Logically it feels like Apple will buy Lionsgate. Just cause they have a lot of money.

I love horror movies. Films don't have to be about plots and strict left brain logic. Tone, tension, sound, getting any purposeful reaction with film craft is real film making. Paul Thomas Anderson has some of the most famous scenes that aren't logically cathartic but are emotionally cathartic based on the visual and auditory elements he is putting together and I don't think people would say his films aren't real movies.

He meant very specific type of horror movies he watches just for screamers, not any horror movie. Because something like The Exorcist is both horror and real movie with the actual merit.

It’s official. Harrison Ford is the only actor to appear in at least one 100M domestic grossing film per decade since the 70s. Not a lot like him.

150m is looking good. Curious to see how it holds overseas this week, with Miraculous opening in Europe and likely to eat into it somewhat.

That's pretty much 50% jump from Thursday's number. Not Quite as optimistic as the first reported number of 8.8.

It's over RIP

Early Fri #s from official channels:

 

Insidious 13.0

Indy 8.8

SOF 5.0

JoyR 2.8

 

I think most of these go up, but maybe Indy less so. Insidious should, in theory, benefit from evening shows.

Fear confirmed on that one.

 

Between its nature as an adventure movie and having an older audience, it's clearly strongest in matinees. I was skeptical that had been accounted for in the 8.8 projection yesterday afternoon.

Joy Ride getting a B- CS grade from the few who did pay to see it is kinda rough. Probably won't make much more in total than the opening weekend of No Hard Feelings at this point. 

 

Lionsgate's not having a great year after John Wick and a minor hit with Jesus Revolution (nor do they have much else on deck with a lot of promise for the rest of 2023 besides the Hunger Games prequel, which is also a bit of a gamble that could go either way) following a 2022 in which they barely released anything (and what they did put out failed to make much money). They must be preparing for a sale soon.

 

This feels true, and it makes me sad, because it feels like Lionsgate is the only studio out there still consistently investing in mid-budget, non-IP movies. They weren't doing so hot already and then the pandemic completely fucked them over.

Slight chance Sly gets there with Expendables 4....I doubt it, but possible

Elemental will pass The Flash today! Domestically, at least  though it should outdo the worldwide total in time. That has to be shorter than My Best Friend's Wedding overtaking Batman & Robin.

Edited July 8, 2023 by BoxOfficeFangrl

[ThomasNicole]

9 - 9.5M looking good for Elemental, ridiculous 21-25% drop 

 

150M let’s goooo
