Re: Early Friday Numbers
Bigger OW for Grinch and harsher drop for BR than I expected.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
Seems like a conservative Friday increase for BR. I see $28-29m.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
Very interesting that Overlord is beating Spider's Web. I guess the good will that Bad Robot / Abrams brings to it is something.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
If Overlord gets over $10M I think Cloverfield Paradox would have too. Should have just called it Cloverlord and raked in another few million.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
Superb number for Grinch. Despite the competition it should do well throughout November and get a second for Christmas. Again - there havnt been many major animated films this year so the marketplace was ready similar to how it worked for TI2 though on a smaller scale.
Solid for BR - don't forget the fanbase did rush out last weekend so this is actually a decent hold.
Very happy that Overlord is a hit. Good number.
Expected for Dragon. Even the first uber hyped film (with a name director and bigger stars) opened to only a few million more. The bad news here is that reviews for this aren't as good and it just won't have the legs.

I think Overlord could have some good legs. Saw it yesterday and it's great.

The Grinch will hopefully go down. Praying for an opening weekend with a 5 in front.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
Good for Grinch. I’m glad it’s doing well. I’ve been a fan of Scott Mosier’s for quite a long time now and I’m glad he finally got to direct his own movie.
And nothing against Claire Foy but it was kind of pointless to do another Salander film with Mara, Craig and Fincher. To do one without them was just mind boggingly stupid.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
If Overlord tops Girl In The Spider's Web even if only a little that would be kind of surprising. I think that just goes to show little interest there is in a sequel to TGWTDT, especially with Fincher and Graig not returning. The first one wasn't that big of a hit anyways at least not domestically.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
I don't really see how it's a surprise Overlord is opening with more than Spider's Web.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
Well, Overlord isn't part of a franchise like Spider's Web is so it doesn't already have an audience to market to, and it could easily be another Iron Sky, with not many people interested in seeing a fictional WW2 movie. I could see how it would be a little bit of a surprise. But glad that Overlord has caught on a bit. Hope it continues. They did not market it very well, in my opinion, so any success it is getting could easily be multiplied.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
I know I'm in the minority but the trailer for Overlord is probably one of the most fun trailers of the year. Love the use of Hell's Bells. It really works in this trailer. I know the trailer is kind of misleading and it's mostly a war movie and the scenes in the trailer are basically only in the last 30 minutes, but it still works for me. Really looking forward to seeing the movie.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
If you enjoyed the trailer than you should definitely enjoy the movie Mike. It is pretty much what you see being sold and more. I know I absolutely loved it and it is easily the most fun I have had watching a film since Fallout. It's just too bad it has such niche appeal because it deserves to be a hit.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
Grinch is up to $18.3M. Bohemian is up to $8.8M. Overlord and Spider about the same.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
Nice drop for Bohemian Rhapsody. Will be interesting to see how far above $150m it goes.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
So many brain cells dying in theaters showing The Grinch this weekend. It’s really a tragedy anyone is going to see this mediocre lowest common denominator appealing made to sell merchandise piece of garbage film.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
Calm down, zwackerm. It's how the market goes, because it's how Average Joe is. Which is valid among kids, too. Illumination does not want to produce classics or good movies (in fact, it has only produced shit so far) that are successful, it just wants to produce cheap products and sell them as well as possible. This is not "animation for kids and adults", it's nothing more and nothing less than animation for young kids, who are even easier to please than adults.
If an animated movie about the Grinch makes 300M in NA, there's nothing odd about it. You're not selling a product to an estimator of Theodor Dreyer, you're selling a product to people whose brain cells are already atrophied before entering the theatre.

And that movie won’t lower kids IQs at the very least.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
If The Grinch follows Peanuts multiple, it would get $68.3 m this weekend.
6 weekends as well pre-Christmas. There's competition but $300 m isn't impossible as it'd need a 4.39 multiplier which isn't totally unrealistic for a family Christmas movie.

Re: Early Friday Numbers
The Front Runner sure did flop in limited release. I was wondering if the weak opening days were because people didn’t realize it was a Tuesday opener- but they did. Can’t imagine it plays any better outside NY either. Is under $1M total possible?

Yeah, going by history, it has a real possibility of getting a multiplier over 4.5. Comparable movies are The Grinch (2000), Elf, The Polar Express and A Christmas Carol (2009), all of which opened early/mid November.
