Tom Hooper's direction is bloody murder.

Tell us how this compares to the horror film genre, KSwizzle. I know it'll be the biggest non ghostbusters horror comedy domestically but what else.
Some of it depends on what you consider a horror film I guess. Assuming that you don't count the more action focused stuff (Ghostbusters, I Am Legend, Gremlins, World War Z, etc), here are the top domestic Horror films:
1) The Exorcist - $233M domestic
2) What Lies Beneath - $155M
3) The Blair Witch Project - $141M
4) The Conjuring - $137M
5) Split - $134M (likely to move up 1-2 more spots)
6) The Ring - $129M
7) The Grudge - $110M
8) Paranormal Activity - $108M
9) Paranormal Activity 3 - $104M
10) Scream - $103M
Get Out is Already ahead of Split after two weekends, despite opening $6.5M lower. Unless things drastically change in the next week or two, we are probably looking at a new #2 on that list.

Disney about to show everyone how it's done.
Who was that guy who was doubling-down in B&TB being one of 2017's big bombs?
Underestimating GotG 2. But I do think Beauty and the Beast will top it and easily top Cars 3.

Beast
Sixth Sense might as well be in there.

Man The Conjuring was so good.
I think it will be Star Wars at about 800 million, Beauty and the Beast at about 480 million, GOGT2 at about 400 mil. Nothing else over 300 million. Speaking domestically. Beauty and the Beast doing 500 million wouldn't surprise me.
Should be. 293. That was a monster.

Is Kelsey Grammar in this movie and no one told me?

I get the feeling stock in Cars 3's BO projections is going to plummet once the first trailer with Mater in it drops.

I really do wonder if Kong is going to take any sort of measurable bite out of Logan's 2nd weekend.
The word of mouth on it is crazy.
Plus the fact Get Out appears to not be going anywhere, either

The $7.2m Monday is a sign that the WOM will be strong and the legs will be. Let's hope that is true. After all, I am the asshole that thought LEGO Batman would do a lot better than it did.
On Kong? I thought Logan was excellent but I'm having trouble getting some to come with me to see Kong on Friday night!
I'm not sure that KONG is going to cross over into the larger audience the way Godzilla did a few years ago..., before falling off a cliff the next weekend admittedly.
No Logan's word of mouth.

Btw, for those wondering about the next X-movies, I'm about to post a thread.

Does Kong show his dong?
That's amazing!!
I have a feeling that if KONG can get a $40m opening and finish it's North American run at around $90m or so WB would probably live with it.
Given that this is leading into a Godzilla V Kong mash-up film (and WB are minority financiers of this) as long as this doesn't shit the bed completely the studio would probably settle for having international markets doing all the heavy lifting at the box office.
I feel like Life and GITS are going to be the big losers this March.
Ahh, I wasn't sure.
That makes sense.

So, in your case, the short subject category?
This is not okay. B'Lee is not amused.

If WB are smart they'll throw a dump truck full of money at Jackman and Mangold to team up on a DC film.
this post is just too good.
21 Jump Street fans who are willing to settle for less?

I think Chips could be good. Hit & Run was entertaining as hell, and that didn't have Michael Pena.
DeathoftheEndless
Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
Seems like just about every March movie will disappoint box-office wise other than Logan and Beauty & The Beast.
I mean it's a bit of a stretch but at least that sense of humor catered to the fans who grew up on 21 Jump Street at the time
I mean like I was in my late 20s when that came out and remember the show.
Chips is from the 70s... with teenage humor....
We'll see
There was apparently some about of buzz for the project within the studio so it's possible that the trailers just haven't done it justice and this could break out..., but I'd surprised if it did Jump Street numbers.
The reported budget was $25M, so $50-60M domestic would probably be OK for CHiPs.
Looks like it's for people who liked Let's Be Cops and 21/22 Jump Street.
People watched Let's Be Cops?
$82M domestic on a $18M opening and $17M budget.

Tuesday is typically special-price day, right? How often does Tuesday go up (especially by that much) over Monday?
The increase is pretty typical for an R Rated film. Some family films can get 50% bumps, but the rest of Logan's weekdays will be better.
Well there's me being proven wrong
