I really wanted to see Spectre yesterday but I was too sick to go.

I'll have to check it out this Sunday instead...

"Jem and the Holograms" yanked after 2 weeks

RichC2

Very smart move on their behalf, now they can get it onto VOD platforms while the advertising for the theatrical release is still fresh. Not as fast as Paranormal and Scout's Guide will be, but plenty fast just the same.

However, Jem was the #4 worst opening for over 2,000 screens, not #1.

Oogieloves, Delgo and Saw 10th Anniversary have it beat by a considerable amount.

MGM pushed Hot Tub Time Machine 2 onto VOD platforms seven weeks after it was released in theaters. It was only in theaters for five weeks; two weeks later was available to purchase and rent from every VOD provider... thus why Paramount is trying with their Paranormal Activity and Scout's Guide gamble. Hot Tub Time Machine 2 lost money for Paramount, yet made $40M for MGM with its digital release. Paramount fucked that one up by giving MGM digital rights.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jem and the Holograms ends up on VOD before the end of the month. In a situation like this, it wouldn't create bad blood between Universal and the theater chains due to the film pulling in a whopping PSA of $15 a day before being yanked.

Glad Peanuts made a lot. It was a damn good film and very true to the comics. Glad my childhood favorites didn't get destroyed (Paddington and Peanuts were and are my jam).

RichC2

Since Wednesday was a holiday, Tuesday and Wednesday numbers were way up.

Spectre made $7.3m on Tuesday, $7.9m on Wednesday ($4.3 on Thurs) and stands at $93.5m
Peanuts made $3.05m on Tuesday, $7.77m on Wednesday ($1.5m on Thurs) and stands at $58.3m
The Martian also crossed $200m

Some movie called Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (Bollywood) opened at #5 yesterday with $387k

Spectre is looking at $33m - $35m for the weekend, The Peanuts Movie is looking at $28.7m (though I expect it to do better), The Martian is looking at $6.8m, and Love the COopers is looking at $6m - $8m.

The 33 looks to make between $3.5m and $6m

The Hunger Games franchise has now grossed $1.272B domestically, the highest opening and grossing went to Catching Fire which pulled $158m opening weekend and grossed $424.7m total / domestic.

Domestic seems a little more important this time as Lionsgate appears to have sold most offshore rights to recoup production costs.

Defiant1

One of the very times a $102M opening weekend can be considered somewhat disappointing.

Mondo Kane

fumanstan

Hard to judge because of the holiday, but that's one of the lowest opening weekends for a Pixar movie no?

Edit - reading Box Office Mojo's write up is interesting:

So glad to see Krampus take the top spot, even if it doesn't hold it for the weekend. After the debacle that was Trick r Treat's release (or lack there of) Dougherty deserves this.

The Good Dinosaur didn't look like it held that well at all.

The tracking for Krampus put it at $10 - $13m originally, so I imagine Universal is quite happy with the turnout it had. The advertising budget is reportedly under $10m as well.

Pixar's first Box Office flop. I imagine they'll stick to June releases only from now on.

RichC2

They've done well with November releases in the past, I think Good Dinosaur was destined to flop any way you dish it.

shizawn

Not since 2004 though. And back then, they mostly did November releases, so it was the norm. They did the summer thing and stuck with that for a decade, so people generally associate Pixar movies with the summer. I know I do.

The lack of advertising didn't help. Perhaps Disney just didn't have any confidence in this film.

RichC2

There's just a number of factors working against them on this one, and November is usually a strong release date for animated (Frozen, for instance, was released on November 22nd and grossed $400m domestic / $1.28b ww).

Lacked advertising, lacked a hook, lacked the overwhelmingly positive reviews that usually come with Pixar (this is the lowest aggregate Pixar movie not called Cars, though admittingly, not by much). And the character design isn't up to typical Pixar "We can make a toy out of this!" standards.

I think the movie will have legs moving forward though, especially with school being out in a week, if it can stick around that long. Star Wars will dominate obviously, but it's tough to say counter programming won't work.

DthRdrX

Looks like "In the Heart of the Sea" has bombed with an 11 Million opening weekend.

Box Office was low all around. Very nice $90k/screen avg for The Big Short though.
