This is a bad number for Wonka. I think the film will do well domestically but that overseas number for IMAX is abysmal.

Just watched Mr. Monk's Last Case. If I had a cent for every murder mystery released in December in the 2020s where the murderer is basically an Elon Musk stand-in, I would have 2 cents, which isn't a lot but it's wild it's happened 2 years in a row now.

 

Apart from that, it was a great reunion episode and made me want more Monk adventures. Maybe just a movie a year.

Its only on Peacock right?

Hunger Games is doing so well. The multi is already at nearly 3.1x.

 

I still don't understand the B+ CS.

I wouldn’t say Bullet Train underperformed. 2.7x its budget and over $100m domestic with a 3.4x multiplier. 

 

 

The budget was 90m and it was without the marketing.

Who cares? It made 43M in just 37 markets, many of them are seeing daily growth 

 

It’s actually the opposite, while DOM seems to be heading to a good but normal 150M-ish, OS can try +300M with holidays if the next markets are strong like this weekend markets.

It's kind of a downer overall, especially the ending. In context, the CS isn't too surprising.

Yeh that’s right. So it grossed 2.7x its budget. It didn’t underperform at all.

Wonka about to slay over the holidays everywhere.

Predicting 135m for Wonka, 120m for Color Purple and Migration (PIB style legs incoming), and about 90 for Aquaman. 25m for Poor Things, 20m for Iron Claw and Ferrari. Eh!!!

Do you think TCP is going for like $14M on Christmas Day? Because that’s roughly what history tells us is needed for that $120M total 

 

Im not saying it can’t, sales are incredible, just trying to keep expectations off that opening day in check

I think it certainly appears to be headed for about 12, and as high as Les Mis wouldn't totally stun me though I am doubtful it gets that high. It's already selling well with a (likely) review boost to come. Also, the PostTrak data consistently shows that black audiences of all ages returned to theaters in slightly higher degrees than white audiences, and the last movie targeted towards black audiences was.....I can't even remember.

You just insulted the Beyhive, good sir. Beware.

[AMC Theaters Enjoyer]

My “Wonka is gonna be the biggest movie of the holiday” prediction is looking good.
