 Godzilla is getting 10 for sure

I really need to know the breakdown of that Heron number. I'm assuming it includes the last two weeks of NY/LA shows, which would be extremely annoying but since GKids doesn't exactly release a lot of major movies I guess I won't be that mad about it.

 

(ETA: scratch that! wow, in that case an incredible number)

 

 

If Renaissance follows the same daily pattern as Eras, that gets it to a $5.9M weekend.

oh 70% would be a harsh drop..

Speaking of Godzilla Minus One, the highest grossing Japanese live-action title stateside led Thursday with $1.25M (-8% from Wednesday) and a first week of $17M at 2,308 theaters. Pic’s second weekend looks to be $5M-$6M in what’s a toss-up for third place with AMC’s second frame of Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce.

 

That concert docu from the 32x Grammy winner paused showtimes Monday through Wednesday, but returned yesterday with $1.145M for a No. 3 spot at the Thursday B.O. She’s also looking at around $6M. Running cume for Beyonce is $23.1M.

 

Don’t underestimate Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes which placed second yesterday with $1.148M (-3% from Wednesday) and took in a third week of $19.5M at 3,691 theaters with a running total of $126.2M. Projections for the Francis Lawrence directed prequel’s fourth frame is around $8M.

I feel like these 5-6m projections for -1 are just there to have another good story because to me it looks like it should go at least 8m ?

With this Thursday, imo 8M is the floor. Deadline is probably comping the movie with other foreign language/japanese anime movies which tend to be very frontloaded when opening so wide. And as you say, the headlines read even more positive when the movie outperformas expectations (again).

Fourth place goes to Bleecker Street’s feature take of Broadway musical Waitress which did $672K at 1,214 theaters.

 

Fifth place is Apple Original Production’s Napoleon via Sony which made $609K yesterday, -13% from Wednesday, for a second week of $10.2M at 3,500 theaters and running total of $48.9M.

 

Saltburn, which posted an amazing -9% third weekend, post-Thanksgiving hold, ended its third week with $2.9M after a $256K Thursday and a running total of $7.6M. The Amazon MGM movie hits Prime on Dec. 22.

[JonathanMB]

Saltburn doing weekday numbers that would be great even for an animated movie in the summer is such a weird little box office story. Wish it had opened a little higher, maybe Amazon would have held off on adding it to streaming until January then.

Th essentially locks the true fss increase. Personally I think it may increase without needing the true crutch.

Yeah, im getting more and more optimistic for it getting 11M+, but i dont want to get overly excited and then be "disappointed" with like 9,8M. Increase or not, it will have an amazing hold.

ERC - $1.2M
