Seeing mega breakout for Bad Boys 2. $62M in 2020 with inflation and this feels like it's got a prime release date with little competiton. Going to go with $75M for now.

I am expecting lower opening than BB3. Probably in low 50s.

Forgot the last one opened to 60m+. Wow.

I think anything above 45m would seem solid tbh.

Solid 50-60. Not enough young people interest to be a mega breakout.

I don't think this needs that much young interest to be successful. It's a 29 year old franchise with huge fanbase with 70% of its BB3 OW non-Caucasian.

Also remember that tracking was WAY off on the last film:
83% more than the $40M+ projection that tracking was seeing 1 week earlier for BB3
-46% above the $50M forecast that tracking had for the threequel on Thursday.

Demos for BB3:
-South and the South Central (#1 theater in Atlanta).
-56% male, 58% under 35, largest demo 25-34 at 33%.
-42% African American, 30% Caucasian, 18% Hispanic, and 10% Asian/Other.

This is essentially close to the Fast franchise crowd. Have gotten a fair bit older but 70%+ this weekend could be non-Caucasian.

So far Presales have lagged the last movie. That came after 2 decades from 1st 2 and so there was nostalgia at play. This is coming after 4 years. Last movie released just before pandemic. Will Smith's equity is unfortunately down from that time as well.

I am expecting a good finish and walkups. Still its going to open lower.

I don't think his core demographics care about the Oscar slap anymore TBH. I also think him being so low profile since that time will help from a curiosity factor rather than being as much of a turnoff if it came out in 2022.

Also had some movie breakouts in the previous month and a half from a healthier Christmas slate 1917, Jumanji 2, and SW9 (2 $400M+ movies).

We'll be lucky to get ONE $100M+ film in the two months before BB4's release. Think it's going to break out from a tried and true buddy cop formula.

I will give it to BB3 though that it benefitted from MLK weekend (inflated weekend on Sunday especially) but still feel BB4 has some room to surprise on the upside.

After the slap heard round the world this will be Will Smith's first true test to see if people still want to see him. I think he is still toxic and this will disappoint or flat out bomb.

25 m

This is a bit hard to gauge but probably $60m give or take a few million.

For BO's sake, hope it goes higher.

Watchers should be the biggest horror opener of the year so far - $15m.

That was right before the pandemic too. Great timing.
