Holdovers Reign Over Presidents’ Day Weekend, But Why Did The New Releases Tank?

A Cure for Wellness The Great Wall Fist Fight

By

5th Update, Final Sunday AM: The Saturday over the four-day Presidents’ Day weekend spelled wonders for a number of films with those in the top 10 seeing close to a 50% surge over Friday. However, the holdovers —The Lego Batman Movie, Fifty Shades Darker and John Wick: Chapter 2– are still getting richer, while the new titles get poorer, at least when you compare tickets sales against estimated combined production costs and P&As. Similar to MLK Weekend, why is there so… Read

By

Hey exhibitors — are you listening? A recent Movio/AARP study recently highlighted that the 50+ age group is one of the more devoted moviegoing demos, particularly during Oscar season. During the period of Jan. 1, 2016-Feb. 5, 2017, those 50 and over repped 56% of the crowd for Oscar-nominated movies versus a 20% turnout for blockbusters. Distributors, particularly those with upscale arthouse fare, often gripe that theater owners just don’t get it: The 50+ demo, though… Read

Moviegoers Likely To Spend Fewer George Washingtons Over Presidents Day Weekend: Box Office Preview

A Cure for Wellness The Great Wall Fist Fight

By

Since 2013, Presidents Day weekend at the box office has had the added benefit of Valentine’s Day falling on or adjacent to the four-day holiday weekend. But not this year, which spells a dull weekend. Try blaming the holidays for not coinciding, but the real culprit is a lack of great, new product popping off the tracking boards — the likely result of which is more moviegoers voting to stay home than previous Presidents Days. Last year’s Valentine’s/Presidents Day… Read

‘Lego Batman’ May Have Won The Weekend, But Christian Grey Will Win Over Hearts On Valentine’s Day: Monday Postmortem

fifty-shades

By

6TH WRITETHRU, Monday 6:30 PM: Even though Warner Bros.’ The Lego Batman Movie’s opening is still fine at $53M, it’s down from its Sunday projection by $2.6M, which some attribute to the fact that the movie isn’t resonating as broadly as The Lego Movie did, rather largely appealing to the under-12 set. Some industry analysts say that’s evident in the lower Saturday boom: Lego Batman was +59% over its first Friday versus Lego Movie‘s +80%. Still, Warner Bros. will have… Read

‘Fifty Shades’ $97.7M Debut, ‘xXx’ Big In China, ‘Lego Batman,’ ‘John Wick’ Open – International Box Office

Fifty Shades Darker box office

By

WRITETHRU, 11:20 AM Monday: Universal Pictures’ Fifty Shades Darker opened to less than the estimated $100 million-plus take with a $97.7M international debut, the fourth-biggest opening ever for an R-rated film behind its predecessor Fifty Shade Of Grey, Deadpool and The Matrix Revolutions. And it’s headed into Valentine’s Day tomorrow in Europe and elsewhere which should give it an extra kick mid-week. If you look at just three-day weekend numbers, it was the China bow… Read

‘Split’ Crosses $100M At Box Office; Fifth M. Night Shyamalan Pic To Hit Milestone

Writer/director/producer M. Night Shyamalan returns to the captivating grip of "The Sixth Sense," "Unbreakable," and "Signs" with "Split," an original film that delves into the mysterious recesses of one man's (JAMES MCAVOY) fractured, gifted mind. Here, the personality of Hedwig speaks with (L to R) Casey (ANYA TAYLOR-JOY), Claire (HAYLEY LU RICHARDSON) and Marcia (JESSICA SULA).

While we mentioned this yesterday, it’s a worthy shout-out that Universal and Blumhouse’s Split, directed by M. Night Shyamalan, crossed $100 million Tuesday at the domestic box office. Prognosticators expected this movie to be frontloaded like all genre films before it — that’s why this benchmark for this $9M-budgeted production is so remarkable. While it’s Shyamalan’s fifth title to cross $100M, among his genre pics it’s his first to rally past the century mark in 13… Read

Warner Bros is “making a lot of progress” and “aggressively working with exhibitors” in its effort to create a premium VOD window — to offer new movies to home viewers during the 90-day period when theaters typically want exclusivity — studio chief Kevin Tsujihara told analysts this morning. “The middle market in the theatrical business has become extremely tough,” especially with adult dramas that “we’re having problems with,” he said in a call to discuss Time Warner’s Q4… Read

‘Split’ Dings ‘Rings’; Auds Keep Distance From ‘Space’; ‘Comedian’ Bombs: Monday Final

Film Title: Split

6TH WRITETRHU, Monday finals: Don’t blame the Super Bowl for the lackluster performance of this weekend’s new entries: Paramount’s Rings and STX’s teen romance The Space Between Us, which are opening to $13 million in second place and $3.77M in ninth, respectively. Money was left on the table here by those distributors who decided to opt out.
