Weekend Thread - 3/10-12 | Weekend Estimates: Scream VI 44.5 (franchise best!), Creed III 27.2, LXV 12.3 #AintManIII 7, Cocaine Bear I 6.2

[Boxofficerules]

Go Scream!

[stripe]

8x this previews gives around 45M OW. This is where Scream should land, IMHO

Wonder how low 65's cinemascore is? Can it go under a C-?

[DAJK]

Expecting mid-to-high 20s for Creed this weekend. But if this thing manages to hit 30M... holy crap.

Hefty Wednesday to Thursday drops for the holdovers

But they spent a lot on it (when they say 35M, its really means 50M+) and marketed it like it was Top Gun 2. Still a very good result, but good to look at things in perspective. 

 

 

if you're interested in perspective maybe don't make up budgets???

I've been waiting for this forc12 years...5 was a big rebound from 4's OW disaster...this will be even bigger

Scream VI is 94% on the verified audience score with 500+ ratings.

 

I don’t usually follow that, but that seems good for a horror film. 
 

Maybe it’ll get a B+ like the last film. 
 

Scream 2 B+
Scream 3 B

Scream 4 B-

Scream 5 B+

Could be even an A- tbh, 94% is very strong for horror 

 

It can be fans spamming it, but that would normally translate to an A-

An all around win for Scream.

Trying to think of the last time an actor being on a TV show helped boost a movie's box office numbers. There's been instances where it's the other way around (40 Year Old Virgin is a major reason why The Office even got to eight seasons), but I think the last time this happened was probably Inside Amy Schumer for Trainwreck, during that weird time when Hollywood pushed Amy Schumer hardcore for some reason.

Review bombing is difficult to do under RT's verified system since it requires you to have purchased a ticket through Fandango before you're able to vote.

I'm personally kind of stunned at the preview number and the potential opening weekend number for scream part 6. The original four are all but gone with only Cox remaining, and now you have a franchise that is nearing its 30-year Mark in just a few years from now. And yet now it's set to have its highest opening weekend ever? It's incredibly impressive in my opinion.

Good marketing plus a fanbase that while smaller then halloween is just as rabid (scream 4  being the outlier thanks to the  weinsteins messing it up)
