I mentioned it in the release thread, but I really liked the Accountant. Glad to see it open well.

Bad reviews from critics but audiences liked it. Got an A from Cinescore. On RT, 5.7/10 from critics, 4.2/5 (or 8.4/10) from audiences.

Seeing how much The Magnificent Seven has brought in compared to the budget, would that be considered a bomb?

Probably not an outright bomb, but a disappointment? Looks like it only made another $63 million internationally so far.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/...icentseven.htm

That's got to be a big disappointment. Could this be the first Pratt bomb since his rise to fame? Curious if Passengers will be a bigger disappointment than this.

Certainly possible since it opens only 5 days after Rogue One. It's going to need great reviews to sustain a lengthy theatrical run.

Thanks for posting that, TheMovieman!

Weekend Actuals, mostly for the fact that #2 and #3 swapped vs estimated and the addition of Shin Godzilla, which had a very impressive haul. Desierto is directed by Jonás Cuarón, Alfonso's eldest son.

Birth of a Nation sinking badly.

Could say the same thing with Deepwater Horizon looking at that budget.

Deepwater Horizon is an awful awful title.

It's the name of the actual oil platform, seems well suited just didn't seem like a high in demand subject

October 21st - 23rd, 2016 Estimates, where a Madea movie wins the weekend and has Lionsgates second biggest opening of 2016.

The local Fox station has two movie reviewers. One's white while the other is African American, who tends to give a slight bias towards movies made by/starring African Americans. Not this time. He gave the Madea movie a 0/5 score.

I actually want to check out Ouija: Origin of Evil for no other reason than the fact that Mike Flanagan wrote and directed it. Absentia was good, and both Oculus and Hush were kind of great. It's possible Ouija won't follow that trend, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

For a horror movie, and sequel no less, not a bad drop for Ouija 2.

Miss Peregrine over $240 million worldwide. Not too shabby.

When you compare it to Boo, though...ouch.

Looks like 7 may not hit $100M domestic either..

Comedies normally hold up better and it opened much larger. A horror movie dropping less than 50% is generally kinda impressive, even when it had a less than stellar opening.

The last Madea film, A Madea Christmas, made $53 million total. The one before that opened at $25.7 million. This movie has already hit $55.2 million and dropped less than 40%. That's better than just about any Madea film made and stayed #1 for two weeks in a row, something that the last two did not do. So no, Madea films do NOT hold up well. Ouija opened to 3,167 theaters. Madea opened to 2,260 and was ONLY expect to open at $15 million. Again, nice try. Madea is MUCH more impressive. Ouija this past weekend had literally about 1,000 more theaters and Madea beat it down.

Inferno has essentially made it's money back with Worldwide Box office.

But, that's quite a lackluster start for it's U.S. run. It may not even make $60M domestic with that low a start.

Maybe it's just been too long since the last move. 7 years since the last sequel is a really long time.

Not saying it wasn't, was saying it wasn't more of an ouch for ouija because there is no comparison between the two genres. No doubt Ouija isn't doing great, even for a $6m budgeted flick, but it dropped a respectable amount. Boo! Is having an inexplicably excellent run, the two just aren't comparable since comedies and horror flicks generally perform differently.

I am curious to see if Boo gets hit with the same post-holiday drop that a lot of Halloween themed movies run into.

Edit: actually now that I think of it, Ouija was the only actual horror movie out this Halloween and it had two weekends to itself. It really is doing quite poorly considering, not surprising though considering its the sequel to a poorly received movie.
I think that it's more novel's are just completely out of fashion now and it also isn't the entry any remaining fans wanted to see.

Strange seems to be aiming for $82m now. The tracking was all over the place on it, with a ceiling of $75m originally.

$32 - $33m Friday (Including Thursday previews of $9.4m) and an A cinemascore.

Trolls is looking like $42.4m for the weekend, A cinemascore

Hacksaw Ridge is looking at $14.7m for the weekend, also an A cinemascore
