Early PostTrak from Comscore/Screen Engine last night shows audiences also crazy in love for the concert pic at 5 stars, a massive 99% positive and 90% definite recommend. Those who showed up were 70% female with 51% Black, 20% Caucasian, 20% Latino and Hispanic and 6% Asian.

[Krissykins]

Unsurprising, sure, but 5 stars, 99% and 90% will always be impressive.

Almost twice the number of Tay, let's go for 180m weekend!

Very interested in seeing how the G man did!

Meanwhile, Toho International’s first self-distributed U.S. theatrical release, Godzilla Minus One (for those keeping tabs, Crunchy Roll previously released Toho movies), earned $2.1M Wednesday and Thursday previews in 1,921+ locations. The film opens wide today in 2,308 locations with over 750 Premium Format Screens (including 250 IMAX Screens. The Japanese reboot is expected to make in the high single digits-$10M+ for the weekend; however, don’t be surprised if this movie overperforms with PostTrak exits last night of 5 stars, 91% positive along with a 96% positive RT critics score and 97% from audiences. Godzilla Minus One has earned close to $20M from its release in Japan alone.

Lionsgate has John Woo’s first U.S. theatrical release in 20 years, Silent Night, which did $250K in previews last night.

 

Critics are at 62% positive on RT. Last night’s attendees didn’t like the movie at 2 1/2 stars, 65% positive and a 40% recommend.

"Given Beyonce’s pull on older audiences, particularly women (those over 25 showed up at 53%)"

This looks like The Woman King's audience, give or take.  Women King opened to $19.05M DOM.

 

"Of the opening-weekend audience (for The Woman King), 60% were female, 58% were over the age of 35, and 59% were African American. " (From Wiki)

[AMC Theaters Enjoyer]

Haven’t seen Silent Night yet but people are saying it’s more of a darker film than the trailers sold, more like Death Wish the OG than some of Woo’s other American pictures. Wonder if that plays a role in the current response.

PostTrak for Godzilla is excellent, hopefully the monster-verse fans start to show up over time

Biggest obstacle for Minus One is probably the lack of dubbed showings. Americans, as far as i know, dont like to watch movies subbed.

 

Still, this is an excellent start all around.

Can’t stop thinking about how fucking good Minus One was. Overtook Spider-Verse, Mission & Guardians as the MVP of genre films this year (Poor Things might pull an upset here though). 
 

Seeing Beyonce with my gf on Sunday, really excited for that too. Great weekend for less conventional releases. 

[filmlover]

Should be about $25M for the weekend, pretty solid considering this isn't a conventional "tour through the greatest hits" concert film like Taylor's was.
