Lyle Lyle Crocodile- 17m

In a more competitive marketplace this bombs OW at least but I think it will overperform a little due to the barren marketplace
Amsterdam- 10m

Tar should have an enormous average and probably break the year to date PTA record with at lest 50k in its 4 theaters

I think Lyle will have a big opening. I'm thinking upwards of $28 million. Smile will also stay above $10 million because I have a sneaking feeling that it will open in the mid 20s this weekend.

I think Lyle can do low 20's.

Somehow Amsterdam is tracking in the teens to 20 Million. I'm not really confident it can do that.

It does have a very star studded cast. But the reviews are really going to hurt it. 10m seems still doable after Joy did 17m with also mixed reviews

Clifford did $17M Oct. 2021. Tom and Jerry did $14M Feb. 2021.

Family film grosses were vastly depressed then but feel Lyle can definitely do $20M+. For now going with $31M.

Yeah I can actually see 30 for Lyle. I don't think it goes below 20 Million.

Last time a non sequel live action kids film opened to 20m+? Last time an original live action musical opened to 20m+? High teens would be great for it, the open market isn't going to turn a film in 2 historically hard to sell genres into a blockbuster.

Amsterdam reminds me of Monuments Men, which had us thinking it would flop after it got bad reviews but ended up performing respectably.

Come on, $30 million doesn't make it a blockbuster.

I didn't even know it was a musical and I've seen the trailer twice. :P I might not be alone in that. But it is Shawn Mendes and he has plenty of fans that might go. Though personally I think he looks unrecognizable in this ;).

I read a few comments on Deadline that Lyle is the best kids film since Paddington. Even if it doesn't burst at OW would be great to have a leggy family film. The next one isn't until Strange World Nov. 23rd so Lyle has 7 weeks of family audience to itself. Even with a low $20s OW may be able to leg out to $100M if the quality is there.

Deadline says $11m for Lyle and $7.3m for Amsterdam. :(

Pretty disappointing if those materialize, though I am hopeful that Lyle has a big Saturday and Sunday to push it higher for the #1 spot. A $3 million Friday for a kids movie doesn't seem too bad, and is a near 100% increase on Saturday out of the question?

There's virtually nothing for families until Thanksgiving so could still see Lyle pull $80M if it gets past $15M.

Yeah, plus its RT audience score is 92%.
