My Little Pony has outgrossed a bunch of higher profile movies this year, that amuses me a little, but not bad for a "Same Day As Theaters" VOD release.

TheMovieman

Pretty amazing for Daddy's Home 2. Critics hated it but according to Cinemascore, audiences liked it (A- grade).

Defiant1

That's a really good result for Orient Express too. Usually adult-oriented movies with middling reviews get similar B.O., but I guess the all-star cast and Agatha Christie association got butts in the seats. My matinee screening was sold out today.

Justice League has rounded down to $93.3m estimate for the weekend after a $38.4m Friday (including $13m Thursday).
Wonder has rounded up to $27.4m estimate for the weekend (initial estimates were under $14m).

I like to round to the closest weird number that has nothing to do with anything apparently.

The fan response to JL makes me think it will still cross $100m by a decent margin this weekend.

Lady Bird has quietly climbed to #8 with $2.4m on 238 screens.

1.) Justice League (WB), 4,051 theaters / $38.4M Fri. (includes $13M previews) / 3-day cume: $93.5M / Wk 1

2.) Wonder (WB), 3,096 theaters / $9.4M Fri. (includes $740K previews) / 3-day cume: $27.3M / Wk 1

3). Thor: Ragnarok (DIS), 4,080 theaters / $5.9M Fri. (-69%) / 3-day cume: $21M (-68%) / Total cume: $246.6M / Wk 3

4.) Murder on the Orient Express (FOX), 3,354 theaters (+13)/ $4M Fri. (-63%) / 3-day cume: $14.3M (-50%)/Total: $52.2M/ Wk 2

5.) Daddy’s Home 2 (PAR), 3,575 theaters (0) / $3.9M Fri. (-64%) / 3-day cume: $13.5M (-54%)/ Total: $49.3M/Wk 2

6.)The Star (SONY), 2,837 theaters / $2.7M Fri. (studio did not report previews) / 3-day cume: $9.1M / Wk 1

So JL will be a bonafide critical and box office failure. No way they can make back the amount of cash they’ve dumped into this thing. Hopefully they’ll halt all DC projects and fire everyone making the decisions on the DCU slate and reboot it correctly and not have WB execs calling the shots on these movies.

RichC2

Critical for sure, box office is just most likely at this point. It has a little under a month to pull in whatever it can.

Why So Blu?

I will say that Wonder will be a box office hit. We are backlogged with that book at the library -- all the youngsters have been wanting to read it. I guess it's about a kid with a disfigurement? Don't know why WB would release it to compete with its own film. I they trying to pad the losses from JL?

RichC2

Wonder is Lionsgate and it's a good position to take advantage of the Thanksgiving holiday

Why So Blu?

Is it Lionsgate? Someone needs to correct that above. It says WB.

Ash Ketchum

"Wonder"? Is that the Woody Allen film or the Todd Haynes one? Or the one with that female superhero?

OldBoy

it's about disfigured young boy with Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson. maybe for roughly $20 mil and will make almost $30 this weekend. amazing!

RichC2

Deadline fucked up and I'm too lazy to edit it heh

fumanstan

It's crazy to me that Justice League, what should be DC's "Avengers" in hype and excitement, may not crack $100 million in it's opening weekend. I would have at least thought the critical and public success of Wonder Woman would have helped give it a bigger push, especially since the critically ravaged Suicide Squad and Batman V Superman still had big openings from fans.

Why So Blu?

The Todd Haynes one is Wonderstruck -- from the writer of Hugo. I think the author also wrote the screenplay for it. I hear good things about the film.

Ash Ketchum

Ummm, just making a joke about all the movies with "Wonder" in the title coming out at the same time and how audiences must be getting confused.

Maybe now's the time to reissue this one:

And to think, I got chided for suggesting this would limp across $100m this weekend. It didn't even meet the lowest of expectations.

E Unit

Geez, will it even crack $300 mil cumulative?

Ash Ketchum

According to the standard equation of budget/gross/profit used for these things, JUSTICE LEAGUE will have to hit $625 million just to break even, although I suspect that old formula (two-and-a-half times a film's budget) is outdated, given the huge global marketing costs today. Three times its budget seems more likely, although that may be offset by a reduction in print costs since it now goes out digitally.

Still, my guess for break-even would be $750 million.

DthRdrX

It will get a boost with a long holiday weekend next week, but many reports are saying it's going to have to have serious legs to get where WB expected. I just don't see that happening when December rolls around and Star Wars mania hits.

Here's a quote from the NY Times' report on JL's boxoffice take this weekend:

In what universe are those four considered "some of the world's most popular stars"? I don't even know who Jason Momoa IS!

TomOpus

He was in an indie movie called The Bad Batch that was discussed on here. He was also in another small film called Batman v Superman that was discussed on here and he's starring in another small movie called Aquaman, that's being discussed on here.

stingermck

And some small show called Game of Thrones

RichC2

Pfft. some Baywatch fan Ash is.

Ash Ketchum

Just because you've heard of him doesn't make him one of "the world's most popular stars," does it?

Hell, I'm even disputing Ben Affleck's status in that line.
