Huh. I expected $750K based on numbers we had. That's without $100-150K EA. 

some possible underestimation on whoever is distributor. OR I have another theory, if that's true that will suck.

People really don't wanna go back to theaters for anything that isn't a big CGI spectacle or a horror movie. Sad times we live in.

y'know we don't need to do these eulogies for theaters for every flop. sometimes it's just a Gerard Butler movie called Plane that's about a plane.

wait

did the mods just steal some posts from the weekdays thread to fatten up this one?

No. We were just moving the proper conversation to the right and appropriate thread. When weekend numbers come in, they should be in a weekend thread, not pointlessly clog up the weekdays thread.

Hopefully Otto this weekend gives CJohn faith in theatres again.

Ambulance had a 12.4x in April of last year, The 355 a 13x on 1/7 weekend, even gawd-awful Moonfall a 14x on pre-Super Bowl weekend. So high single digits 3-day seems quite possible for Plane, wouldn't rule out squeaking over $10M with holiday Sun

 

The Thursday crowd seems to care less for these generic action flicks, more GA friendly, so they IM decently well
