$100M is back in play with that kinda hold - 2 ORIGINAL comedy summer sleepers, cheap to make and highly profitable

Posted by: TwoMisfits (a.k.a del_SCA_TwoMisfits) on Aug 13, 05:57 in response to JDolphin's post gotta wonder if that Bad Moms hold is correct, but...

Maybe in 2 years (since next summer is set), Hollywood might listen and keep giving us some good, cheap, original summer fun:)...

3 if you count Central Intelligence, but I wouldn't put that in sleeper territory...but it's another money-making original:)...

When the summer ends, it will be interesting to see what movies made money this year (with a quick and dirty 3x production costs compared to international gross)...

DL (9:45pm): SAUSG 13.25 / 32; PDRGN ? / 21.8; FLORN ? / 6.1 dpemlin Aug 12, 21:54

Actually, should be 32+ for SAUSG {nm} dpemlin Aug 12, 21:57

full chart has been posted...some nice holds...whoa {nm} tealfan Aug 12, 22:31

gotta wonder if that Bad Moms hold is correct, but regardless it's will pass the 2.7 delist multiplier with a week to go {nm} JDolphin Aug 13, 00:00

It's possible. Massive heat wave on the East Coast. Going to the movies and AC probably looks good right now. {nm} diamondman56 Aug 13, 03:55

But apparently, not even AC will get people into Suicide Squad after last weekend... {nm} diamondman56 Aug 13, 03:56

And then there's SUICD hold (or lack of) - YIKES! {nm} JDolphin Aug 13, 00:03

Yes; and with those holds, I think BORN5 and TREK3 both have a renewed shot at 156M and #5. {nm} second gary Aug 13, 03:47

Go BORN5!!!! {nm} diamondman56 Aug 13, 03:55

If the final order is NEMO2-CAPA3-PETS-SUICD-TREK3, then 17 players will win with 6 points. But if it's BORN5 in fifth. . . second gary Aug 13, 05:02

wow, there's the holds you were looking for islander. might be a photo finish! I'm rooting for the Trek3 win, lobogotti Aug 13, 05:09

Nice call on SAUSG btw. {nm} second gary Aug 13, 05:15

thank you sir, but I'm still disappointed in the weekend take after that midnight. lobogotti Aug 13, 06:53

Reminiscent of the "South Park" movie. second gary Aug 13, 07:52

it must be great to do something you love and have passion for. I envy you good man. lobogotti Aug 14, 10:14

Pets only dropping 19% on another weekend with a kid movie - that's also a crazy hold... TwoMisfits Aug 13, 06:04

Pets is ferocious, good job standing behind it. Moms too. Hoping that film can pass $100M. I liked it for $110, but not gonna get there. {nm} lobogotti Aug 13, 06:56

If the DL-reported hold proves true, I think 100M is settled. WEMIL did around 40M after Labour Day. {nm} second gary Aug 13, 07:54

In its third week, BORN5 is looking to be behind TREK3 by only $12 million, which shouldn't be hard to make in its fourth week. diamondman56 Aug 13, 06:03

The game doesn't stop until the contenders are out of theatres. {nm} second gary Aug 13, 07:48

or we reach a point of dwindling pace and insurmountable gaps...which could be beyond Labor Day if this keeps up! {nm} tealfan Aug 13, 09:32

BuenaOnda and Joeoftexas would be excluded in tiebreaker because they would only have 3 in the top 5 {nm} JDolphin Aug 13, 14:40

Yes, I see. {nm} second gary Aug 13, 16:09

I think someone has been saying there was a lot of summer left to play... TwoMisfits Aug 13, 06:09

nine lives {nm} TwoMisfits Aug 13, 06:10

Ignore the nine lives post - I think ghosts posted it for me (since I was on another website typing it:)... {nm} TwoMisfits Aug 13, 06:25

Update: SAUSG 13.25 / 32.3, PDRGN 7.3 / 21.8, FLORN 2 / 6.1 {nm} dpemlin Aug 12, 22:40

Further Update (from the above link): SAUSG $32.7m; PDRGN $20.8m; FLORN $6.1m (still) {nm} tomcat90 Aug 13, 08:49
