How good (or bad) is this?

It is good for a romantic drama. Even if it's frontloaded, OW should be $2M. Anyone But You opened to $1.33M but had killer legs for a $8.25M total; let's see if This Ends With Us reaches 100M lc.

That's a pretty good result for It Ends with Us. With an empty slate we'll see how much it can leg out.

1M tickets should be Trap's goal.

 

It was too optimistic: OW was just $800K, 15M lc.  Borderlands is not looking good either.

[Purple Minion]

Yikes, Borderlands opened to about $300K, 5.7M lc.  The re-release of Prisoner of Askaban grossed more!

[Purple Minion]

Latest audience totals, per CANACINE: Inside Out 2 25.4M, Despicable Me 4 10.5M, Deadpool & Wolverine 9.3M.

Top 10, please?

AUGUST 8-11 WEEKEND. 

1. Deadpool & Wolverine - $62.8M/$716M (-56.33%)
2. It Ends with Us - $49.6M
3. El Candidato Honesto - $34M
4. Despicable Me 4 - $23M/$763M (-39.31%)
5. Trap - $16M
6. Late Night with the Devil - $11.1M/$41.2M (-47.14%)
7. Inside Out 2 - $6.2M/$1,861.3M (-53.38%)
8. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Re issue) - $2.4M/$6.2M (-14.29%)
9. Borderlands - $5.7M
10. Harry Potter and the Phisopher's Stone (Re issue) - $1.6M/$4.6M (-20%)

Strong weekend all around. It Ends with Us is the obvious standout as it opens on par with The Fault in our Stars' 3-Day back in 2014; and aims to finish somewhere around $150M. 

On the other hand; El Candidato Honesto also grabs the highest opening of the year for a local release and the second best since pandemic times after Radical. It's looking to become the $100M local grosser of the year.

Trap dissapoints opening below last week's Late Night with the Devil despite a higher screen count and will likely end up on par with Shyamalan's previous work; Knock at the Cabbin.

Harold and the Purple Crayon quickly lost its title as the bomb of the season to Borderlands which opens 40% lower than that one.

Deadpool & Wolverine is still on route to $800M. At this point after release Thor started to hold sub-50% drops so those will make a difference on how high on 800s will place at the end.

Despicable Me 4 is running pretty much on par with Rise of Gru at the same point so $800M are looking quite good. After securing all records; Inside Out 2 is now coming to an end to its legendary run after its biggest theater loss to date which will continue in coming days.

[Carlangonz]

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice tickets go on sale on August 22. It's very likely that will be the next $100M opener and $300M grosser. Buzz is stronger than that of other retro properties like Indiana Jones or Ghostbusters.

Sadly Twisters got lost all its potentital due to fierce competition. Would've fared much better during April/May.

The most recent Alienverse. Prometheus got the money but Covenant the audience. Romulus is getting good reviews and it's more horror than sci-fi, it should get the lc award.

Prometheus	$45,470,298	748,894	$112,173,500	2,020,694

Another weekend where we get the wealth spread. It Ends with Us looking at a strong hold and over $100M after Sunday.

 

Alien will do fine; No. 1 for the weekend with a $60M opening. But the surprise is coming from Coraline's re-issue; may round close to $20M.

[Purple Minion]

Romulus opens with decent $2.8M, 53M lc. Other totals: Inside Out 2 $102 0M, Despicable Me 4 $43.6M, Deadpool & Wolverine $41.1M, It Ends With Us a fab $7.6M.

[Carlangonz]

Coraline well close to $50M. Could become the biggest non-Titanic re-issue ever. Another hit for animation's streak this year.

[Carlangonz]

Theaters expanding Coraline shows on Sunday.

 

Could be a close call for No. 1 between it and Romulus. If Coraline wins would be the second time a re-release top charts after Titanic 3D in 2012.

 

It Ends with Us looking to easily beat FIOS lifetime and $200M. One of the shockers of the year.
