Birds of Prey - 4m

Hm... kinda weak. Sigh.

Hopefully it's not too frontloaded, otherwise this isn't hitting 40m. The lateness of everything (both trailers, ticket sales) certainly didn't help.

I think it'll have a good drop next weekend though.

The goal for me is still Shazam domestic. We'll see if it can have good word of mouth.

That's weak number specially with current state of BO though it should cross $40m with this number right?

Typically similar films have an 8-9 multiplier off the preview. So... $32-36 mil OW.

We'll see though. Not a lot of R rated, female led films to compare to.

It is very good they kept the budget low.

Suicide Squad's preview to opening would be a $26m opening... not happening but that seems like absolute worse scenario.

Wow I never expected this one to flop. Sure there were a lot of things going against it, but this is a Harley Quinn movie that came out right after the Joker movie blew up pop culture. WB fucked up big.

Not a good start at all for BOP. It would be really disappointing if it missed $40M and an utter disaster if it missed $30M. Great thing they kept the budget for this so low.

I honestly can't remember the last time I was this bummed about a movies box office.

With Valentine's Day and holiday weekend I really can't see Birds doing so low next weekend but these films are usually frontloaded so idk... hopefully the female audience freaking supports this. Deadline article said last night's audience was 58% male.

Deadline early estimates is saying 12.6m friday and 33.5m OW. :-(

Bleh. Was hoping true Friday would be 10m.

Dark Phoenix had an embarrassing opening... and this might barely match THAT?! un-fucking-real.

Unfortunately this never attracted the largest segment of the market for comic book films and that is males. Appeal was limited.

It might be saved by legs and a good second weekend but it may barely do better than Alita yikes.

And Sonic will likely beat it in overall gross.

I hate when people think that non MCU blockbusters fail cause they don’t have the quality. BOP is disappointing for every reason not to do with the quality of film.


Aquaman wasn’t exactly a great movie either. And well Suicide Squad opened well.

There’s room for the audience to expand, but it’s hard to say I’d the factors that hurt it opening weekend will continue to drag it down. Odds are legs are not that special. Have to see how audience reaction compares to critics.

Lol I knew it. I predicted high 30s OW but this is going to come even lower which is a mess.

Not surprising after seeing an empty theater. Really bad timing tbh.

Joker will likely dominate the watercooler with the Oscars. Harley Quinn just felt better as a summer movie farther away. I do think legs could be decent.

Yeah this could have used more space from Joker. This movie needed an opportunity to set itself apart. Joker’s success didn’t translate being a different sort of movie.
