Many expected a growth in horror movies by the studios since they have proven to be very profitable post-Covid but not all studios have been learning this lesson

Bruce predicts only a -27% drop for some reason this weekend on Weapons, even with a projected $66.8 Million for Conjuring. I would have thought there would be some serious overlap between the two and Weapons would have been buried under it.

So far, he's not right. It's dropped -44% from Friday to Friday, but looking just at F/F drops rarely paints the weekend picture, so I guess we wait and see.


ETA:

Well... he does mention this at the end of his prediction article...

With all the returning films coming out of a slight uptick thanks to Labor Day last weekend, we might see some steep drops on the chart when we get the numbers on Saturday and Sunday. The model partially accounts for that, but drops of 40% or more for all the returning films are quite likely, in my opinion.

... which is basically what I said on the 2nd regarding Fantastic 4's smaller than expected Labor Day Weekend drop:

I fully expect FF4 to end up taking a larger than normal dive next weekend to make up for this temporary bump it got with zero new competition.

---

ETA2:

And a deeper look at Friday's numbers in general appear to support this theory all around.

Friday to Friday drops:

Weapons: -45%
Freakier Friday: -47%
Caught Stealing: -71%
The Roses: -68%
Fantastic Four: -43%
The Bad Guys 2: -62%
Superman: -62%
The Naked Gun: -70%
F1: The Movie: -55%
Jurassic World Rebirth: -66%
Nobody 2: -81%
Toxic Avengare Unrated: -90%
Honey Don't: -90%
Lilo & Stitch: -93%

Oh well. WB should be more than pleased at this result even if it nosedives now. It's done well.

Gotta write a positive spin by calling the lowest weekend opening for a Dwayne Johnson movie an A24 success story.

That dude's career is pretty much over man. Turns out he was kind of a cunt that got too high on his own farts.

Every single streaming service on the planet including Netflix has done nothing but lose money every quarter they've been in existence.

If they don't figure out how to get asses back in seats, they'll just stop making anything new for you to pirate.
