Ready or Not 2 is going to get absolutely crushed by Project Hail Mary this week.

I plan to see both, but it dumb to schedule that movie to compete this week, unless they really thought they were offering counter entertainment to horror fans.

I still have 4 movie credits with Cinemark, think I will see both, probably PHM first on Saturday and then Ready or Not 2 Sunday or Monday.

That is, quite literally, exactly what I posted above a couple of days ago .

Ready or Not 2 is gonna get destroyed by Project Hail Mary

PHM pulled $11m+ in previews which doesn't say a ton since there have been numerous previews - but it's very promising. Looking at a $60m+ opening weekend.

Ready or Not 2 did $1m in previews, should pull about $11m this weekend.

Hoppers crossed $100m domestic yesterday. It will likely have a minimal drop this weekend.

$71M is the projection now for PHM.

Up to $77m+ now

Excellent opening for PHM, good hold for Hoppers, middling showing for Ready or Not 2.

The first and most recent posts in this thread are both about hit adaptations of Andy Weir space novels.

This was the second biggest non-franchise opening ever, after Oppenheimer $82M opening.

I saw Ready or Not 2 yesterday and my afternoon showing was moderately filled. I'm sure the vast majority went to see Project Hail Mary.

Disney would have been better off holding it until later this summer when big releases start drying up.

Yeah, not sure why they wouldn't open it until August or even October near Halloween...

They released Haunted Mansion in August in a very packed Summer schedule. I don't think Disney is the brightest with release dates when it comes to spooky fair.

It's pretty remarkable how close PHM is to Dune 2 with it's release date and box office domestically. They've been close to tied daily through this first week, and 46m would match Dune 2's second wknd. Mario may take a big chunk next wk, so I'd say a 275m finish for PHM, 500m worldwide.

PHM actually pulled ahead of Dune 2, it's expected to pull about $53m this weekend, about a 34% drop. Dune 2 was down 44% to $46m

PHM absolutely crushed it this weekend.

2nd lowest 2nd week drop for an original IP ever. Nuts

They will kill you is missing on that chart. It made $5M

^ Doesn't help it looked similar to Ready or Not.

updated chart:


I do hope They Will Kill You flopping isn't too negative on Zazie Beetz prospects, big fan of hers.

Excellent opening for Mario with $190m five day. Stellar hold for Project Hail Mary despite the competition.

I have a feeling that They Will Kill You and Ready of Not 2 will have more of a cult following and do decent in other platforms. Just too much competition right now. Smaller movies like them are getting unnoticed. I’m on Threads and most I see there talk Project Hail Mary and Mario.

My current Threads algo is currently blowing up about The Drama

Yeah I think $14m is actually quite a bit higher than originally predicted. A24s 3rd biggest opening after Civil War and Marty Supreme.

Great holds for Mario, PHM and The Drama

^ Helped undoubtedly by the fact that there was nothing new in theaters of note.
