 Re: March 9-11 Pedictions I expect Wrinkle will be number 1 on Friday. But relinquish number 1 on Saturday and Sunday.

Re: March 9-11 Pedictions Pre sales are looking very good for wrinkle. Number 2 on MT with 21% and could overtake BP for top seller this week. Late push paid off.

Re: March 9-11 Pedictions It's looking like all 4 wide openers are going to be rotten. At least there's Thoroughbreds, eh?

Re: March 9-11 Pedictions It's funny how the commercials (and a few fresh reviews) are using Oprah as a selling point for AWIT. She's a detractor for me in any film.

Re: March 9-11 Pedictions Guessing Disney wasn't too fond of the pic of Oprah Kissing Weinstein given she was the star of their social justice warrior movie.

Re: March 9-11 Pedictions I wonder if this means studios will be more cautious in turning young white female leads in the source material into young black female leads in the new film they're releasing. The Annie remake was also a flop.

The Annie remake was also a flop. Annie was not a flop. That film made $86 after only opening to 14 million. it also made 160 million worldwide. And based on pre-sales of A Wrinkle in Time I don't think Disney is too worried.

The Annie remake was also a flop. Oh c'mon. Of all the reasons why A Wrinkle in Time might not become a blockbuster, this isn't even close to being on the list.

Re: March 9-11 Pedictions Looking for The Strangers to surprise a bit this weekend. Some excellent Twitter activity this week.

Re: March 9-11 Pedictions Maybe people think it's a new Purge movie.

Re: March 9-11 Pedictions How much does Wrinkle need in previews? I’d say to hit 40m OW it needs at least 3m previews.

Re: March 9-11 Pedictions Wrinkle is far enough ahead of Black Panther now that it could win the weekend.

Re: March 9-11 Pedictions I have no idea what to expect for Wrinkle's IM. It should see a nice Saturday bump but hard to deny the possible frontload factor. WOM is likely to be poor but the OW impact will be negligible.

Re: March 9-11 Pedictions I think it can match Oz the Great and Powerful's 37% saturday bump. It should see much less front loading than Beauty and the Beast or even Cinderella.

Re: March 9-11 Pedictions No matter what it opens to, Variety's headline will make it sound like a triumph.
