Violent Night was looking pretty strong in my area last night. A few of the theatres I track I would have said 1M is possible based on their attendance, but since I don't have my full tracking abilities anymore, I wasn't willing to go out on that limb :(

 

Good for it though! Hoping it can hit low-teens this weekend.

Not very good for WF. 

4.7 (+160) 

7.7 (+65) 

5.0 (-35) // 17.4 (-62%) does seem like a likely scenario although there's possibility that it goes lower. 

 

Could you explain those numbers? Certainly they are not for the weekend. That's $17.4 million. That's a 62% drop from its third weekend. That's the very definition of "falling off the rails".

 

There will be those who would back pedal and say "that's to be expected" or "people are just being doom and gloom" and be revisionists. Some of those folks were the ones to say that it will reach at least $470 million.

They're for the weekend. I've given reasonable Fri and Sat bumps over that 1.8M Thursday. 17-17.5M looks like where it'll end up.

Last week was a soft drop because of Thanksgiving. If it was a normal weekend it drop would have dropped around 45% to about $36m. ~$18m would be a normal 50% drop from that.

 

BP2 is currently performing almost exactly like BP's 5th Mon-Thursday frame. In its 6th weekend it grossed... $17m.

WF is doing what is has done every week now. Bleak weekday numbers and then it recovers during the weekend to a ok number. It will likely do the same again. The second weekend so many was saying it will not even reach 63M... after the weekday numbers

Look up November blockbusters' drops on the post-Thanksgiving weekend over the years. They're always brutal.

RT Verified Score at this point in time:

 

Violent Night: 91%

 

Honestly better than I expected. I assumed we would have had a Bullet Train-style mid-80s score, so it could at least have a good second weekend hold before Avatar demolishes everything.

Yep. @jedijake The culprit here is the really soft weekdays. The weekends have behaved pretty strongly (Friday/Saturday bumps and Sunday drop) but the raw numbers are still a little lower than you'd like because the weekends are bouncing off soft weekdays.

 

This on top of the fact that post Thanksgiving weekend drops are usually harsh.
