Labor Day Weekend Thread | Reagan 525K previews, AfrAId 400K

[Ryan C]

Alien: Romulus is gonna be at around $90M by Monday. I'm sorry but even if it's not holding that well domestically, I don't see how it doesn't make $10M for the rest of its entire domestic run after Monday. 

 

It should cross $100M, but it won't progress any further.

[emoviefan]

Twisters and DP and W really having strong Friday holds. Twisters has become a mini TG Maverick DOM at least and DP and W probably will not get to 650 DOM but it still has a slim chance. As for Romulus it blew through it's audience and good WOM did not mean anything to anybody outside of it. It happens. 

[justnumbers]

Yeah Alien will have a fight for that 100M Domestic. Very excited to see how it pans out either way. Thankfully we have @JimmyB to solely focus on negatives at the box office, even within the successes. That's all he does.

 

What I'm even curious about is Predator. I wonder...will they put a Prey 2 in theaters? A sequel to a streaming movie..

 

Right now, they're filming the spinoff first, Predator Badlands. That should be a no brainer for theaters, if only to see how one of these performs in theaters. Hopefully it's as good as Prey.

AfrAId with a smaller first Friday than Blink Twice's second. 

 

It's up to Speak No Evil now as Blumhouse's last hope at enjoying an actual win in 2024.

Sucks that Alien didn't pull in much of the GA. It's incredible. I feel like it would be a good watch even for horror fans who haven't seen much of the prior films, but I guess it has sort of an assumption that u need to have been watching the other ones 

[emoviefan]

I mean in the end does DOM mean much for Romulus with how well it has done OS.  It's seems to have gotten the OS audience that Twisters did not. Twisters:Romulus would have been the perfect BO organism. 😃

Yeah it's definitely made enough to be a success at least so that's good. I just think it had the potential for more if people had been willing to see it haha

Great hold for Blink Twice. It deserves to be seen! 

[justnumbers]

That's fantastic for Coraline too.

[Eric the Marxist]

That’s weird. I thought Deadpool being so big would help trickle down the money to Reagan. 🤔 

[AniNate]

Looking like about $75mil 3-day weekend overall. Not good but could've been worse. If this is the worst weekend the rest of the year I'll take it.

I mean it;s a typical labor weekend outside of last year when Equalizer 3 opened  over 30 m and in 21 when Shang Chi opened over 90  for the 4 day weekend. Those 2 movies did prove you can open big movies this weekend. 

[cannastop]

Inside Out 2 is probably going to make around $1.2 million Saturday, and probably also on Sunday and Monday. So it will end Labor Day weekend at around $651.4 million DOM, $900,000 away from Jurassic World's total, so it will take another weekend to pass it.

And the fact that it’s getting over $110M+ DOM in its lifetime gross, is very impressive. The highest grossing stop motion animated film in the US, which it already is now.

Jurassic World is actually at $653.4M lifetime DOM gross. That very small re-release it had in 2021, contributed to something.

[Boxofficerules]

lol @ AfrAId. Blumhouse is having a bad year.

[Selma]

It is gonna pass it either way , even with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice 

[DAJK]

Maybe it’s the fact that I’m in Canada, but I’ve literally seen zero advertising for Reagan. If I wasn’t on these forums I wouldn’t know it exists. 9M for the long weekend seems almost… good? If it had a “real” distributor and an ounce of marketing, I feel like that could have done pretty well.

Does it have a chance to pass it before wild robot and transformers opening ?
