Very underwhelming for Focus.

Not bad for Lazarus.

WTF happened to Focus? It was averaging over 10K Tweets this week! :mad: At least it will have one bitch of an IM then.

I can't believe a horror movie got a poor CinemaScore rating from audiences :P. Do the people who go see horror movies like any of them? I don't know why they keep seeing them if they are never satisfied.

Focus did okay. Without will Smith, it would have done sub-10 million, so this is a good result. The Lazarus Effect also did well; it should open to over 10 million. Kingsman also appears to have found some footing, and Fifty Shades of Grey is recovering at least a little bit. But I have to say the most disappointing performance on Friday was SpongeBob. There is no reason for it to still be seeing 45%+ drops without any significant theater drops, new competition in the marketplace, and good reviews, despite a holiday.

I'm disappointed for Focus. I was expecting closer to a $10 mil OD. Just under $7 mil OD may not even translate to a $21 mil OW. Maybe it can muster a $75 mil total.

Slightly better than expected for Lazarus, but only by about a mil or so.

It definitely won't get $21m from an under-$7m Friday. And $75m from an $18-$20m opening??? Who are you kidding?

Focus can easily have a 3.3 IM and open to $21m.

Post subject:  Re: Early Friday #s
Well, similar movies didn't. So I think the best it gets is a 2.8 IM and settles for $19m. It's an evening movie. I doubt it gets a lot of matinee attendance.

Post subject:  Re: Early Friday #s
It's not a movie that should be frontloaded. And it has a huge star.

Though I thought it would make $30+ mil easily, so I obviously know nothing.

Post subject:  Re: Early Friday #s
Actually you predicted that "Focus will break out to $35m+" ;)

David will be spot on with his $19m prediction.

I was a little too over-the-mark with $23.4m.

Post subject:  Re: Early Friday #s
I think some of you guys were a bit hopeful with those 30m+ predictions. Like i said, I think the marketing was a confused and wack. With a likely 18-19m OW, it probably gets to 50-60m DOM total. A lot of movies will be hit hard with March coming up (which is a big month overall)

Will Smith's drawing power is over and it is 100% his fault. Destroyed all of his good will with that vanity project After Earth. Not to mention he turned down Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained to do After Earth!!!!. Fucking moron.

Post subject:  Re: Early Friday #s
Yeah, Will Smith should've done Django, I think he would've been a lot better than Jamie Foxx. Its gross would've been not significantly higher I think though.

Post subject:  Re: Early Friday #s
So Focus might not even hit $20M for the weekend which is pretty pathetic. Smith should have tried harder getting Bad Boys 3 greenlit as soon as possible instead of trying to force us to take his kids seriously as actors. Too bad he also said no to the ID sequel.

I know he has Suicide Squad next year, but that movie's success will have nothing to do with him being in it.

Post subject:  Re: Friday #s
Focus did just alright. Lazarus Effect's # is decent given its budget.

Looks like Birdman won't get its best weekend yet even though it finally managed to get more than a thousand theaters. Makes sense since it just came out on home video.

What an embarrassing performance for Hot Tub Time Machine 2.

Since hitting it big with ID4 Will Smith's averaged a $40m opening weekend with his 17 movies - and that's not even inflation adjusted (or accounting for several Wednesday openers)...

So not (or barely) hitting $20m is quite a deal...

Post subject:  Re: Friday #s
This movie never looked appealing for anything other than its leads. The trailers oozed genericness. The fact that something so dull looking can still open to near 20 million is a decent performance.

Only one of his post-ID4 R-rated releases (BAD BOYS II) opened north of $21m.
