Passengers | Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence | Dec 21, 2016 | Trailer pg 70

[filmlover]

I'm not gonna lie, the bad reviews for both this and Collateral Beauty have me more interested in seeing them now than before. Middling reviews would've been one thing, but we're talking Razzie-level here. Woof.

Look at the multipliers dive -- only six years apart. Probably worth knocking 0.3-0.4x off the 2011 ones for 2016. Also, worth considering that PASSENGERS currently doesn't have a critical reception anywhere near any of the 2011 openers.

The trends didn't change though, the second week of the Sunday Christmas openers are usually bigger. If it actually opens with a 42m 5-day, no way with Christmas legs does it barely cross 100m.  At any rate, if reviews actually hurt it that much, it's more likely to do 30m for the five day and end with a 120-125m total.

Likely due to my point in an earlier comment -- there are more options for entertainment, and I feel like it's exploded in the past 5 years

I agree, legs will be better than WrathOfHan suggested. I don't think it has a 42m 5-day, but I think it comfortably passes 100m, though. At this point I'd be wary of anything much beyond that, though.

[franfar]

It could have a $25 million OW, but w/a 4x multiplier, still do $100mm

Holiday legs will help everyone except Miss Sloane. 

 

Interesting that neither Jlaw nor Pratt broke Google's Top 10 Most Searched actors:

It doesn't mean anything in terms of star power. Pitt and Coitllard are #1 and #2 search respectively but Allied boxoffice isn't too hot for an 85M production.

I know, right? 

[filmlover]

The main takeaway from that list is that someone somewhere in the world still cares about Taylor Lautner.

[CoolioD1]

lautner is so forgotten that even his own mum has to google who he is when he comes home for christmas.

Yeah, that's why people have to search them.

 

Well, this is disappointing, I saw enough good tweets I thought it would be more balanced.  Now I guess we find out what it means to box office, next week. 

 

 

[misafeco]

Up to 25%. 

[Ozymandias]

ITS A FLOP!

[RandomCat]

Not sure how bad I should feel, but it's been a long time since I've enjoyed a movie getting poor reviews.

Variety has it tracking for 30-40m 5-day

 

Budget was reportedly 150m, tax credits brought it down to 110m cost.

The quoted numbers in the article don't even add up.  Needless to say, I'm a little dubious, especially given the troubled legal complications with VFX companies. But all we have to go on are the official figures.
