Weekend thread August 16th-18th Alien Romulus $6.5m previews

[filmlover]

Alien is likely hitting $100M with how barren the marketplace is going to be until Beetlejuice (including the 4-day Labor Day weekend to give it a boost).

[The Dark Samurai]

Inside Out 2 and D&W weekend grosses after their opening weekend:

 

101/57/30 for Inside Out 2

97/54/30 for Deadpool and Wolverine

 

Grosses after week 4:

 

D&W $546,819,959

Inside Out 2 $534,138,158

 

With Labor weekend coming up and little new competition, the path to $650 is not unrealistic for D&W. There's a decent chance of being over $605 million after Labor day weekend which again would be around $10 million more than Inside Out 2 after 6 weekends.

Everything was over estimates this weekend, some by quite a lot.

Deapool and Wolverine are doing some fine work on the weekends

Weekdays will be a lot weaker tho. I think it will rest on 630. That it is even coming close to IO2 is ridicilous. What a ride

Half-convinced WB should try to get a Corpse Bride re-release out in time for Halloween, especially if 🪲🧃 really does crazy numbers and really rejuvenates some Burton nostalgia.

Now that I would be the first in line to see. I really hope WB does this it would be perfect for Halloween.

I was introduced to her in last year's Priscilla, the only Elvis movie that matters. Amazing movie right there, and I knew from her performance she was gonna go somewhere. I guess I was right!

do you mean underestimated?

most films have beat yesterdays estimates.

[Krissykins]

Cailee Spaeny was the best thing about The Craft: Legacy. I can’t remember her much in Bad Times at the El Royale. 
 

I thought Priscilla was boring. Much preferred Elvis.

That's what I said, most everything came over estimates. I didn't keep track of the daily estimates this week so idk if it was spread throughout the weekend or if just one particular day did better than expected for most movies. Regardless, all over estimates.

I liked Cailee Spaeny before it was cool

 

[Avatree]

This is still to date the only film I ever watched in the cinema that I afterwards went straight back to the counter and bought another ticket for the next showtime.

Also, I liked Uprising! I was happy Spaeny was in Romulus! Plus Merced from Transformers 5!!

A 2.5 * really shouldn't be that hard even if the fan reception is as divisive as what it seems like it will be.

While the top two movies were underestimated.

I had no idea she was in craft legacy. Like I posted earlier I'm going to try to find some of her earlier work. I really think she has terrific screen presents and of course it helps that she's easy on the eyes as well.
