The issue is that is hard to be consistent when the release calendar itself is very incosistent. We had a whole 5 weeks between Scream and Uncharted with only Jackass in the middle and barely anything else. After that, 3 weeks until The Batman and 3 more weeks for The Lost City with again barely anything else.

 

Most of the big studios movies this year have done really well. We just need more movies.

 

Agreed. Which is why April is going to be a good test. Lots of product coming to market, with different target markets.

@EmpireCity do you know if the Friday number for EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE includes the IMAX previews on Wednesday?

CinemaScore has to be like a C+ right? B- best case.

Dark Pheonix had a B- with a lower RT Verified Audience Score. Morbius might get B- on CS

‘Morbius’: Sony Marvel Jared Leto Movie Sinking Teeth Into $40M+ Opening – Saturday Box Office Update

 

 

Sony-Marvel’s Morbius grossed $17.2M yesterday, for what is shaping to be $40.8M opening; estimates we first told you about yesterday. Sony is giving a range between $38M-$41.5M.

 

That said, with awful reviews at 17%, a C+ CinemaScore, and low Comscore PostTrak audience exits of 62% positive/47% recommend; everyone in the business should count their blessings with a $40M+ opening.

 

 

 

 

OUCH

[snarkmachine]

Wonder if Morbius would have opened better in its original January slot

This is gonna drop 65-70% in the next two weekends.

Hey we gotta think positively. C+ is better than C or C-!

[BruiseCruise]

Real question is will it pull a worse multi than BvS?

[snarkmachine]

I wanna know the marketing costs of this with all the delays too

[Juby]

Good hold for The Batman. Seems to aiming $11.5m 5th weekend.

[ImNotRacistAtAll]

Kinda crazy TSS had 12,1 Friday with previews. Though it was lower because of how bad it flopped. 

[Krissykins]

A C+ is dreadful for a superhero film isn’t it? 
 

Any comparisons?

Good thing that Ambulance releases next week. By then, Morbius is gonna need one.

The box office subreddit is shit talking the forums because of @DAJKsaying Morbius might do 25M in a throwaway post.
