I thought as Ferrari was a wide opening. Or not?

No, you're right. I just forgot.

Neon's still waiting for that one project that will truly catapult them into the more mainstream conscious ala A24.

 

Their only movies to make $20M+ in their nearly 7 year existence are I, Tonya (which also had renewed interest in that scandal to give it a boost) and Parasite, both of which had the benefit of being largely assisted by awards season.

Damn love lies bleeding increased theaters and still didn’t jump 100 percent on Friday oof people are not interested at all on this one

Eesh, don't think $200mil is happening anymore. That word-of-mouth really must've dinged it.

Yea that’s not a great number for Panda. Still, 185M or so should happen, which is far better than anyone had it a month ago.

Nah, it just opened as a $35M family movie with $25M in older teen money.  So, it's gonna go 4x+ that family money + the OW teen money (which didn't catch on post the weekend, like Minions did), or exactly where it should have ended up.

 

It wasn't really a "family opener" in the traditional sense, but more a hybrid, so a lower leg multiplier...

It's going to end up the most profitable because of that 85M budget.

Good to know Turning Red, the best of these, opened the highest. Quality wins yet again.

I do think Ghostsbusters might've had more audience overlap than we thought, though I still believe it'd be doing sub 45% drops with better reviews.

In my showing last night, there were a ton of little 8-12 year old boys...so that demo is turning out for this GB...

For me Turning Red is easily the worst out of the three. But still they are all excellent movies so I guess it depends on your taste. I think Pixar would have had an incredible run with Soul-Luca-Turning Red in theaters if COVID would not have happened.

So this is not gonna hit $200M worldwide?

[filmlover]

A rather meh launch for Ghostbusters, which is bound to get hit hard next weekend (even with the Easter frame) between Godzilla x Kong arriving + taking over all IMAX/PLF screens. Hopefully now they'll take the hint the potential they dream of for this IP is clearly not there.
