I got 3 trailers before today's matinee:

The Last Word: In which a hateful, self-centered old white lady adopts a quipping young black girl as her last act of atonement that should nullify a lifetime of being a horrible human being.

That was just awful. The people in that film hate Shirley McLaine? I hate that movie.

Speaking of magical negro tropes, what ever happened to that cringey Eddie Murphy movie? Did it get quietly shelved?

Mr. Church is as guilty as fuck as magical negro tropes go, but I can't lie that I still enjoyed this melodramatic and predictable film and gave into all of its emotionally manipulativeness and had a good cry. Eddie Murphy puts in a very good dramatic performance.

Since 2010 Illumination has placed 6 films in the DOM animated top 20. That is more than Pixar (4) and Disney Animation (2). WB has 1 (The LEGO Movie).

The one Illumination film to miss was The Lorax which still grossed over 200M DOM.

WKND #BoxOffice: #Split $26.3M/$78M, #ADogsPurpose $18.4M, #HiddenFigures $14M/$104M, #ResidentEvil $13.9M, #LaLaLand $12.1M/$106.5M.


34% drop is absurd. 101M WW on a 9M budget. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

WB didnt even bother posting an estimate for Live by Night.

Split is only $5M behind the Conjuring after 2 weekends, and that film had the benefit of summer weekdays.

Really giving James a wan for his money eh?

Happy to see it being so successful. Can't wait to see it, even though I had the twist spoiled by a post on the Gaming side and a YouTube title video.

I count five: Despicable Me, Despicable Me 2, Minions, Secret Life of Pets and Sing. Which one am I missing?

I only count five too. Still, an incredible achievement.

So what's the final dom count 130-140M

 

[Farmboy]

Absolutely. Though IMO only the original DM is top tier. I somewhat liked DM2 and Minions, kinda hated SLOP, haven't seen Sing (because I'm pretty sure I'd hate it). So I do think they're a way off from being able to use their studio name as a brand name the way Pixar can

Spoiler

(could)

[zeemumu]

I can see Resident Evil: The Final Chapter breaking into the top 5 and then dropping immediately.

 

[Schlorgan]

Not a lot coming out next week. I wonder where Rings will end up. It's had some pretty good marketing on social media.
