Weekend estimates: Uncharted and Dog post strong holds on slow weekend

February 27th, 2022

Uncharted and Dog are both taking advantage of the lack of competition to post strong second-week holds this weekend, as Studio 666 and Cyrano failed to extend their grasp beyond their core audience.

Weekend estimates: jackass forever posts healthy $23.5 million

February 6th, 2022

jackass forever was the hot favorite to win going into the weekend, and it’ll win in some style, as it appears to have gained momentum as the weekend has progressed. On Friday morning our model predicted an $18.1-million opening weekend for the stunt-reality-comedy movie. Paramount projected a $20.7-million weekend on Saturday morning once they’d seen Friday’s numbers, and have now upped that to a projected $23.5 million this morning. While that’s not huge by the standards of the franchise (Jackass 3D opened with over $50 million back in 2010, for example), it’s a very respectable figure by pandemic standards, and a welcome increase in business for movie theaters that have lacked new content in recent weeks.

That will take it to $735.9 million in total, less than $25 million behind Avatar’s $760.5-million final domestic cume.

Weekend predictions: Spider-Man heading for sixth weekend win

January 28th, 2022

With no new wide releases, this weekend at the box office will have an eerie familiarity to it. There’s a good chance that Ghostbusters: Afterlife will be back in the top 10 in its eleventh weekend in release. Licorice Pizza is almost certain to celebrate ten weeks in release with another top 10 finish. And standing over everything will be Spider-Man: No Way Home, which should break $10 million in its seventh week in theaters, and top the chart for the sixth time. Spidey should end the weekend with around $735 million domestically, putting it $25 million behind Avatar in the all-time race. More...
