[Jiffy]

This would have been a good opening even pre-pandemic.

Yeah, that's the funny thing. So weird to dismiss it or imply any studio would be discouraged by it. 30s is literally in line with Bullock's openings and pre-pandemic comedies or higher like The Upside (20.3m), Good Boys (21.4m), Night School (27.2m), Trainwreck (30m), Girls Trips (31.2m)

 

Universal would love a 30m for Bros (their Apatow produced comedy this Sept).

Prime JH was much bigger than CT for sure. Hartnett, Tatum, Kutcher and Freddie Prinze Jr should make the Avengers-of-early 2000s rom coms where they are all divorced and competing over the never married Julia Stiles while befriending her much cooler friend Kirsten Dunst.

Yes, this is good relative to pre-pandemic numbers for Bullock or comedies. What I think a lot of people try to dance around is that the pre-pandemic numbers for these things were happening at the same time as the increasing blockbusterfication and IPification that people love to complain about. Making a 2 ROI on a 100M total spend is nice but it’s not really going to displace the recent chasing of 1.5 ROI on 500M total spend. 
 

I think it’s absolutely correct to view this as a good opening and an over performance against expectations. But like I said originally — these numbers being an overperformance demonstrates the weakness of the base case. If people want to see that trend actually reverse, what we’ll need to see is not the occasional overperformance but for the whole reference class to get to a point where these numbers are more like z=0 than z=1.5

For what its worth, TLC Friday night screenings around me are a hell of lot busier than the Thursday night screenings.

I am expecting 36-40 atm fwiw, if it hits the high end I will sound even more impressed.
