This thing is now targeting 105-120M I feel, assuming it keeps it’s screens for long enough, but with Joker 2 crashing this movie should keep the screens until Venom 2, and the other movies in November. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is able to stay all the way to moana 2 though since there isn’t much family competition until then

Kind of bigger drop than I expected, though it should go back to #1 next weekend

I was expecting it to hold better than this

I put out the warnings in a couple Wild Robot posts that lots of schools having off for the Jewish holiday probably stole some weekend business. But, I still saw people expecting 22-24m weekend.
18.7m is still a disappointing number. I thought this movie would leg out better but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Seems a little worse than I expected, but still strong either way. It should stabilize from here until Moana 2.

Hmmm not the most awe-inspiring of second weekend drops, I don’t think this is going for 4x+ legs anymore.
The good news is it’s pretty much smooth sailing from here on out, with Columbus Day next Monday it should easily be looking at a drop ~30% if not better.

B-b-but I was reliably informed that if you just gave audiences good movies, they’d arrive in droves! Why aren’t audiences coming to watch this? Are they stupid?

I got downvoted for saying this wouldn’t have Elemental or Migration-level legs. WOM is not extremely strong and it doesn’t have the Pixar brand like Elemental, and no holidays like Migration.

almost 50% drop, which is pretty meh seeing the WOM and reviews. Might struggle to get to $100M

Maybe it just skews too young, and the IP is too niche?
Interesting this only seems to be just doing ok, and that’s it despite great critic/audience scores.

That’s a decent hold while still a big better than Elemental with $18.4M given while behind the first two Hotel Transylvania films with $27M and $33.2M given that it lost its PLFs and IMAX screens to Joker Folie Á Deux

mfs in the comments already calling this a flop are crazy. this is still easily passing 100m and should also make a case for 300m ww.

I really don’t get it. Something as good as this, with no competition at all for the next two months, should be having excellent holds. Oh well. Have fun with your number one next weekend, Terrifier 3.

I think the PLF loss to Joker 2 affected it badly, apparently it was quite PLF-heavy on opening weekend. Thankfully Joker 2 will quickly shrivel up and die like The Last Crusade villain so it’s smooth sailing for this film from here on out.

Disappointingly large drop, yes, but it should stabilize next weekend and have lower drops from there on out. Don’t understand the immediate doom and gloom people are jumping towards
