THE BUZZ

 

Lager Pictures has chosen to run a bit of an odd marketing strategy when it comes to their summer tentpole Berserk part 1 as instead of a traditional super bowl spot they ran 3 different teasers on 3 college football quarter finals played on January 1st ( Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl, and Sugar Bowl.) while the teasers seem to be well received on YouTube. It seems to have angered conservatives on social media who have complained about the footage shown being " too violent"

Very good for Room 131! It did around $20M - $21M for the three day which puts in in the same range as the previous 3. I am hoping for better legs and a $60M+ finish. 

[YM!]

Valkyries did pretty well also, likely a similar 3 day as Medusa, although I imagine the former definitely blew up on Valentine’s Day vs Valkyries due to four day (85m for Valkyries vs 100m for Medusa).

[YM!]

February 6th-8th: $49,445,124 (-7.2% LY)

February 13th-16th: $145,826,560 (+41.7% LY)

A lot of steep drops for an uneventful weekend (Feb 27th TBC) where you’d usually see good holds, especially for films like Valkyries that would bring in families who haven’t seen it yet and Hollis Brown that would bring in old folks who generally aren’t in a rush to see something on opening weekend. Eastwood films typically have pretty good legs regardless of how high they open. Even 15:17 to Paris, which also opened in February with pretty bad reviews, still managed a nearly 3x multi and never dropped as hard in all of its weekends that it played in 1k theaters+ as hard as Brown did in its second weekend. And I have a really hard time believing audience WOM for that particular film would be rancid enough to manage an over 70 percent drop on its second weekend, especially when pretty much everyone in the predictions thread was estimating good legs for it. Gotta be honest and say this seems like way too much of an over-correction from the previous weekend.

It was done to even out the the screw ups the previous week. As for why room 131 had a small drop in weekend 2: the logic there was that the poison and wine series seems like one that built up a cult following over the years in game. So alot of that came from people rewatching it

In that case, you should've adjusted accordingly before even posting that weekend in the first place. Having a follow-up weekend with only one sub-ten million opener where everything else has abnormally large drops on a relatively quiet late winter weekend makes things look extremely wonky and completely goes against how things normally play out irl. I'm not saying every film in the Top 10 needs to drop below 30 or 20 percent, but there still needs to be some logical consistency to these drops. In Room 131's case, I'd still call that second week hold ludicrous simply because fan-driven franchises like Poison and Wine are almost always frontloaded, even with good reception, and usually experience somewhat of a sizeable drop, but that's beside my original point.

 

Getting back on track, your response doesn't even address the drops for the two films that I pointed out in my original post. Why did a decently reviewed movie from Clint Eastwood, whose films usually hold pretty well because they attract older audiences that don't usually go see films right away, drop more than 70 percent in its second weekend (on a very uneventful weekend, mind you) from an already fairly modest opening? To a lesser extent, why would Valkyries drop close to 60 percent in a weekend with no new openers taking away its PLFs or directly competing for its audience? I suppose A Ghost Tail kind of feeds into some of its audience, but enough to make it drop nearly 60 percent? 

 

Honestly, it's probably good thing I'm addressing this early on in the year before we get further on, but this is the kind of stuff you gotta think about beforehand when you're doing Actuals, speaking from my own experience here. It's a lot of checking, double-checking, and triple-checking to make sure everything looks sound before you even hit send on the post. Sure, you'll make a mistake here and there (pretty much everyone who's done it will agree with that), but it's important to catch those beforehand and avoid having others point it out for you, because believe me, your numbers are almost always going to come under scrutiny from others in the game. 

 

Genuinely, I'm not trying to be an asshole here, and at the end of the day, you're the one hosting so everything that happens is a hundred percent your call. I'm just trying to offer you my perspective here, and you can take it or leave it if as you wish.

[Hiccup23]

Now now, we can talk about the drops but Room 131 doesn’t need to be catching strays 😂 

 

Imo, no film should have dropped more than 50% that last weekend of February.
