Maybe a 40k PTA for the weekend, which would be solid. I saw it the other night and had fun with it.

That's a good start for Bodies Bodies Bodies.

Yikes, look like Nope got badly hurt by losing its PLF/IMAX screens. At least it'll still clear $100m easily.

Beast is getting a pretty big marketing push and could easily pull a high-teens opening, especially if it gets good reviews (possible since Baltasar Kormakur of Everest and Adrift is the director). But otherwise, a definite dry spell coming up that's nothing but good news for the holdovers.

I don't think the Avatar re-release will be big. In fact, I think it's going to be generally ignored. But I do think Avatar 2 will be huge. 

 

As someone who is extremely hyped for Avatar 2, I just don't care to watch the 1st again. In theaters. But that's just me. And I can already see doom posting if the re-release is considered a failure.

Wooooof for Bullet Train given the sheer amount of marketing and the star power. No way this should have opened under Elvis

 

Preview IMs have become such a joke it has made it legitimately slightly less fun to follow box office, all the other factors aside. It's just a full day now. If the Thursday money Revenge of the Sith made didn't get rolled into its weekend back in 2005 this shouldn't either. It's a joke, people!

Nope doing almost a million lower than OUATIH and has fallen behind it in running total as well. Looks like a 120-130M range wrap. Can go lower depending on weekdays being not as strong as well.

I don't think it is affecting box office among regular moviegoers but I can tell you personally the fact that Bullet Train is two hours instead of 90 minutes is the reason I will be skipping it in theaters. Just seems too mindnumbing to sit in a cold theater watching that particular style of movie for that long.

That's gonna open to like 15M bro. Beast will open higher than that.

Yeah you made the right call. It felt like the movie went on for an eternity with random characters and subplots popping up every other second. Doesn't help that Brad Pitt is basically trying to do Ryan Reynolds schtick and he's really bad at doing Ryan Reynolds schtick. At 90 minutes, it still wouldn't have been great, but it would have been way better as a brainless action movie.

Feels like it wasn't fun enough. Great concept but genuinely the first sign of an issue for me was when it was said to be 2 hours 10 minutes. I know judging a movie by running time isn't good but the concept never felt like it should go longer than about 100 minutes like a Smokin Aces or a Lucky Number Slevin.

I stand by Episode 3's $50M on a Thursday in 2005 still being one of the most impressive box office days there is

Speaking of which when it ended I wondered how the movie would have been with Reynolds in the lead instead
