Borobudur Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 This should bode well to DS2 second weekend right? But as I can recall, almost every marvel films have their 2nd weekend this empty and shallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the overseas market have DA2 drop half from first one. If this play as hint, the next week opening may only be around 15-20m, slightly better with DOTN which was hit hard super bowl Sunday Edited May 13, 2022 by titanic2187 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for the relatively divisive reception it would probably be one of the best second weekend drops in the genre. Now I'm expecting at least a 60% drop.

M37 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 12 minutes ago, BruiseCruise said: DS2 with $7.7 mil thursday Ouch. Presuming that estimate holds (and doesn't come up $300K like it did yesterday), $70M+ 2nd weekend is probably a stretch now All other holdovers should bounce back fairly well with DS2 dropping hard and Firestarter going up in smoke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Firestarter will probably hit about $5M for the weekend due to Friday the 13th but still an unsurprisingly dismal start overall between the nonexistent marketing and awful reviews. They should've just sent it straight to Peacock instead of doing a hybrid release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 There's like one or two theaters in NYC where Firestarter isn't in one of the smallest auditoriums. Absolutely pitiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, the only hope is a big Friday jump, followed by a big Saturday one... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoMisfits Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Although, since I mentioned BvS, I guess that would make Dr Strange's weekend floor BvS's $51.335M...it's nice to set the range, with I guess Deadline's $80M as the top of the range...

Krissykins Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) I can’t see Firestarter hitting $5m with those previews. In 3,400 locations, wow. Scream is the only horror film of the year to open over $6m… January - May have been unusually empty. The only main studios that opened a horror were Paramount, A24 and Universal. The Black Phone, Nope, Salem’s Lot and Halloween Ends will hopefully perform. Edited May 13, 2022 by Krissykins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
