Deadline with only a 70% Thursday to Friday jump for Exorcist. That would be very low. 

Knew this was way off. 
 

Friday jump was +123% instead of Deadlines 70%.

KOTFM: 9.4 Fri with previews (official estimate)

$4M for the Nightmare Before Christmas re-release is impressive considering there was no marketing for it. An enduring classic!

[Johnny Tran]

KOTFW was indeed a masterpiece.  I would say that it's a slow start and if you wanted to trim the film anywhere it would probably be with the first hour.   When it gets rolling along in hour two it doesn't let up from there. There will be many many Oscar nominations out of this.

Keeps going lower

Just saw the Killer of the flower moon thought the movie was great. It was slow but not unbearable kind of slow and I don't have hard time understanding the plot at least unlike Oppenheimer. Me and my friends all come out praising the movie.

Highly recommend Killers of the Flower Moon to everyone. It's bleak and depressing, the film doesn't shy away from the horrible subject matter, BUT the movie never becomes boring or devolves into pure misery porn. There's a good amount of the dark humor as well that Scorsese's known for as well. I only felt the length in that I had to get up to piss twice but luckily the bathroom was right next to my theater.

The first I heard of it was when I was at the theater yesterday and saw the poster. Kinda tempted to go, I was basically raised on that movie.

Not a great opening weekend but relatively in line with other Marty/Leo joints outside Shutter Island. People had high expectations due to Oppenheimer and the awesome presale start. It's fine. It won't have a great IM but it should have great legs and do 75m, which is better than most post-pandemic adult movies. Promotion would have probably got it to 30m. What big adult/drama films are even close to finished filming and coming out next year? This whole conversation may be moot.

I guess And? But anthology films are a hard sell even if Poor Things does very well this December.

Everything that was in the middle of filming seemed to be stuff that was/still are (for now) scheduled for Summer 2024 so I wouldn't expect much on the fall festival front this time next year.

Nope. this is the time of year these films actually shoot. The Movie Critic would have gotten done, for example. Megaopolis is done but it's not a commercial play. It is pretty much going to be independent and foreign films for adults next year. Hopefully the market survives enough to get us to 2025.

 

It's a double victory for the studios - they get to not pay actors AND all the shit that's already shot is summer sequel crap and not the unprofitable adult movies they don't want to fund anymore and only do so because artists and actors insist on it pretty much.

AMC is only expecting a 26-27M weekend for Eras. I guess Saturday sales aren't up much from yesterday.
