yeah kind of. at final stage though, couple of bad last few years study wise.

[Krissykins]

Record openings for both Neon and IFC. Nice. Glad Immaculate and Late Night with the Devil found some sort of audience. 
 

Ghostbusters opening to less than the 2016 film. Again. Wonder if this one can beat it worldwide though.

Based on unfriendly teachers, co-students, internship-places or other reasons?

[AMC Theaters Enjoyer]

Guess I was wrong about Ghostbusters.

 

Another great hold for Dune.

[Starphanluke]

I feel like this is the same number every modern Ghostbusters has opened with.

[Johnny Tran]

I'm glad someone was able to see 'Late Night with the Devil' because my local theaters aren't showing it SMH.

[filmlover]

Very impressive number for Late Night with the Devil given it's an IFC release. David Dastmalchian, Box Office Superstar?!

Just not able to focus and get the result.

[Starphanluke]

GB-$45.2m

Dune-$17.6m

yep this franchise has found it's ceiling or audience level I guess. The original was really lightning in a bottle. The admission levels for that , compared to the 4 follow ups including the 2016 movie,  are insane.

$1.24M in 570 locations

I'm almost surprised there hasn't been any attempt at continuing Casper as a big screen property in the nearly 30 years since the '95 movie, which adjusts to well over $200M today. Must be a theatrical film rights issue (I would assume Universal still has them but you never know) because one would do pretty well released around Halloween.

Will be a photo finish at 700M I think. Something like 280M DOM - 420M OS.

Too much competition in March prevents what could be 750 - 800M.

I'd be first in line for a Casper legacy sequel with Christina Ricci

Yeah, Ghostbusters is basically a family franchise at this point in case it wasn’t obvious before.

Can confirm. At my Target shift today, I had to help a woman pick out a Ghostbusters toy for her 6 year old grandson. Though explaining to this woman what a proton pack is was not very fun. 😞

I made my own proton pack when I was a kid. 
The toy was way too expensive so I got creative and tethered an old toy gun to one of my backpacks and decorated it with all sorts.  Made a trap as well.  Those were the days 

 

[Eric Twister]

As an aside, please never ask a retail worker, "What do you think I should get?" Believe it or not, I have no clue what toy your 6 year old will enjoy more.
