Honestly, I'm not sure if the audience is there for this movie.

It just sort of feels like a remake that nobody is asking for, plus Westerns seem to be a hard sell nowadays.

 

IDK, I hope I'll see the appeal as it moves forward because right now I really don't (despite liking the talent involved).

I agree it's an unnecessary remake of a remake but Denzel alone probably guarantees a $30m+ opening.

The huge success of American Sniper was likely a factor why MGM and Sony have opted for January for Magnificent 7

^^^

 

Book of Eli and Safe House also did well in the January-February periods, so maybe it's more that Denzel has shown he can sell a project during any time of the year.

 

$48.5 million/$60 million 4 day

 

$145 million DOM total

Don't forget The Equalizer, that did $35m OW and that was in September.
