Insidious always gets underrated with how popular a franchise it is

[baumer]

That pretty much ensures a number one opening for Insidious.

Forgot until now that the last Insidious casualty made almost 30M on its opening weekend without even having Wilson or Byrne in it. How the heck did that even happen?

[Borobudur]

If the review is at least decent, Insidious will have even bigger breakout potential but the review is terrible and I not sure if they will impact IM through weekend. And also strangely for a widely known movie, insidious doesn't have much review on RT now. Only 23 reviews registered so far.

RT Verified Aud. Scores:

 

Insidious - 72% (100+ ratings)

Joy Ride - 89% (50+ ratings)

[baumer]

This is definitely going to be an interesting weekend. With those preview numbers it looks like 25 million is definitely on the board for insidious.

 

I have no idea what joyride is tracking at but I haven't really heard or seen much marketing for it.

 

I think Indy will probably fall maybe a little north of 60% but because it caters to an older demographic I don't think we're going to see a 70% drop.

 

With an expansion into Canada and more theaters in the US I'm wondering if sound of freedom can get into the high teens. It's going to be a really interesting time to see what this movie ends up doing in total.

 

Spider-verse and elemental should be another interesting battle this weekend.

Insidious: Red Door is SO bad. I'd be surprised if it showed legs of any kind. 

Joy Ride on the other hand is a pleasant surprise and better than No Hard Feelings.

On the level of a Devil Inside, post holiday $30M+ opening but not even a 2x total?

I honestly forgot that Insidious isn't the one with vera farmiga.

[PrinceRico]

Happy for Insidious. Great number. I’m guessing Joy Ride will barely do The Blackening numbers opening.

It's so random to me that this new Insidious movie is also Patrick Wilson's directorial debut. Not entirely unexpected given his ties to the franchise I suppose (and being very much at home in genre films based on his filmography), but still, a different approach than what we usually see from actors making the jump to directing heh.

Could we see an insidious and Conjuring cross-over?

That range for Sound of Freedom in this weeks derby

What are some of the ranges?

[Cap]

Good Mornin’, Team!

 

Let’s all agree to two things and move on for the weekend:

 

1. Sound Of Freedom is about child kidnapping, which is bad. Child endangerment is bad. 

 

2. Conspiracy Theories are also bad! All they do is breed paranoid and malcontent! 
 

Now that everyone has agreed to this, let’s move on for the weekend. Neither of these issues have anything to do with box office numbers, so let’s try to keep that in mind. And if you do wanna talk about these issues, we have a Real World Subforum for you!

$8.42m - $30m

 

I'm guessing some people didn't realise it's only FSS that counts
