Probably C+ for Blink Twice . Good time clearly for holdovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 This is why the “everything should be released theatrically” mindset is stupid. These movies shouldn’t be taking away screens from stuff people want to see 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric the Marxist Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Fun fact: The Crow has been in development since 2008 (original plan was for this to star Mark Wahlberg!). That's more than 15 years of projects coming and going, directors moving in and out, actors getting shuffled and removed. Was all of this really worth it? Was it? Was it really? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 Variety are saying Lionsgate acquired The Crow for $10m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan C Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) Apparently, Quorum is expecting Blink Twice to open to between $10M-$13M despite the low preview gross. I guess this is the kind of movie that would do better over the actual weekend instead of Thursday night, but I find that pretty hard to believe.

JimmyB Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Alien has been following Scream 6 closely. Both, R-Rated, long running IP with a bunch of sequels could be a good comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieleeann Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 A poster on box office Reddit said D&W got back some Dolby screens this weekend. I just checked by local theaters to double check and yeah, I see some Dolby and 3D showings set up for today through Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Alien or Deadpool or Twisters are hurting or are losing millions because theaters decided to give Blink Twice or The Crow an auditorium that is likely on the smaller side anyways. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, looks like at my local Cinemark. The Crow, Blink Twice and The Forge replaced Cuckoo, Harold and Skincare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Crow is going to struggle to hit 5M with that number and those audience scores. Even with Labor Day next week, I can see it finishing below Borderlands. Not sure what to many of Blink Twice yet. I’ll wait for Friday on that one, but if I had to guess probably 6-7M weekend, mid-to-high-teens final gross. Friday sales for both on Vancouver Island are anemic, although slightly better for Blink Twice. Same for The Forge, although I don’t think the liberal-leaning, non-religious part of Canada is exactly the target audience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric the Marxist Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Will say that Blink Twice's potential was kneecapped when the producers decided to name the movie Blink Twice. Like I don't think Pussy Island is that great a title, but at least it's memorable. What the hell does "blink twice" even mean? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) I do think Harold and Borderlands took up space that wasn't really needed when they released. There were a bunch of bigger movies that got squeezed because over 3000 theaters devoted screens to both of them Edited August 23 by AniNate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
