Grinch will fall more today and increase more Friday, so the two will be neck and neck this weekend.

900k for Green Book is pretty poor.

Fantastic numbers for Ralph and Creed 2. Both should be posting some huge numbers over the next couple of days. Embarrassing as expected for Robin Hood though.

Omg Girl in the Spider's Web might not even hit $15m lolol

That is one of the biggest misfires I can think of. Shame, it's not bad.

Excellent for The Grinch with Ralph over-performing so much.

It's almost an amusing situation. The it's-too-long, it's-too-difficult, it's-too-grim one made 100m, and then they retooled everything to streamline it into a franchise-ready action movie with a the-nukes-are-in-play! plot...and it is going to struggle to 15 million.

Fincher's Dragon Tattoo was pretty good. I would have watched another one and I'm sure enough people would have to justify it. It didn't have to cost $100m again either, that was a ridiculous budget for the type of film it was in the first place.

Robin Hood also cost $100m, it's a massive bomb. Audiences really don't seem to care about films set in medieval times, they've been flopping since the mid 2000s (remember King Arthur and Kingdom of Heaven?).

I feel like every year we get a movie or two trying to capitalize on Game of Thrones’ massive success, but every year audiences say “we just want more Game Of Thrones.”

I think so too. A true follow-up never would have bombed like this.

Was the Daniel Craig film that much of a hit? From what I remember it barely broke even, hence why they never made a sequel. This cost almost 90 million less. And what it'll do 110 WW on a 42 million budget. It's smaller in scale but the dividends are really not that much different.

It's at 27m WW right now...

If the brand has a future outside novels, Netflix or Amazon should develop a Lisbeth Salander series. I could imagine a successful television series based on the character. One mystery per season. Perhaps newly developed mysteries using the elements people most associate with the character--serial murders, cold-case mysteries, sexual deviants, right-wing/"men's-rights"-obsessed extremists--instead of Spider's Web's Mission: Impossible-style MacGuffin.

Maybe this is based off mission impossible, but the movie doesn’t feel like the nukes are in play.

For all the blockbuster brands, Robin Hood and King Arthur didn’t do well. You could add Peter Pan; maybe they are too old.

The 1991 version was a huge hit and the 2010 version (though unnecessary) didn't do too badly. There was just no need for another.

But Tarzan did do well. Go figure
