+50M probably locked. Let’s see if it can get to 60, which i doubt.

[John Marston]

So are theaters dead yet?

[Eric is Quiet]

Very curious now about what Part II would have opened to if COVID never happened. Because I was thinking somewhere in the 60s, but if a prequel with none of the main cast is getting to the mid 50s or higher? Then maybe this could have done 70+. Or 80+

They believe they just have to get people in the door and everything will be perfectly fine afterwards.

 

Don't think they're wrong when it comes to a franchise that typically makes $300mil WW on a $67 mil budget.

Yes. Despite the fact that theaters are struggling/closing and the entertainment industry is contracting, absolutely everything is fine due to Day One’s overperformance on opening weekend. We did it!

 

There’s slight optimism and then there’s burying your head extremely deep in the sand every weekend.

I mean, there are plenty of cases where the marketing backfires. A single opening weekend doesn’t change that.

Who exactly is doing this?

Moderation

 

We aren't doing this "the trades are lying about Quiet Place's budget" nonsense. Anyone who continues this will see a thread ban.

How about the person who started it gets a thread ban? Considering they do this exact same thing every other weekend, maybe it’s time something is, y’know, actually done about it.

I'm not talking about those cases, I'm talking about this one 

[Krissykins]

Anyway!
 

Excellent start for A Quiet Place: Day One. A franchise record preview number.

…It should be pretty obvious, shouldn’t it? But I guess I would say a large amount of people here who don’t look at overall trends, don’t listen to what people in the industry say about its situation, or complain every week about people talking about the overall box office on…a box office site.

They were never dead, to begin with. However, they need movies that people actually want to see. People will see movies they want to see.

Ok? I wasn’t. I wasn’t just talking about Day One, I was talking about studios/films in general. The person I replied to even mentioned The Exorcism as another example.

 

Don’t butt in if you don’t understand what people are talking about.

I’ve always been of the opinion that Part II would have hit 200M+ DOM and 400M+ WW minimum.

[AniNate]

Should hopefully still be above last year if the estimates hold, then the yellow pills will add another good boost next week.

 

Not looking any further ahead than that right now, I can only hope moon does a lot better artistically and financially than the promotion indicates 

[cannastop]

My projection for Inside Out 2's weekend:

Friday: $16m (+45%)
Saturday: $20.7m (+30%)

Sunday: $17.6m (-15%)

 

Total: $54.3m

I just noticed those trailer views on YT for Fly Me To The Moon are LOW.

 

Is this an anomaly? Could be a YT thing only?

[Ryan C]

Guys, The Numbers has the preview numbers for Horizon. 

 

They aren't pretty. $800K
