Re: Weekend Numbers (Glass)
Great to see The Upside holding so well. It should make $80-$90m but $100m is still possible considering competition is weak over the coming 2 weeks + President's day weekend could give it a small boost.
Glass is just OK. Obviously on the low end which will ensure it wont outgross Split. Personally I wasnt a fan of Split (though loved Unbreakable). Never felt compelled to see this though. So i can see why it didnt explode.
What is more alarming is that according to BOG:
Quote:
The top ten films grossed an estimated $110.7M over the Friday-to-Sunday span which was down 14% from last year's MLK weekend when Jumanji stayed at number one with $28.1M; and off 7% from 2017's holiday when Hidden Figures held the top spot with $20.9M.
This is both surprising and alarming seeing that Glass was a major opener that should have provided a major boost for the weekend - whereas the previous two years were topped by holdovers.
Things will get worse in February without a Black Panther sized hit but will recover strongly in March onwards.
