When a movie is so bad the WoM spreads quickly.

[CJohn]

Laughing out hard if this motherfucked opens with 50M+.

[BruiseCruise]

I'm guessing 34m

It's gonna sink like a rock, but I'm curious to see how long it takes before that happens. Will it enjoy a honeymoon period on opening weekend or will we see a drop tomorrow?

[Brainbug]

This is it.

 

The true event movie of 2022.

[druv10]

Not bad at all. 40-45M OW

Yeah, more likely on the higher end but the WOM is really bad so it could make the IM unusually low.

Damn it now Sony will keep making villain movies

That Madame Web movie has the same writers as Morbius...

Just judging based on people I follow, Saturday bumps will likely be really low in the evening because of Duke vs UNC. Seems like it's being treated like the Superbowl by a lot of people.

[filmlover]

Should be about $40-45M opening weekend with this start although legs will probably be on the pitiful side. Sony Law scores another win (albeit a minor one) for one weekend, I guess.

Will it really have any significant on the box office?

For movies relying on male demo yes

When I see stuff like this, I tend to think it will have a noticeable impact

 

 

 

 

 

Nowhere near Mayweather vs Pacquiao, but noticeable.

 

WrestleMania is also there on Saturday and Sunday but that might be minimal impact.

[Blaze Heatnix]

Not a bad number, imo. 

[Krissykins]

I was assuming $50m OW would be the floor until looking at the tracking thread this week. Maybe it’ll be $42-43m. 
 

I guess that’s fine.
