M3GAN was fun! Hoping for over $25M. For a 3:25 show the auditorium had a decent turnout. Should do really well throughout the evening.

 

*Sorry @grey ghostabout the quote. Don't know why I can't get rid of it.

That one I'm hoping they didn't highball... 😄

 

It should have been, "A Man Called Auto" and been about Optimus Prime

M3gan is not a great movie, but it's a solid, fun time with some really great comedic moments. Not even remotely scary and all the better for it. Smarter than I was expecting, too. Allison Williams seems to work best for me in horror, and there are a couple fantastic needledrops in here. 7/10. Glad it's aiming for $25m or better. Hope A2 can stick to $11m+

Wow higher than Smile's score. Looks like we have another new horror franchise! 

[XXR vs XXR]

M3GAN might beat A2 today (true Friday). Looks to doing $11M or so 

[DAJK]

Honestly 3-4M for Otto would be pretty great. Could see close to 10 next weekend which, for adult fare in these times, would be pretty solid. The book apparently sells really well still, which my friends who work at (Canada’s version of Barnes n Noble) have attested to.

Interesting. I am not seeing it that high with low average ticket price. I could see  close to 12m with previews for sure.

I'll take any small box office wins we can get!

Would be a heavy chain imbalance then. On our end it's over 11 vs Smile TF comp.

Lack of Imax/PLF have to be taken into account. Its average ticket price seem way lower than big movies. Was Smile similar or did it get more PLF/Imax shows? Anyway I wont say anything is impossible but that would be a huge skew for sure.

$11m excluding previews would be super impressive. Let's hope there's room for both movies to do well!

[Ronin46]

So OW could be 25 to 35?

Are you seeing $10-11m for A2?

[BadOlCatSylvester]

Avatar 2 getting cucked by a horror movie in the January death slot was not the start of the year I had in mind. Reworking Megan into PG-13 was a stroke of genius on Mr. Blum's end.

I think it will increase 60%+ by my estimate. So that is a safe range for sure. I dont have an exact number for now. Tracking both the numbers simultaneously is not possible. But I will have some data for reference and tomorrow it will be just A2.  

[Flopped]

Oof that A2 drop is rough. The sting of actual competition.
