It's unfortunate that War Room did so much better than Everest and Sicario.

Jem and the Holograms had the #4 worst opening for a movie in 2000+ theaters (2413 theaters / $547 avg), Rock the Kasbah is #5 on that list (2,012 theaters / $750 avg). August's We Are Your Friends w/ Zac Efron is #6 on that list.

Why So Blu?

Wow, The Visit actually made some money. It's been a while since a M Knight movie has done so.

jacob_b

WOW...We Are Your Friends got saved TWICE by two movies this week. So shocking! Poor Bill Murray

Decker

Man, I was hoping that we might really get another funny Bill Murray film someday, but the commercials for Rock the Kasbah were SO awful, unfunny and basically unwatchable, that this BO result isn't much of a surprise.

BTW : There was a movie called Oogieloves In The BIG Balloon Adventure that opened on over 2000 screens?

RichC2

Yeah: http://forum.dvdtalk.com/movie-talk/...adventure.html , upwards of $60m on production and advertising

fumanstan

Thanks for starting this. I need to adjust to the sticky, my eyes are trained to always skip past them on each forum

auto

No funny WBO titles anymore

RichC2

No problem, my eyes do the same always assume the stickies are either forum rules or advertisements.

Not true, it just means no character limits on future funny WBO naming schemes.

Movie theaters here are empty as can be with a mix of big college football events (Florida-Georgia), Halloween, and perfect weather (sunny, 82 degrees with a cool breeze)

Defiant1

All the new releases really bombed spectacularly.

Ash Ketchum

Who in their right minds, other than the staff members of CNBC and The Huffington Post, would want to see a movie called OUR BRAND IS CRISIS?

P.S. And apparently, they're the only ones who went to see it. What a comedown for Sandra Bullock after GRAVITY and THE HEAT. I guess she and Clooney got overconfident after GRAVITY and figured they could make one for themselves rather than the audience. (Clooney's a producer of OUR BRAND IS CRISIS.) Which is fine as long as you don't release it in theaters.

RichC2

The movie was originally supposed to star Clooney. They knew they had a dud on their hands and released it on an excusable weekend (Halloween fell on a Saturday this year which wrecks B.O. havoc). Truth is another "based on true events" political movie with a great cast that tanked horribly (at least Our Brand Is Crisis looks to have fun with their situation). All that said, these movies all had budgets between $5m and $30m, so while a loss -- it's nothing that they can't bounce back from. Pan dominates as the money loser of the season.

Weekend Estimates (Based on Friday, early Saturday and estimates for Sunday), I did the Top 21 so Jem and the Holograms could join in on the fun:

Gaspar Noé's Love opened on 2 screens and grossed $15k/screen for a $30k total this weekend. I just don't think I'd want to watch 3D porn in a busy theater

Wow the Martian is just chugging along isn't it?

RichC2

The whole space genre has been popular the last few years, even when you discount the big franchises like Star Trek, Alien or Guardians of the Galaxy (Marvel). Gravity made $274m domestically / $723m WW, Interstellar did $188m domestically / $675m WW, and The Martian is about to pass that domestically (Currently $182m), though it has a way to go worldwide (made $428m so far).

Bodes well for some good sci-fi projects moving forward.

jacob_b

Maybe some good ones, but with that, expect a lot of shitty ones as well with studios thinking they can bank on this for a quick buck.

RichC2

The one benefit here is that all 3 movies had legs, none opened huge, which means they actually need to be fairly decent movies to succeed.

Interstellar opening: $47.5m -> $188m domestic
Prometheus opening: $51m -> $126m domestic
The Martian opening: $54.3m -> en route $200m+ domestic
Gravity opening: $55.8m -> $274.1m domestic

I mean, it isn't a fair example since Prometheus is the only R rated one... but I don't think that excuses it from making $60m less considering it had a $51m opening.

Thursday night previews of Spectre drew $5.25M at 3,221 theaters last night, which gives it a giant projected range of $60M - $65M (Sony's projection) all the way to $75M - $80M (Industry projections).

Peanuts opens this weekend and is expected to make between $40M and $45M.

Critically, Spectre has a 63% approval rating on meta review site rottentomatoes.com with a 6.5 / 10.0 average score among critics. Peanuts has an 87% with a 6.9/10 average score.

And The Martian is now Ridley Scott's highest grossing domestic movie with $187.76M, unadjusted mind you.

Opening Weekend for Craig as Bond:

Casino Royale (2006) - $40.8m
Quantum of Solace (2008) - $67.5m
Skyfall (2012) - $88.4m
Spectre - $73m

The Martian, Bridge of Spies, Hotel Translyvania 2, Goosebumps and even The Intern have shown impressive legs. Room looks like another critically acclaimed non-money maker for A24.

I'm curious how Spectre would've preformed on a different weekend. I do think the Thursday night release of Black Ops III ate into potential business as people opted to stay at home to play the game rather than venture to the movies. I know I was almost one of the individuals, but ended up catching an early evening showing last night just to get out of the house.

Why So Blu?

Nevermind that Peanuts opened pretty huge. Parents had to take the kids to the movie, so they will probably check Spectre out at a later time.

RichC2

It's tough to say to be honest, tracking had this at $70m for the last couple weeks, and Skyfall had Bond 50th Anniversary working in it's favor, not to mention a great trailer and free advertising thanks to Adele's opening theme and Olympic skydiving stunts. It even had me anxious to see it in theaters, and I basically never see Bond flicks in theaters.

Matthew Chmiel

I didn't see the first two Craig films in theaters, but what piqued my interest was the team up of Mendes an Deakins. While its not a great film, its definitely a beautiful film (especially in its IMAX presentation).

While I enjoyed Hoytema's cinematography in Spectre, I will agree with the complaints that the colors shouldn't have been as muted as they were.

Artman

Adjusted down to 70m for Spectre... probably 225-230ish domestic, 900m worldwide. Still great, but a little lower than most were hoping I think.
