KILLERS is "supposed to" have a traditional theatrical release (Par is just getting a distribution fee) Jan 04, 12:00
Rest I'm iffy on more than one week runs, but clearly Apple needs to do something different than Luck on Spellbound at least. Jan 04, 12:08
What's your definition of studio? # of theatrical rek {nm} Jan 04, 13:10
releases? They're a studio by the amount of production money spent on films. {nm} Jan 04, 13:11
He was like their 4th choice {nm} Jan 04, 12:32
I’m convinced Spirited would have done $100m+ with a proper theatrical release. {nm} Jan 04, 12:45

Variety: M3GAN 17-20M, AV2 30-35M Jan 04, 11:02
I dont see tracking anymore but that seems crazy low on M3GAN given the social engagement {nm} Jan 04, 11:29
17 comes fom Universal. {nm} Jan 04, 11:32
wouldnt be the first time a studio tried to be conservative with box office forecasts and the trades {nm} Jan 04, 11:34
Deadline had the same numbers Jan 04, 11:34
Tracking is low 20s and studio est is 17M I assume from those 2 articles {nm} Jan 04, 11:36
its also at 97% at RT with 34 reviews in, thats enormous for a horror film {nm} Jan 04, 12:41
No way this opens at 17M. Something in the mid 20s seems likely (and the capacity to go to 30 with good WOM) {nm} Jan 04, 12:45
M3GAN not ****ing around with critics. 98% with 42 reviews in {nm} Jan 04, 17:30
I cant remember the last PG13 horror film to go this high. QUIET PLACE? {nm} Jan 04, 17:31
I’m in agreement that the tracking is too conservative on this one. It looks good. {nm} Jan 04, 19:09
M3GAN is at....96% positive with 24 reviews in, won't stay that high, but should be in the 80's I'd imagine. Jan 04, 10:35
Up to 98% with 40 reviews... I'm kind of surprised because I was getting a weird vibe from last night's NYC press screening Jan 04, 14:35

How much would have Netflix lost from subscribers who signed up in Dec for KNIV2 plus Jan 03, 14:59
how does any streaming service know why a given subscriber joins/cancels? subscribers are fungible {nm} Jan 03, 15:42
A data-driven company like Netflix have the metrics and machine learning models. You look at Dec sign-ups who watched KNIV2. Jan 03, 16:17
They'll still repeat the same for KNIV3 Jan 03, 13:43
One of the worst cast movies I've seen in the past several years .Good movie to nap through. Sorry I had to see it. {nm} Jan 04, 09:52
DL: M3GAN which is looking at $17M, despite tracking have that film higher in the lower $20Ms. AVAT2 best January Monday ever Jan 03, 10:37
Universal lowballing. {nm} Jan 03, 10:40
They have AVAT2 at 25-30m next weekend. I think 40M is much more likely. I am not confident on M3GAN anymore. {nm} Jan 03, 11:07
I take the over 40m. Better 3rd wkend hold than Avatar, despite NYE. Faces 1 wide opener 4th wkend, versus 3 in 2010. {nm} Jan 03, 13:21
That's because Christmas Eve depressed AVAT2's second weekend. {nm} Jan 04, 07:52
Add 10m to Xmas Eve & it still experienced a better decline than Avatar's -9%. {nm} Jan 04, 09:25
Why only $10M? AVATR barely dropped in its 2nd weekend. {nm} Jan 04, 09:55
Avatar rose 22% over previous day on 2nd Sat. AVAT2 19.3m day 8 x 1.22 = 23.55. {nm} Jan 04, 10:16
Dec 25 was $29M. Dec 24 could easier do $20M more at $34M {nm} Jan 04, 10:00
