My highest non-Jurassic Park in-theater viewing count (which is 5, including 3 during the original opening and 2 re-releases) is probably just 2? Maybe something got a 3rd that I don’t recall, and I’m not against repeat viewings, but between work and kids there usually just wasn’t time for more 

 

For full price - one twice - Titanic.

 

For kids summer movies, I think I've seen a few of those now 3-4 times...but at $1-2/ticket each 2nd, 3rd, 4th time, it doesn't hurt the wallet much...

TGM is still flying high, another 3.3m gained on BP. With getting some PLF back soon, expecting sub 20% drops from now on.

Is Black Phone really “horror”? We don’t for maybe one jump scare it felt more like a straight thriller to me

That might be international only because Nope is coming out in August overseas

The Exorcist doesn’t scare you? Lucky.

 

I can’t watch anything to do with the devil. That Southern Baptist upbringing runs deep.

I actually feel bad for not liking the Exorcist all that much. I mean I love horror movies and it's one of the all-time greats and yet I just think it's massively overrated.

Opened  everywhere. Barely over 700m seems right

You can put Venom 2 since it is in a way a connected to NWH. And you get another -65%.

-67% from holdovers 

Yikes.

 

OS drop from holdovers  is close to DS2 .

 

As long as Dom stays stable it should be above 700m.

Watch Threads (1984).

Fallen Kingdom's back-half, but actually bloody... And let's be honest, without the island part of that movie, and a cast of new faces, you can get something like that done on a sub-100 million budget.

Though I guess you then invite a very direct comparison with Alien/Aliens. Meh...I'd still watch it (and bitch about it after).
