Ayy that's good. Was expecting this to do $30Ms, but it could get in the 40s or even the 50s. Good.

Once again the EA thing has become so annoying.

This weekend's total box office will be around 50m'ish.  Should be just enough to get the total box office gross for April to 400M.

Were Boy Kills World previews so bad that they weren't even reported?

Wait, Deadline is making it sound like 1.9M includes EA. What is the truth? 

 

Amazon MGM Studios’ Challengers, starring Zendaya and directed by Luca Guadagnino, made $1.9M in previews, a figure $100K shy of what Universal’s Cocaine Bear did. The tennis sexy romcom is hoping to open to $15M for the weekend. 

Lionsgate and Kingdom Story’s Unsung Hero made $1.67M in previews.

It’s important to note that for both films not all their bread was made last night from previews, but includes early advance screening money.

Lmao again with this shit. First Civil War magic 3.5M that turns into 2.9M, and now Challengers. Tbh these threads should only be legal with official numbers and not a Jatinder tweet.

Agreed.

Terrible April, a quite month that can't even produce a single surprise hit. Market is in terrible shape, in normal circumstances a slow month normally give us some surprise hit but now the market simply couldn't make that happen.

[Krissykins]

Civil War has done well.

 

Certainly can’t blame poor critical reception this month, at least 6 of the wide releases in April are certified fresh above 80% on RT.

I expect something around 65-70M for the weekend. (18-20M Challengers + 12-15M Unsung Hero + 35-40M holdovers)

 

About 420M April total box office.

I would have loved to see a surprise hit, but which April movie had a real chance to become it? Civil War, Monkey Man, Challengers and Abigail are not the kind of films that reach great mainstream audiences. And despite this, two of them had (or will have) solid openings for the type of films they were. The most disappointing opening was Abigail and I also expected better legs for Monkey Man.

Watched Beekeeper on streaming. That movie is completely unhinged. It's basically one scene of setup and then Statham kills people for 90 minutes.

That seems overly optimistic based on the preview numbers but 420m is what I predicted for the month's total in the 2024 thread. So, I'll take it, lol

Deadline has ~500k which is definitely more than I was expecting

[Krissykins]

There’s been so much relentless marketing for the new Apes film you’d think it was coming out this weekend. 
 

 

[AniNate]

Even if the 1.9 number does include EA previews it'd still be a pretty solid number. Typically been about a tenth of the full weekend gross so close to $20 mil would be above expectations.
