V: CIACF $3.8 million, TBOLT $33.1 million May 11, 08:04
TN: CIACF $3,650,000 {nm} May 11, 08:38

TN: SHDWF $2.015m May 11, 07:28
Friendship $451,904 in 6 theaters (quite frontloaded to Friday) {nm} May 11, 07:33
Might be too early to call LOCHI BRA since it has one more week... but it only made $55k this weekend so... {nm} May 11, 07:35
And you can make even MORE money off that by holding a certain bond correctly. {nm} May 11, 07:37
Not too early. (LOCHI) Lost 86% of its Theatres 1004 - 863 = 141. Stick a Fork in it - It's Done. {nm} May 11, 10:43
FIOFL $2,001,252 {nm} May 11, 08:33
SITWAP: Collider: HIGHL may be shooting in Sep and release in 27/28 May 11, 06:18
The 'SINNERS' Blockbuster Warrant (SINER.BW) has been Jacked from 210.00 to 215.00. {nm} May 11, 00:08
We'll see what the tally is today, but by my calcs, that's an appropriate BW price. Sucks to lose the 5, but it's fair. May 11, 05:31
And it has many weeks to make that $5 million difference, which it will probably make before Memorial Day weekend. {nm} May 11, 07:53
Actually, before next Friday... won't even need that long.... hopefully he won't jack the price up even more :) {nm} May 11, 07:54
It's be at $220 by Tuesday latest. {nm} May 11, 07:55
Wednesday since estimate came in 2M under. nm May 11, 09:11
LOL. Come on; it's a license to print money. {nm} May 11, 11:57
Very glad to see a creative, no derivative, non $200M budgeted beautiful film become the little movie that could {nm} May 11, 12:48
DL: Dev Patel’s Action/Thriller “The Peasant” WW Distribution rights sold to A24 (IPO Needed) May 10, 22:18
Not putting yesterday's IPO movie code as YOMAMA is a real missed opportunity! ;-) (can we have 6 character codes?) May 10, 09:42
+1 {nm} May 10, 09:51
Two Saturdays in a row with animated movies with a Filipino bent... May 10, 09:16
V: CIACF $1.69 million across Friday and previews. SHDWF $720,000 ; FIOFL $990,000. VERAJ $96,000 on Friday. May 10, 08:26
TN has VERAJ $100,000 {nm} May 10, 08:28
Another Briarcliff bomb. {nm} May 10, 08:30
Briarcliff is a great distributor for Starbonds. . . {nm} May 10, 10:51
Love your glass half full! :) {nm} May 10, 13:28
It's gotta be one of the worse for 1000-2000 screens. BOM only has 2000 screens. May 10, 08:46
One of my best friends worked on that Oogieloves movie... and I still give him a hard time about it. {nm} May 10, 09:13
V: a 10 min KFURY sizzle reel was leaked on YT and taken down. There's been no movement since te 2020 lawsuit. May 10, 08:16
Sizzle Reel May 10, 08:20
TN: Friendship has a surrpisingly good opening day with $227,367 in 6 theaters, $37,895 per theater May 10, 07:25
Not sure why that's surprising {nm} May 10, 07:33
A PTA ~$700K could be the best since ANORA. May 10, 07:39
Sorry, I meant $700K total, ~$100K PTA {nm} May 10, 07:41
Both likely had Thu frontloading, but still pretty great company. May 10, 07:46
Yeah, this is like PTA/Wes Anderson ...um.... platform PTA. {nm} May 10, 07:58
Tim Robinson is low-key a very famous funny dude from all the ITYSL clips going viral {nm} May 10, 08:24
Like that Nate Bargatze guy? {nm} May 10, 09:14
Because if I didn't write about movies, I might never have even known this movie existed. May 10, 07:59
Robinson has a very passionate cult following & had bc {nm} May 10, 10:15
Got cut off...& has been the subject of several popular memes May 10, 10:17
It's also one of the few titles that sold for bucks at tiff in 2024 May 10, 12:10
it's basically a two-hour ITYSL sketch, which if you love the show you'll probably think most of this is similarly hilarious May 10, 21:23
TN: FNSHP $227,367 6 theaters May 10, 07:25
TBOLT $9,000,000 {nm} May 10, 07:52
Damn... two days in a row! Jinx! :) {nm} May 10, 08:05
Fight or Flight extremely frontloaded to Regal Monday Mystery Movie/Thursday as expected. {nm} May 09, 20:52
A 53% drop is not very good considering that there were no new big releases this week {nm} May 10, 07:38
That's the same as DEAD3. {nm} May 10, 07:53
Could be the best MCU drop ever not counting Spider-Man: Far From Home May 10, 08:06
Correction, eighth best among all MCU titles across 36 releases. May 10, 09:05
But it's good considering that it immediately loses the $11.5m from previews in week 1 {nm} May 10, 09:20
plus 3rd weekend tends to be a smaller drop than 2nd {nm} May 11, 12:15
US Trailer of ‘Tatami’, one of the best films I had seen last years May 09, 16:55
XYZ Films will open the film on June 13 May 09, 16:56
THR: Slow news day, Alan Ritchson fired his longtime manager after a blow-up on the RUNNER set. May 09, 15:03
Kal Penn too. musta been something bad May 09, 15:31
The manager was removed from Survivor (Yes THAT one) for allegedly inappropriate physical contact so...... May 09, 15:49
THR: Mikey Madison turned down Star Wars so she could star in .... a Mermaid Thriller with Kirsten Dunst? May 09, 12:30
And yes, I am teasing about her specifically turning down Star Wars for it, but it more or less would be. {nm} May 09, 12:32
As she should. You don't follow up an Oscar with a Shawn Levy film. nm May 09, 12:36
It definitely sounds more Anora adjacent at least. {nm} May 09, 12:50
Sneider via CBM: Trinity Bliss might be in line to play Jubilee. May 09, 11:34
Sneider: Is Lisa Colón-Zayas Rio Morales? {nm} May 09, 11:44

Other than Bond and Creed, when was the last time MGM had a movie gross more than $100m domestic? {nm} May 09, 11:25
Red One came close! $97,000,759 {nm} May 09, 11:34
And probably would have if it hadn't gone to Prime so quickly {nm} May 09, 14:14
But that was with a holiday bump. {nm} May 09, 15:26
Book is a bestseller like The Martian. {nm} May 09, 11:36
its a better book than Martian IMO! But its much more...fantastical?...I dont know the right word without spoiling May 09, 11:43
Hm..maybe I'll check it out. I do have 11 months :) {nm} May 09, 15:27
I blew through it on a long flight. Fantastical is def the wrong word. Its closer to CONTACT then MARTIAN {nm} May 09, 16:28
