Gnomes - $20m - I remember the first one took us by surprise, and we haven’t had a film for young children since Peter Rabbit/Early Man Pacific Rim 2 - $12.5m - I have a thread about this |

Gnomes are not breaking out though I do see them doing high-teens Pacific Rim looks like a non-event though I think it has a slight chance of $20m opening. Mignight Sun - $8m Paul, Apostle of Christ- $9m |

Paul, Apostle of Christ is this Spring's The Young Messiah. I Can Only Imagine breaking out big time kills this one. That movie will expand and should hold really, really well. I'm expecting a leggy run. Won't be much audience left for Paul. Sherlock has fairly funny trailers and there hasn't been an animated film in quite some time. This is opening at the right time just like the first did. A lot of bombs coming this weekend. PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING - 20.18 MILLION SHERLOCK GNOMES - 20.088 MILLION MIDNIGHT SUN - 4.072 MILLION PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST - 3.825 MILLION UNSANE - 3 MILLION ISLE OF DOGS - 1.215 MILLION ($50,000 theater average) |

Paul, Apostle of Christ will also suffer for being an actual Biblical movie. In a type of diet-Cecil B. DeMille sand-and-sandals way. Excepting The Passion of the Christ as an anomalous cultural phenomenon, modern Evangelical audiences seems much more drawn to contemporary melodramas overlaid with right-wing sermonizing and Cracker Barrel folksiness (the God's Not Dead formula). |

True. Risen did decent. That would have been great for Paul but no way it comes anywhere near that film. |

Really hoping Uprising bombs and grosses less than half of the original. |

I actually thought it would be another Risen. |

1. PR2 2. BP |

| Post subject: | Re: March 23-25 Predictions |
Didn't realize that with a sub-30% drop for BP will still not be enough to top $20m. Either Gnomes or PR2 should get past $20m so I guess 6 weekends is not happening for BP. |

5 is enough. 6 weeks no longer proves how huge BP has been but rather highlights the poor state of the March box office. |

Pacific Rim has a predictably meh 41 on meta, but that 67% on rotten is surprising. If anyone on the fence was waiting for reviews that should be good enough. |

Yes I am happy too no need to expose the already pathetic March this year. Black Panther breaking out helped March otherwise it would have been a dismal month though it also gives chance for smaller movies to shine. |

Everyone was just in overdrive on the BP-train. Ava would have had her big hit. Tomb Raider would've opened 50% higher. Game Night would have got a larger following. Instead of it all going to one film, it would have been spread (maybe not all of it, but enough to not make March seem so pathetic). People still want to attend the cinema. |

Not bad considering all the factors against it, its still going to loose a lot of audience and I don't think 67% is good enough to change minds though I agree people on the fence might be interested to check it out. |
