BadOlCatSylvester Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 https://variety.com/2023/film/news/box-office-knock-at-the-cabin-previews-1235511145/ Quote Director M. Night Shyamalan’s newest twisty thriller “Knock at the Cabin” is barging into its opening weekend with $1.45 million in previews at the domestic box office. The previews came from from 3,000 domestic theaters, and the film will expand to 3,643 locations on Friday. Shyamalan’s most recent movie, 2021’s “Old,” opened slightly higher with $1.5 million in previews. “Knock at the Cabin” is predicted to open between $15 million and $20 million, which may be just enough to dethrone James Cameron’s blockbuster “Avatar: The Way of Water,” which has sat atop box office charts for seven straight weeks. Dating back to its release in mid December, “The Way of Water” has been a box office juggernaut and recently cracked the top 10 highest-grossing domestic releases of all time, but Shyamalan’s newest film may knock it out of first place for once.

filmlover Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Should be about $14-16M for the weekend, which is enough to unseat Avatar (depending on 80 for Brady's numbers). Not a breakout, but for a movie with such a bleak premise, acceptable enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Quinn Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 For what it's worth, and I know it's a pretty...aged comp, but Old did 11.24x a 1.5M preview in the heart of the summer. So this could still outpace Old, which I feel would still be quite good, especially when the hook and premise isn't as appealing or easy to sell as Old's or Split's was. Plus M. Night's movies are cheap and likely do well on digital. Sucks that it didn't go as high as we wanted, but not the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M37 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Knock a bit lower than I had expected based on tracking, but Brady decently below the ~$1M Thur had penciled in Not sure either gets to $15M from there, and could be a close race for #1 on the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup23 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I am thinking Knock will do around 14.5M-15M this weekend based off that preview. Wish it would have hit 20M+ but seemed a little to optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Given how old its audience almost certainly is, I imagine shows past a certain hour for 80 for Brady are pretty much going to be dead. Should hit double digits still, which is more than I expected from it a few weeks ago. Edited February 3, 2023 by filmlover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
