Quote:The Creator's box office performance could determine whether movie studios continue to take risks on original stories. Is it a bomb or a hit?
Quote:In spite of its disappointing opening weekend, there’s still a chance that The Creator can become a moderate hit, but it’s very unlikely. The general rule of thumb is that movies need to gross 2.5 times their production budget to turn a profit after marketing costs and exhibitors’ percentages have been taken into account. This means that The Creator will have to gross somewhere in the $160-200 million range to avoid being labeled a flop. The Creator would need serious legs at the box office to make the journey from a $32.3 million opening weekend to a $200 million final figure.

That’s a very similar second-weekend decline to Disney’s 2008 concert film Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert. The running total for Eras Tour by EOD Sunday would be $130.7M. Meanwhile, Apple Original Films and Paramount‘s 3-hour and 26-minute Martin Scorsese movie Killers of the Flower Moon is looking pretty good. Booked at 3,628 theaters, Friday is shaping up to be $9M ahead of a $22M three-day opening. Some rival distribs even have it higher.
Quote:Meanwhile, without giving any number predictions, I'm going to say that my guess is that Eras Tour 2nd weekend trounces Killers' first weekend. Even with a 66% drop, Taylor's thing still makes $31.5 Million over the weekend and I haven't even seen a Killers' prediction saying that anything close to $30 Million was in the cards.

Quote:After the massive success of Universal’s ‘Oppenheimer,’ Paramount and Apple Studios are ready to release their epic drama ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ with great expectations, which will be screened in theaters on Friday[1]. The R-rated boasts a strong cast and director, including Martin Scorsese, DiCaprio, and De Niro, which is a big plus point and holds significant promise. The makers have too high expectations for the film, and these expectations have increased even more since the critics have given it the green light. But despite these advantages, perhaps it will not impress the makers at the box office. One of the major factors is the critical response and buzz, which are very positive for ‘Killers of the Flower Moon.’ However, despite these positive factors and the presence of well-established cast and crew members, pre-ticket sales numbers are not up to par, indicating a slow start. According to industry estimates, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is projected to earn $35-40 million on its opening weekend domestically across 3500+ theaters, which is considered a disappointing debut for a big-budgeted film, especially for an R-rated film. ‘Oppenheimer’ was projected to earn $50 million and opened with $82 million, but there’s no indication that ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ will perform similarly due to a lack of quality buzz. According to reports, Apple Studios and Paramount Pictures spent $200 million on the production of ‘Killers of the Flower Moon.’ With such a huge production budget, the recovery numbers are automatically set too high. As of now, despite receiving positive reviews and featuring a high-profile cast, the ability to recover its costs is in question as the film’s performance in both domestic and overseas markets is a disappointment. According to industry sources, the full theatrical run is projected to reach $125 million domestically and $250 million globally, which would be considered a disaster. There is no doubt that ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is headed for a box office failure, as per early box office predictions. Not only is it a failure, but it also has the potential to become one of the biggest losses for the makers in 2023. Paramount has already faced significant failures, including ‘Mission Impossible 7,’ ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,’ and ‘Babylon.’ Another failure increases production concerns. As for Apple Studios, it would be wise to consider limiting themselves to streaming or producing smaller films, as all of their theatrical releases up to now have been unsuccessful. However, many social media users and reports are comparing it to ‘Oppenheimer,’ which is not the right thing to do. Regardless of how brilliant ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is, the industry thrives on profitability. ‘Oppenheimer’ tops the list as one of the industry’s most successful R-rated films, while ‘Killers of the Flower Moon‘ is struggling for success. Even if the film is excellent, if the audience doesn’t want to watch it in theaters, it’s a total disappointment for the makers. But despite all of this, we can only hope that the film will avoid losses, if not turn a profit.
Quote:“Killers of the Flower Moon” sports a colossal $200 million production budget, but it’s not like those behind the feature are banking on a hefty profit from tickets. Apple, which backed the project, is planning to invest in theatrical runs for its original slate as a means to promote their eventual streaming releases. “Flower Moon” is the first high-profile rodeo in movie theaters for the company, which has partnered with Paramount Pictures to handle domestic distribution. Apple will take another stab at theatrical later this fall with “Napoleon,” partnering with Sony for Ridley Scott’s similarly mega-budgeted war feature.
Quote:For what it’s worth, “Flower Moon” is tracking ahead of the opening for Scorsese’s last Leonardo DiCaprio collaboration “The Wolf of Wall Street.” That sprawling comedy debuted with $18 million in late December, but rode the holiday season and awards buzz to a $116 million finish in North America.

Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: Once again, I don't know where Bruce is getting $32 Million for Killers on opening weekend. Nobody else is coming close to that number. The highest prediction I've seen was only $24 Million. ... Meanwhile, without giving any number predictions, I'm going to say that my guess is that Eras Tour 2nd weekend trounces Killers' first weekend. ... This prediction still stands despite what Bruce has to say on the matter. ... If we were to erroneously make a guess for the rest of the weekend based off of $9,400,000 on Friday night, we'd come up with a number much higher than reality and we might be saying "This thing might actually crack $30 Million this weekend if it's lucky". It won't. I'm going to look at Oppenheimer for the model of my prediction for the weekend here. With Thursday previews included in the Friday number, it dropped 21% on Saturday and another 12% on Sunday. Applying those drops to Killers and we get the following: Thursday: $2,600,000 Friday: $6,800,000 Saturday: $7,426,000 (-21% of $9,400,000) Sunday: $6,534,880 (-12% of $7,426,000) TOTAL: $23,360,880 That's my prediction based off of Thursday Previews and Friday's Projections, so whoever guessed $24 Million going into this weekend was pretty much spot-on. Now... It may have actually made as much as $25 Million and change even if the projections match the above numbers come tomorrow afternoon. As I've noted before, the Studios like to low-ball projections early in a film's life as not to embarrass themselves. I'd say that a range between $22 Million and $26 Million as the final Domestic Opening Weekend Number is a good range to allow for error in my only using Oppenheimer's 1st weekend performance as the model. ... I'm going to give myself a little bit of cushion here, especially on the Killers movie because Paramount/Apple have an incentive to lowball the predictions. I think I'll give it to Eras Tour as well because of the fact that AMC was not in charge of projections last weekend it ended up being the only movie I can ever recall that actually had lower final numbers on opening weekend than was projected. I've heard that AMC gave the Friday night projection this week, so I'm assuming they don't want that mistake repeated. My final predictions for top 2 this weekend: 1. Taylor Swift: Eras Tour: $27.5 Million 2. Killers of the Flower Moon: $25 Million

I don't imagine that Killers of the Flower Moon are going to hurt it any more than it hurts itself next weekend. Five Nights at Freddies will almost certainly put an end to it the following weekend though. Priscilla (the new Elvis-related biopic about Elvis being a pedophile) probably won't hurt anything the week after that, except possible overlap with the Killers of the Flower Moon audience.

Yup. Bruce is quite impressed with the preview numbers for FNAF as well. His original model had FNAF making around $30 to $35 Million this weekend, but with those previews he's now predicting a $60 Million floor for the weekend ($20 Million more than other outlets were expecting before these Thursday night previews). He thinks it could make as much as $85 Million this weekend and it could possibly end up with the 6th highest October weekend opening in history. Disney/Marvel has to be pissing themselves right about now. Didn't the latest Opening Weekend Predictions to that movie drop to something like only $40 Million now on that $275 to $300 Million production budget? If FNAF actually makes $85 Million domestically on Opening Weekend, that's around half of what some people are predicting that The Marvels will do Worldwide by the time it's out of the theaters. Reminder: FNAF's production budget was only $25 Million.

Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack (October 21st): ... Impossible. It will not avoid massive financial losses. The $35 to $40 Million Domestic Opening Weekend that the one honest article about this movie being a flop predicted isn't even what happened. As you can see in earlier posts, this movie is lucky if it grosses $24 to $25 Million Domestic. ... And then, Variety further runs defense for Killers by stating the following: Quote:For what it’s worth, “Flower Moon” is tracking ahead of the opening for Scorsese’s last Leonardo DiCaprio collaboration “The Wolf of Wall Street.” That sprawling comedy debuted with $18 million in late December, but rode the holiday season and awards buzz to a $116 million finish in North America. The Wolf on Wall Street made $18,410,067 on opening weekend, to be exact. It also went on to make $116,949,183 Domestically, and $389,816,136 Worldwide by the end of its run. This was back in 2013, a FULL 10 YEARS AGO. With inflation, $18,410,067 in 2023 is $24,323,871.41 today. $116,949,183 in 2013 is $154,516,379 today. $389,816,136 in 2023 is $515,035,473.00 today. The Wolf on Wall Street was a half a BILLION Dollar movie in 2023 dollars. BEST CASE SCENARIO, Killers matches on opening weekend what The Wolf on Wall Street made when inflation is taken into account. Oh... and what was the Production Budget for Wolf? $100,000,000. $132,122,666, actually, when taking inflation into account. Still INSANELY expensive for what it was, but back then a studio only needed to do 2 times the budget to break even, and with $515 Million worldwide, it made $254 Million more than the $264 Million break even point. And Wolf did MASSIVE numbers internationally. The $116,949,183 it made in the US was only 30% of the Worldwide take. 70% of this movies income was outside of the US! There is no way that is happening with Killers internationally. The Wolf on Wall Street resonated so well with people around the world because of the disproportionate power that Wall Street has over the world economy, and we were just finally overcoming the last huge market meltdown and worldwide recession by 2013. Nobody outside of the US is going to give a single shit about an FBI drama that takes place in Oklahoma in 1920. It's not as if nobody is going to go see it. I'm sure that life-long Scorsese and DiCaprio fans outside of the US are happy to see another collab between them. But we're talking maybe 25%-30% of its worldwide take being international for Killers when compared to Wolf's 70%.
Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: Blue Beetle makes only $82 Million worldwide in first 10 days. After 10 days, The Flash had already made $87 Million in the US alone. And where Blue Beetle has a 56% Domestic vs. 44% International take, The Flash ended its run with a 40% Domestic vs 60% International take, so it's likely The Flash had already made over $200 Million of its $268 Million total by day 10. After 10 Days, Shazam II came just $400k shy of where Blue Beetle stands Domestically right now. The only difference is that Shazam II has the numbers flipped and ended with a 44% Domestic vs. 56% International take.

Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack (October 28th) RE: Five Nights at Freddy's: ... So it's almost halfway there to the $85 Million high-end prediction that Bruce put out last night since Thursday Preview night counts for that. I think it easily has another $40 Million for Saturday and Sunday with $29 Million+ on Friday night. $85 Million shouldn't be too hard. ... I think it's quite possible it makes $90 to $95 Million. That's not a prediction, but I'm saying based off of Thursday and Friday numbers coupled with the high audience score that it is in the realm of possibility. I'd call that one a coin flip. If it somehow manages that, it will make the all-time top 100 Opening Weekend list. EDITED TO ADD: This could be a heavily front-loaded movie though. There is a large fanbase for the videogame franchise that may have already seen it. It might get a huge drop instead of a normal Friday/Saturday/Sunday pattern. I just found out that they decided to stream it at the same time too... So, that's both good and bad news for FNAF. It managed an amazing opening night despite already being available to stream at home, but because it can be streamed at home that's going to hurt its longer-term chances. I have no idea why they would do that knowing full well this one was going to make money in the theaters.

Quote:5. After next weekend, FNAF will land somwhere in the bottom half of the Top 10, pushing out Miles Morales 2. When this happens, not one single movie in the Top 10 will be a comic book property and 6 of the Top 10 will be Horror movies. 10 of the Top 20 are currently Horror movies already, and Miles Morales is the only Comic Book movie in the Top 20.
Quote:7. Hollywood, as a whole, has only made 268% of its combined Production Budget back on the Top 100 movies of 2023, barely eeking past the 2.5x RoT. 8. Even with 2.5x RoT considered, Universal has made a monsterous $1.45 BILLION, Warner Bros. has made $800 MILLION, Sony Pictures has made $525 MILLION. If it weren't for these three as well as Angel Studios, A24 and United Artists, Hollywood would be underwater as of November this year. 9. With only $1.2 BILLION in total profit out of the $14.5 BILLION Hollywood has made so far this year, it's very unlikely that Hollywood will actually post a loss for the year overall. But there are a few major flops still coming down the pike. Hollywood almost certainly won't even be able to claim that they've made over $1 BILLION in profits in 2023 despite having grossed well over $15 BILLION in box office receipts. Time to start trimming those budgets.

Quote:In the early days of its release, Five Nights has already proven its expected front-loaded nature. Free availability on Peacock’s streaming service won’t help matters on that end, either, as spooky season winds down following Halloween on Tuesday. The film’s 28 percent critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes likely won’t motivate adults or stragglers to take a chance on the film.
Quote:Also, when adding just the Domestic take from Monday and Tuesday this week, FNAF rises from 531% to 590%. That doesn't bring it above 13th place yet since it needs to do more than Missing's 644% for another spot on the chart. It won't get that until probably Friday night. My guess it goes into the weekend around 620% to 625%. After the Weekend Domestic comes in, it should be somewhere in the area of 780% (8th place). Add in the international take and it should end this weekend somewhere above 880% (still 8th place).

Seriously. Stop simping for this film. You're just shooting your credibility to shit. It lost 60% on the 2nd weekend, and it's lost more than 50% on average so far this week. It just made $1.2 Million on Cheap Seat Tuesday when FNAF made $5 Million, and that's coming off a 2nd weekend where it only eeked out $9 Million Domestic while adding only $8 Million international for the entire previous week. It has zero overlapping movies as competition right now with 5 of the daily top 10 being horror flicks, 2 of them being kids movies, one being a sci-fi movie and the last one being an Angel Studios flick that' isn't going to gross 1/10th of what Sound of Freedom did. This movie is dead. Though you correctly label it a flop even if it makes $200 Million, but it will never make $200 Million. Absolute best case scenario it makes $150 Million worldwide, and I suspect that after next weekend's numbers clear that $150 Million will be viewed as an impossibility. -------------------------------------------------- Political correctness is just tyranny, with a smiley face.

Quote:Also, when adding just the Domestic take from Monday and Tuesday this week, FNAF rises from 531% to 590%. That doesn't bring it above 13th place yet since it needs to do more than Missing's 644% for another spot on the chart. It won't get that until probably Friday night. My guess it goes into the weekend around 620% to 625%.
