Nice. I was on the point. I hope walks are great today and it hits upper 30s over the long weekend.

$30 million three day and 35+ four day both very possible. Good start. People know what they're getting with this franchise and are willing to pay for a safe bet like this.

So about average for the Equalizer franchise? At $70m budget and little competition, it'll be a modest success for Sony.

They should do a team up movie with him and the Queen Latifah Equalizer. whole untapped audience. my parents love that show, didn't even know the Denzel movies existed.

I remember they premiered it after the Superbowl but haven't seen any episodes of it since. There's so much stuff happening on Network TV that seems to be so under the radar until someone stumbles upon it and memes it like The Good Doctor.

Should easily be another 100+ million gross for this franchise. Also WOM is really good.

[AMC Theaters Enjoyer]

that makes it the biggest Thursday night gross of the series.

I think there are rights issues with the TV and film franchise which would prevent a crossover. Come to think of it, why is the film series under Sony and the TV series under Universal and CBS?

I like how the TV show is Queen Latifah cracking extremely PG jokes and acting all jovial, and the movie series is Denzel impaling guys in the throat with a nail gun for two straight hours.

it's GO time

We need more modest success stories like this.

Denzel truly one of our last superstars. Respect.

[Eric Loves Rey]

Following Shang-Chi’s IM gets you 32.5M.

 

If that happens, this is kind of a miracle, considering that old people don’t go to the theaters anymore and said old folks have the Queen Latifah show to watch at home. Good for Denzel. Always nice to see him winning.

I watch Abbott Elementary live and it’s always funny to see this different world of TV and saying to myself, “The Conners is still making new episodes? They still have Grey’s Anatomy airing? What the hell is an Alaska Daily?”

High 30s 3 day, over 40 4 day.

[AMC Theaters Enjoyer]

Also gives Antoine Fuqua a win after his last two movies underwhelmed on streaming.

My reaction when most network TV shows are cancelled is "Wait... that had how many seasons?". Like that Matt Le Blanc show which got cancelled last year "Man with a Plan", it had 4 seasons and I don't think anyone can say they actually watched that show beyond maybe 2 episodes. Same thing with ongoing shows like The Neighborhood, I watched a few episodes of S1 and I'm wondering how they managed to get 5 seasons and counting out of the premise "white family moves to black neighborhood"

Max Greenfield is a delight!
