It’s up to The Lost City to save theaters.

If TLC doesn't handily beat Batman this weekend then we've got a huge problem

He got Funniest Poster for a good reason.

I really hope this legs out. I won't have a chance to check it out until next weekend, but, when I've checked advance ticket sales at my theatre, it's been pretty quiet. But, this is a walk up crowd film. 

 

I really would like this to do well enough to hold onto screens over April, so it can leg out to some decent success.

Anything over 20M is a win for this. Expectations for a non-CBM box office smash are so low at this point that 20 is the new 30

[AdrianL]

I know y'all are probably kidding but lol at this movie being the fate of theaters. But if this $25m+ opening gets a ton of mid-budget stuff greenlit then let's go. We need a new era of good theatrical comedies pleaaaase
