I don’t know if sub $10m was above expectations to be honest. I seen a lot of $10-14m. 

They were probably just comparing it to other anime movies like JJK0. One Piece has struggled forever to gain traction in America. Stampede only made 1.4 million total. One Piece opening this high in America is huge for the franchise and beyond what I expected.

WB should drop the Oceans prequel and get George and Julia back

That’s the first I’ve heard of this.. they really getting box office bomb Margot Robbie to lead?

Smile $4.0M (-26%)

Halloween Ends $1.4M (-65%)

 

One of these clearly boosted by the namesake holiday and now falling off a cliff, the other holding by quality/WOM

Terrifier 2 outgrossing Pearl is wild.  No A24 logo, no Venice premiere, no promo budget of any kind. 

 

(and I loved Pearl so I'm not dissing it but this is very unexpected)

TTP has already outgrossed Don't Worry Darling. No publicity stunts needed. Just true movie stars (not Twitter movie "stars").

Smile could hit $110M (and close to a 5x multiplier from its opening) if it doesn't get hurt too much by the major theater drops it'll be seeing over the next few weeks. 

 

Really happy to see that Banshees didn't flatline upon expanding wide like some of the other recent potential awards contenders have.

Insane post Hallowe'en hold for SMILE.

[Flopped]

Smile and TTP both benefiting from giving audiences satisfying but unchallenging versions of what they've proven to like before. Formula works.

Banshees seems to be doing alright and better than I expected it would

I understand why Smile has a strong hold, but Terrifier 2 falling only 36% even though Halloween is over is like…this film’s just unstoppable. How is it doing that?

[filmlover]

Ticket to Paradise could hit $80M+ with holds like this. Astounding.

Is Daylight Savings still a thing in the US? We should have gotten Black Adam numbers by now.

Yes.

Lyle’s Saturday ($1.61M) only down 13% from 2 weeks ago 

 

Can only imagine how many parents were like “fine, we’ll watch it”

And yet, I still don’t have high hopes for Strange World …
