I reported on BOT last night that my theater did 55% of Conjuring 2, which is $1.87M. nice lobogotti Aug 26, 07:36

Has a great shot at $20m+ this weekend with that - outstanding! {nm} RollingThunder Aug 26, 07:38

Yeah, should be a pretty safe long at current price but may end up with less than $20 million. {nm} diamondman56 Aug 26, 07:38

Last weekend in August and the R-rating were the only reasons I predicted under $20m. Otherwise, signs were there for a strong opening. {nm} RollingThunder Aug 26, 07:40

I'll be curious to see what it gets as a Cinemascore. There's at least one moment that might turn people off. {nm} diamondman56 Aug 26, 07:42

I don't see how it opens under $20M. Conjuring 2 and Lights Out had 12x their Thursday and school was even out. lobogotti Aug 26, 07:49

What are the best comps for this? {nm} goodvibe61 Aug 26, 07:51

I think Lights Out is the most solid. opened 6 weeks ago to $1.8M {nm} lobogotti Aug 26, 07:53

It's late August when a lot of people go places on the weekend instead of watching movies. diamondman56 Aug 26, 09:03

That said, late August has also seen a number of horror franchises launch well (Final Destination, Jeepers Creepers). {nm} second gary Aug 26, 09:54

Final Destination didn't launch in August... The Final Destination was actually the fourth movie in the series. diamondman56 Aug 26, 09:58

I'm hoping it will challenge $25m. That said, an original (non remake or installment) R-rated horror hasn't hit that mark in late Aug. yet. {nm} RollingThunder Aug 26, 10:01

Yes, that's right. {nm} second gary Aug 26, 10:41
