April 14th-16th 2023 Weekend Thread | $900K previews for Renfield

Sounds like one of the major chains is having technical issues today, so any chance of early Friday numbers may be slim unless it's fixed soon.

As someone who hasn't really followed it since that initial trailer, I can't help but wonder why Renfield didn't catch on with the TikTok generation who propped up Megan and Cocaine Bear into being legitimate hits.

 

How much did TikTok actually help those movies? It’s not like they made out of the ordinary numbers for the types of films they are

WTF?

 

‘Air’ and ‘Renfield’ Were Outgrossed Thursday by ‘The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King’

 

 

 

You can't keep a good king down.

Cocaine Bear went viral cause the premise is so funny. Megan had "the dance".

Like… issues with reporting? Or issues with operating in general?

Can't say I'm surprised.

 

Seem to recall the 2013 remake wasn't that well-liked and plummeted in its second weekend?

 

Age-old rule of the new film paying for the sins of the last film.

 

I doubt many people even remember that film.

Theaters are definitely operating. I am sure some batch job failed and they are debugging :-)

 

Let us see if Mario can hit 20m today. it will come close either way.

it'll clear 20M pretty safely with only the 8.24%  drop from Thursday

Half of these already had reboots in the last 10 years

Renfield will end Universal's winning run.

[XXR vs XXR]

Looking at historical precedence, Mario should do $70-75M this weekend. 

[CJohn]

Renfield is gonna be a mega bomb for Universal. Lucky for them 2023 has been nice so far. 65M budget and I am guessing it won't even for 50M WW total.

Strange World, Amsterdam, Lightyear, Devotion, and Babylon are the biggest money losers of 2022

Disney really needs some big winners with animations this year.

Wait, a dragon ball movie made $40m DOM last year???? How did that happen and how did I miss it? 

Unlike Broly which was pretty big, Super: SuperHero kind of flew under the radar

‘Super Mario Bros’ Bouncing To $72M, Best Second Weekend Ever For Illumination – Friday Box Office

FRIDAY AFTERNOON: Illumination is looking at another record 3-day as the Universal/Nintendo co-production Super Mario Bros Movie is on its way to a $72M Friday-Sunday, the best second weekend for the animation studio. That’s a 51% ease at 4,371 theaters after a $20M second Friday, -64%. Running total by end of Sunday will be $332.8M.

Previous best second weekend for Illumination belonged to Minions which did $49.2M, -57%.

Second place looks like it’s going to Amazon/Artists Equity/Skydance Sports/Mandalay’s Air which is eyeing a second Friday of $2.4M, -52% — a great hold off the holiday weekend, and 3-day of $8M+, -44%, and running total of $33.5M at 3,507 locations.

 

Third is currently a dead heat between Universal’s Renfield and Screen Gems’ Pope’s Exorcist, both north of $3M for Friday and just under $8M.

Fifth goes to the fourth weekend of Lionsgate’s John Wick: Chapter 4 at 3,033 theaters with a $2M Friday, -58%, and 3-day of $7M, -52%, with running cume by Sunday of $159.1M.
