Second highest grossing September film?
Pretty weak group, what stands out? I'm gonna say Abominable or Downton. I think Ad Astra will be a turkey. (edit: it's not) September preview http://wokj.worldofkj.com/it-chapter-2- ... september/

I can see Ad Astra matching Passengers.

I can't see it being good after all its release date changes before settling in September, plus James Gray is not an especially mainstream director, so it is a candidate for misleading trailer and a film more interested in being Solaris than Gravity, and people being pissed Edit - Oh, it actually has reviews and it is good. I still expect it to tune out mainstream audiences though. There is indeed a Solaris comp in one of the reviews

Re: Second highest grossing September film?
Brad Pitt in space seems like a winner. I’d be surprised by less than $90M and am expecting around $110M.
Dreamworks has been better lately, but we just had two animated movies about yetis not too long ago neither did very well.

Re: Second highest grossing September film?
Would be interesting if it was Hustlers. Haven't had a movie open aimed specifically for women in awhile.

I would be thrilled if it was! I hope Hustler's does very well.

Besides the other movie called Hustlers from this year? Sure? That was back in May. Was there another film aimed specifically at women this summer? Hustlers should do at least 20m more than The Hustle.

Re: Second highest grossing September film?
Hustlers is tracking for a mid-20s OW so it should be good for $70m+
I also think Ad Astra will go over $70m so its a tight race between the two.

Not really feeling Ad Astra. Feel like it'll only do slightly better than First Man unless it's like really amazing.

Abominable or Hustlers. I have it being Abominable though. Would love for it to be Hustlers. STX certainly needs a hit.

Re: Second highest grossing September film?
Also it sounds like reviews might end up being terrific for Hustlers so that could only help it soar higher.

Re: Second highest grossing September film?
I hear that but I think anyone can equally want to see a movie, same with a simple favor, sex and the city and the like. Idk why people think men won’t be interested in some movies just because it stars women but that’s just me I guess

Re: Second highest grossing September film?
It's far easier to get a male targeted film to attract the female audience than it is for a female targeted film to attract a male audience. Men are stubborn as shit. It's insane that the studios cater to them so frequently.

Re: Second highest grossing September film?
It's definitely starting to look like Hustlers is going to break out quite a bit. Perfect timing and an appealing marketing campaign is seriously going to push it. I am hoping that Rambo and Ad Astra overperform somewhat as well.

Re: Second highest grossing September film?
I think we'll end up with the following:
Hustlers - $90-$110m Ad Astra - $65-$85m Abominable - $70-$80m Downton Abbey - $50-$60m Rambo: Last Blood - $40-$50m The Goldfinch - $20-$30m

Yep it's looking like it's going to be Hustlers unless something else breaks out.

Abominable is a challenger IMO. TLK has been doing great because of the lack of competition.

It’s ridiculous that this whole “chick flick” mentality still exists today and it’s beyond laughable that people thought Crazy Rich Asians was a chick flick on Reddit. And it’s only like, 3 theaters
