What’s all this talk of Barbie holds being just ok? 
 

Weekend:

 

2 - Down 42.6%
3 - Down 43%
4 - Down 36.2%
5 - Down 37.8%

6 - Down 28.2%
7 - Down 32.4%
 

Plus it was having gargantuan midweek numbers on summer weekdays. 
 

Granted, these weren’t Maverick holds, but they were pretty damn good. Near 4 x multiplier for any movie opening over $150 million is excellent.  
 

No movie that’s opened higher than Barbie has had a better multiplier. 
 

If Inside Out manages to hit 4 x multiplier then it will be the only movie that’s opened over $150 million to do so.  That gives you an idea of how much of an achievement it will be so we shouldn’t put too much pressure on it hitting around $615 million. Anything near $600 million will be incredible. 

 

Yeah I thought I was taking crazy pills reading that. Barbie's legs are the most impressive for a movie with an opening over $150 million, the only one to be as impressive is probably the original Black Panther. TFA is very impressive too but a notch under those two since the holiday release helped a lot (its legs).

SATURDAY AM: Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 continues to keep the box office alive with what’s shaping up to be a record second weekend for an animated movie per industry sources with $98M+ after $30M Friday, beating Illumination/Universal’s Super Mario Bros Movie ($92.3M). Studios will report their official figures later this morning. At this level, some rival distributors believe Inside Out 2 could get closer to $600M.

This is the first time since the second weekend of Barbie (July 28-30) that a movie’s second weekend has exceeded $90M+, and Inside Out 2‘s sophomore frame even beats Mattel’s American girl which did $93M. Last year Barbie and Super Mario Bros were the only movies to post second weekends of $90M+.

 

The entire marketplace looks to be around $147M this weekend, which is 35% ahead of the same weekend a year ago.

Boats are rising: Sony’s Bad Boys: Ride or Die at 3,781 theaters posted a third Friday of $5.3M, -37% with an eye on $18.6M third weekend, -45%, and a running total of $146.7M. End game is around $180M per sources. Not shabby. Bad Boys for Life finaled at $206.3M.

Focus Features’ The Bikeriders booked at 2,665 theaters after a $4M Friday and B CinemaScore and 73% positive Comscore/Screen Engine PostTrak is close to $10M, but between $9.5M-$9.7M in No. 3. It would be nice if this moody, Scorsese-like motorcycle bad boy movie could hit double digits at 2,665 theaters. When Focus took over the marketing from Disney, I hear that the Universal classic label put the focus no Austin Butler and Tom Hardy; the movie’s campaign at the Mouse House being built around Jodie Comer (who sublimely puts on an Illinois accent in this film as the tortured wife to Butler’s reckless, but sensitive, motorcycle gang member). Bikeriders is mostly popular in the West. Men showed up strong at 62% with half of those who bought tickets between 18-34 and 32% over 45. Diversity demos were 60% Caucasian, 22% Latino or Hispanic, 6% Black and 6% Asian. Highest grossing venue is AMC Burbank with close to $17K so far.

I guess people got mad because this movie was sold as another Exorcism movie like Pope's Exorcist, but it's actually a movie within a movie. This one was also filmed before Covid and it was called The Georgetown Project. 

 

Once The Pope's Exorcist got released and it was a sucess, they changed the name of this Georgetown Project to The Exorcism, promoting it as another Exorcism movie wih Crowe.

The marketing also tricked me. Crowe and Exorcist again? I thought it was a spinoff!

Searchlight’s Yorgos Lanthimos absurdist 3-hour comedy Kinds of Kindness which reteams him with his Poor Things Oscar winning Best Actress Emma Stone, as well as Willem Dafoe, is looking at a massive $80K per theater from its run at five theaters in NY and LA this weekend –so far, this highest screen average YTD in 2024– with an expected $400K after a $180K Friday.

Woa, that is big!

It's better than Mario and Barbie (especially Barbie, yuck) so it's well deserved!

Deadline estimates $147 mil for the combined weekend, so we should be staying ahead of 2023 next week if Quiet Place doesn't disappoint.

 

Minions will add another boost for the fourth weekend, so we're in good business now.

I don’t understand why the Bikeriders was so extremely frontloaded

Yeah this does not seem like the type of movie that should be that frontladed with previews.

Pretty much every white adult cinephile film outside Oppenheimer, from bigger ones like Killers of Flower Moon and Napoleon to smaller ones like this, have shitty IMs nowadays. Kinda always meh legs too tbh. These used to be the leggiest adult films and now they all have Twilight legs. There's a hardcore cinephile crowd that will see them opening night and that's it, everyone else waits.

 

Don't really care about the Inside Out numbers or the year to year comparisons if it's all at the top and movies like this can't succeed.
