#3 DOM anime should be pretty locked now for Heron. I think it can go all the way to Demon Slayer if they give it a re-expansion like they should

Wow, higher than expected for Beekeeper. Solid PostTrak stats as well. This will do better than I initially believed. What's the budget? Because that will determine whether it can be considered a success or a disappointment.

I consider myself a diehard 'Mean Girls' fan and I have very little interest.  I don't understand why this exists.  But I'm happy that it's starting out well.

Edit: Correction - that was a different movie:).  Unknown but should be under $50M.

Poor Things is awesome. Hope it keeps rolling. Looks like an easy #1 here on opening Friday. 

Surprisingly Searchlight didn't expand the location further this week after the GG win. In fact they drop another 170 locations when the hold is so good.

Solid OW for Mean Girls but suspect bad legs due to poor audience reception. Think the musical surprise hurt (I'm still reminded that my cousin my age lost all interest in Mean Girls when I told her it was a musical and my family didn't care for the stealth musical in Wonka makes me wonder if it'd leg stronger if they were honest)

 

 

Honestly, I don't think it would be a lot better if the studios were honest about the movies being a musical.

 

If the musical aspect alienate some people so much, they wouldn't give an opportunity to the movie from the beginning. So, less people would go to see the movie.

They (and the other contenders) are waiting until 1/26 for the big expansion (Oscar nominations are the 23rd) when the only major release is dumped schlock (Miller's Girl).

Anyone But You is ahead of Beekeeper in total ticket sales in Canada today. Beekeeper ATP is higher however, which gives it a slight edge in $. Still, I’m thinking Deadline has underestimated its hold.

I dont have anything concrete but if I have to take a guess Mean Girls should go higher and Beekeeper tad lower from early numbers. I am sure holdovers should do better as well. But its just instinct rather than anything concrete.

B Cinemascore for Mean Girls confirmed. Plus a 72% verified audience score. The original will remain iconic.

How was Color Purple Legs?

Bad and that had way better reception 

[Bob Train]

I don't think it's possible for Mean Girls legs to be as bad as Color Purple legs, because Color Purple had the pay-it-forward factor and opened in the strongest box office period of the year.

[Dominic Draper]

Really enjoyed Beekeeper. One of Ayers better films, as well as Stathams.

 

It's very much in the Taken/Man On Fire/Equalizer mold. 

 

Fun breezy time. Straight forward revenge action flick. Not one of the best or anything, not reinventing the wheel. But a good time.

[Boxofficerules]

How is Night Swim looking for its second weekend?

[grim22]

Knowing what we know now, this was perfect casting tbh

Ouch. The Batman v Superman of musicals has arrived. Do you all remember when that movie's huge drop was once in a lifetime? Now we get a bunch of those every year.
