Ryan C Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 1 minute ago, AniNate said: TFOne (and subsequently Wild Robot) did move a week back because they decided Beetlejuice might be competition, that was probably a wise decision. But all three of the movies still have distinct tones which should help them find niches through October and November. Beetlejuice I'm sure ought to still be playing well through Halloween especially since the holiday plays a major thematic role in the movie itself. That's true, but I also wouldn't be surprised to expect some overlap between the movies. Though I think that's more the case with Transformers One than The Wild Robot as that one is skewing towards nostalgic adults/young kids (like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) and will be the movie to take all of the PLFs away from Beetlejuice in its third weekend. We'll see, but at the end of the day, I think all of us are hoping that The Wild Robot and Transformers One open well, don't cannabalize each other, and that Beetlejuice Beetlejuice continues to put up strong holds even without the PLF screens.

Gokai Red Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 It's crazy that you guys mention the Catching Fire opening weekend because that was my first big weekend on this forum. I remember I found the forum a month or two before looking up predictions for that movie, and I stumbled upon this lovely site (by the way, the prediction was 167/390, which was pretty close to how things ended up). Can't believe that was almost 11 years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattage Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 1 hour ago, Bob Train said: They tried getting Ant Man 3 over 2 with GOTG3 double features. It didn't work then but IO2 is closer to JW so it might work here. Depending on how this weekend and next weekend goes it would be really easy like you said it'd be really close. I just know they usually do the double features with movies that are already in theaters, Ant-Man was still in some theaters when they did the double features. Does that often happen with something they re-release into theaters? I'm just expecting Inside Out to be out of theaters entirely by Thanksgiving that's why I was wondering if they'd do it.

AniNate Posted September 8 Author Share Posted September 8 Most drive ins in the country only operate during warm weather seasons so I wouldn't anticipate much of an inside out 2 bump with Moana. It'll probably be on D+ by that time anyway. Disney wasn't that concerned about getting elemental over the $500 million mark so I doubt they feel much different about IO2 over Jurassic.

Could go higher than Charlie's number.

Spidey Freak Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 7 hours ago, grumpythepenguin said: Depends on how keen she is to promote a project. I imagine Lionsgate would've wanted to do a bigger release for Miller's Girl in theatres earlier this year but she didn't want to promote it. I think she attended the premiere but otherwise didn't make any posts on social media about its theatrical release or streaming release. She left it to Martin Freeman to do interviews/press, etc. and it ended up only doing $321,000 on 350 screens. People who have seen Miller's Girl know why she didn't want anything to do with that movie. In fact it's a headscratcher why her agent convinced/let her do it in the first place.

wildphantom Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Let’s not get carried away with $350 million plus just yet. Sure it’s had an amazing Saturday increase, but next weekend will tell us if it’s going over $300 million, nevermind the $350 million mark. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW came out in 2015, that is almost 10 years ago in different decade. Back in 2000s and 2010s, young star were utilised to kick off some fresh franchise like HP, twilight, HG, Transfomer but now Hollywood mostly use them to revive lure young audience into old or legacy IP. Time change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
