    Hitmans made $3,8m wed. Will the bad reviews hurt it? (note some are saying it made $4m.)

    Difference take on In The Height opening weekend.
    Could it be because the cast is 100% is why it’s failing at the box office?

    What's wrong with the cast?

    IMO, there’s nothing wrong with the cast, but that may not be true of others

    One thing that can come up is, they might be talented but not very famously known. I'd expect that to be a reason for the Hitman's Bodyguard sequel (that has Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas on it) to debut higher than In the Heights just because of that, despite the way more terrible reviews.

    I guess familiarity breeds success?

    Often does, big time. I enjoyed Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard enough because of the cast (besides Salma Hayek's character being a hoot, they managed to slip Frank Grillo in too).

    And part of why I hope to love Black Widow is because of Florence Pugh's role in it.

    Hitmans wife looks like will do pretty much what they expected it to.

    Lionsgate and Millennium Media’s The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard won the Friday box office sprint, but is finding itself in close race with hit sequel A Quiet Place Part II for the weekend crown despite the latter title being in its fourth weekend.

    Hitman’s Bodyguard 2 earned $3.1 million Friday from 3,331 theaters for an estimated weekend opening of $9.6 million to $10 million-plus and a solid five-day debut of roughly $15 million-plus, in line with expectations. The action-comedy launched on Wednesday and, including paid sneaks last weekend, headed into the weekend with $5.4 million in the bank.
    Quiet place 2 won't go without a fight.

    Quiet Place II wasn’t far behind on Friday. The unstoppable Paramount horror-thriller grossed $2.8 million from 3,401 locations for a projected $9 million to $10 million weekend. The movie is the first title in the pandemic age to earn north of $100 million, in addition to pulling off a surprise upset last weekend in its third outing when beating the debut of Warner Bros.’ In the Heights ($12 million versus $11.5 million, respectively).
    Peter rabbit 2 doing better this week but in the heights falls out of the top 5!

    Ok. I didn't think people liked Hitman's Bodyguard that much

    Fast 9 passes $300m.

    Bodyguard does ironic about the same as the first one did in 2017!

    The big ironic is in just the LA showing luca did great! How much money did disney flush down the drain with putting it on plus!

    In a kind of cruel joke, Walt Disney released Luca in a single theater, their El Capitan auditorium, and nabbed the biggest per-theater average in ages. The Pixar charmer, about two young sea creatures who hang out in a costal Italian fishing village, earned around $80,000 in its first and only weekend of domestic theatrical play.

    The top seven per-theater averages are all Disney toons playing early at the El Capitan and/or elsewhere, from The Lion King (a $793k per-theater average in two theaters in 1994) to Frozen ($243k from the El Capitan in 2013). Lucas, from before we expected Pixar to consistently offer game-changing masterpieces that dissected life’s biggest existential questions while making us weep in our theater seats, earned $5 million in 11 overseas territories. Disney claims Seeing Red will go globally to theaters next year, so hopefully this “send Pixar to Disney+” thing is a “desperate measures for desperate times” choice. If true, then the “How does day and date streaming and theatrical affect box office” debates may be a moot point once Disney and Warner Bros. return to business as usual (on a shortened window) next year.

    Connected, wish dragon (both with great reviews) and now luca. Man studios love dumping animated film money down the drain this year huh?

    Of course Luca had a big per theater gross, it was only in one theater.

    Do you realize streaming isn’t about what one movie makes, it’s all about monthly subscribers. A totally different model than theatrical releases.

    Black Widow Box Office Opening Projected to be Higher Than F9


    Black Widow expected to open higher than F9.

    I wonder if this could be the first film to get to 200m USA box office, post COVID era. No doubt Disney would be happy since it would begin to build momentum for Eternals and Shang CHI.

    I think the MCU has immunity against covid, probably will have the biggest three movies of the year.

    Keep in mind the black widow disney plus same day may hurt it's box office a little.

    People are betting on what movie will win over the both. F9 or black widow. Looks like people are having fun guessing. Many think black widow will win over fast 9.


    Also many theatres are going back to full crowds with f9 (but they still want masks on people who have not had a shot) but looks like some theatres are going to start filling up all rooms again. Will that effect the box office? Who knows.
