I agree with you. Scream is doing very well. I'm sure Paramount is happy.

 

I was responding to the comment about Scream being marketed more than Maverick which I said is just untrue.

Yup sorry about that. .wasn't directed at you.

If these scream estimates keep going up this thread could get real intrsesting..

Lionsgate not going to report Jesus Revolutions?

 

It's worst day of the week is normally Friday b/c its audience is at fish frys, soup dinners, and stations of the cross.  So I expect they'll slow roll it and just give a weekend estimate tomorrow...

22% of scream 6 gross is from 3D

[Cmasterclay]

Great number for Scream 6. Given they already played the "nostalgia comeback" card just last year, this one should have stayed flat at best. People just got too hyped on early presales. Amazing for a sixth entry to grow its audience this much for no reason outside of "people like Jenna Ortega now."

This could hit 45. 50 was always overly optomistic. 

I thought 40 was a lock when I hit 5.7 previews and then I got lectured (incorrectly)  about how scream is always front loaded with lousy legs. Scream 4 scarred  people.

"...goes to New York" is always a great sequel pitch though. every horror franchise should have one. I kinda hated 5cream and i want to see this.

Puss in Boots finally had a weak drop. Blu ray release and Peacock did it in

[GOGODanca]

A2 should do ~2.8m and PIB2 around 1.75m for the weekend

[MovieMan89]

Incredibly irritating both A2 and PiB are gonna finish about 10m from the 700 and 200 milestones. Fudge please. 

[DAJK]

I'm happy for how well anime has caught on at the domestic box office. But these awful, awful drops (80+%) are indicating that they are still playing to a niche fanbase and haven't really broken out much beyond that. And yes, I know that this recent Demon Slayer is just a few TV episodes packaged together as a sort of "fan event", but so many of these big anime releases have had similarly bad legs. 

[chaos]

4.4/10 Million Friday/Weeknend for 65 -- horrible flop incoming, but I am not surprised

[John Marston]

[DAJK]

God imagine if Elvis won BP. Almost would be worth it for the meltdowns  

[B D Joe]

Scream will catch up to Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th in number of sequels at this rate.

Halloween Kills followed a movie that made $76m OW DOM, even though it sucked, the hype alone would be enough to propel it to a higher OW than the follow-up to a $30m OW grosser.

 

 

wonder why Scream can't get those kind of numbers since the first two Screams sold more tickets than any Halloween film

Scream has only tidy, direct sequels without the messiness of Halloween. It was easier for them to do a scrub, twice. Plus, Halloween benefitted from Scream. More than once. No surprise that the best Halloween sequel was written by Williamson. After Halloween Kills and Ends, Ghostface is laughing.

Yikes, just no one wants to see The Fabelmans, in cinemas or at home.
