$3.85m

Deadline article isn't saying if this includes all the sneaks from Saturday/Monday. If it doesn't seems like a decent #.

seems good for tuesday

Reviews and audience reaction so far seem very positive. This feels like it could start slow and then build up interest over the next few weeks. Burned by a lot of mixed turtle movies.

In other news, Barbie has surpassed Spiderverse and is now #1 movie of the summer after just 12 days. Made $15,250,000 (-41%) for $381,672,042 total.

Ouch at Elemental down over 50% from last week. Makes sense, playing like one showing at a lot of theaters near me. Guess it'll settle in the 150s.

Overall OD was $10.2m. Seems solid, as there isn't much for children coming up think this could play for awhile.

They are still sitting on 2.2m from early gross. I wonder if they will club it together with Friday like studio did it for MI7. Its looking at hefty drop today. Unless they pump its weekend up, its not beating Oppy for sure.

$3.2m for Meg 2. Seems ok?

That should lead to 25-30m OW so about expected.

Meg 2 - 12m
TMNT - 9.3m (apparantly Paramount added the early sneaks to this #...)

WB is saying $17mil for Barbie yesterday damnnn. $55mil wknd incoming

Hmm, a bit underwhelming for Barbie. I expected at 60m+ with a 35%-drop. It has absolutely great WOM and no competition, so I expected something between 60-63m. But maybe actuals will be higher....

Its weekdays have been great and burning through a lot of demand, a drop in the 40s is still great.

Decent for Meg but its still a flop with its $185M budget. Maybe, if they do adapt Primal Waters, they should spread that budget throughout the film instead of saving it all for the end.

Oppy having a better drop than Barbs shows the power of imax.

Overall thanks to Barbemheimer another really solid weekend.

Talk to Me heading for top 5 A24 films wow

185 million? I know The Meg would’ve made money with that budget, but there had to be some foresight that down was more likely than up here.

I don't know where that $185 million went. It looks like absolute shit.

Some kids have gone back to school so Saturday Increases will start getting bigger.

Barbie will drop under 40%

The budget is $129M...

The last one did almost 400m overseas. How’s the international looking?

Yes, the TDK/Barbie weekday comparison for this 3rd week shows mid to high 50s. $55-56m sounds right to me.

I think a lot of budgets got OKed a few years ago under the assumption that the China money train would never slow for Hollywood, although in this case they at least had co-financing with China so they might get more of a cut of that money at least.

Also budgets ballooned during the pandemic years. Remember, a lot of these productions date back to that time period. One of the reasons Sound of Freedom was so cheap was because it was made prior to the pandemic.

Pretty good weekend with Barbie at 53 and three other movies around 30 mil range.

Looks pretty good

It's a tofu dreg movie.

A large part of the production budget would have been siphoned off to elites or bribes, and a fraction was actually spent on the production. So they make it on the cheap but still report the high budget.
