Maybe but with 5 wide movies which come tomorrow afternoon/ friday and 2 other Sunday/Monday , he will lose a lot of screens so i don't know.

yeah it's losing a lot on Christmas day as far as I can tell.

[ThomasNicole]

If Heron survive loss of screens, i think 40M is happening. Should be at 31M by MON. 
 

Same for Godzilla and it’s shot at 50M

3x multi is my hope. That will be a first for wide opening anime as far as I know 

 

Also, belated congrats to it for becoming Ghibli’s highest grossing DOM! Arrietty was one of the worst options of all for that, so justice is finally served

We can’t rule out them getting more screens again the first 2 weeks of January. If Ferrari, Boys in the Boat, etc. make no money, they’ll get shuffled out for more reliable titles.

Boys in the Boat looks terrible and has no business clogging up screens during such a busy Xmas as it is. Hopefully it’s gone very quick

Heron is doing so good, why tf do we have 8 wide releases? That’s just unacceptable scheduling. I hope a few bomb spectacularly and Heron picks up some screens again. 

The number of theaters for this upcoming weekend is out. However there is no figure disclosed for Heron and Godzllia. So we still don't know how bad the lose of screen gonna be. 

[Borobudur]

Lionsgate is very much in holiday mood already. They stop reporting HG: BOSS daily grosses since Tuesday.

it's not uncommon for movies to lose screens during Holiday corridor but still go up in gross. We saw this with Wakanda Forever last year. A "rising tide lifts all boats" effect.

Clooney’s directorial career is so bizarrely safe. Whatever you think of him as an actor at least he took risks and made weighty projects. 

[Issac Newton]

Dunki - $858,648 OD (649 locs)

 

Friday 06:00 - $299K (332 locs)

Pre-emptively? I thought 300m was as of last weekend. I just realised they didn't bother to report theater count either.

Bearing in mind they've not reported since Tuesday, its added about 2.2 domestic Tuesday-Wednesday. Its not officially there yet. Could be international reporting delays, not sure.

The number reported incomplete numbers, since lionsgate sold some of the distribution right to local distributor which the BO aren’t necessarily captured. In actual, the movie already pass 300m , comscore confirmed the same.
