I don't know. PR may underperform, but that doesn't mean it still can't draw away audiences from TR. You also have Sherlock Gnome, which is going to attract families. And don't forget BP, which is still doing great. It will most likely have just a drop of 35%-40% next weekend, which is smaller than the drop TR will most likely see, 50%-60%, depending on word of mouth. Then, on its 3rd weekend you have Ready Player One releasing. That's going to attract gamers and the average moviegoer, as well as families, more than a TR film. After that weekend, its just going to be picking at scraps. And to compare it to the Angelina Jolie film, that one opened with $47.7M, didn't have horrible drops, and ended up at $131.2M at the DBO. That's a multiplier of 2.75x. If this one reaches $23M this weekend, and sees the same multiplier, that would put DBO at just $63.25M. FBO is going to have to do some very heavy lifting if it's going to reach that $230M-$250M. |
And i didn't say it won't have any competition but there is no MAJOR release that could destroy the movie and make it impossible to breathe. There is no way it will do these numbers domestic but these movies are always saved by overseas numbers and that's what i'm expecting.
