It will probably dip below $300 per theater on average during its second week. Something that didn't happen to Episode 9 until Week Four and Joker until Week Five.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
Wednesday, February 19th's estimates are in.
Total gross: $1,010,000
Per Theater Average: $238
Well.... That took a whole 13 days.
It should also be noted that yesterday likely marks the last day that BoP even clears a million dollars outside of a weekend and possibly Deal Tuesday (if they're lucky).
Thursday night will be the first sub $1 Million night for BoP. (Day 14)
That's something that Episode 9 didn't accomplish until Day 33.
And it took Joker until Day 40 to reach that milestone.

All of these youtubers that made a living off of SJW idiocy are going to be out of jobs soon when the woke culture dies off.
Maybe they can all come work overnights stocking shelves with me. That will be fun. Just me and the two Jeremys, Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn. All working for a manager that's 10 years younger than any of us.
I'll show them all what the Patriarchy is really like.

My observation of the criticism about Harley Quinn BOP is that mostly, it's a lame movie. The story isn't compelling or all that interesting.
Secondly, the Birds of Prey aren't respectful of the comic book versions. They come off more as unsexy Cosplay impersonations of BoP. Again, a lack of respect for the 'source material ', by the director, the writers, and actors.
Thirdly, is the SJW nonsense. As much as was talked about how 'woke' and feminist this movie is, it certainly isn't wall to wall misandry. Ewen McGreggor should have kept his big mouth shut about how it's a smack down for misogynist. Much like Tim Miller in Terminator Dark Fate said, before the movie. The woke message isn't what anyone wants to hear. It's not why we buy tickets.

I actually have kind of tuned out of a lot of the criticism these days. It's just not that much fun anymore. Hollywood elites and SJW culture is really hurting right now (and that's undeniably a great thing), but watching guys on youtube say the same thing about every movie (for at least 10 minutes long for maximum ad revenue) is just really getting boring to me.
I'm not saying that they should stop (because I think it's good that constant opposition to this bullshit exists), and I'm not saying that nobody should watch it, but just making an observation that quite a few channels on youtube have "made" themselves because of this phenomena. I doubt very much that many of them will still exist once things change (and they will change, eventually).

At the end of the day though, name five comic book movies that are interesting. The genre is borderline garbage. If we didn't have special effects as advanced as we do now, they wouldn't be doing them. CGI carries 90% of 90% of these movies.
Joker doesn't count. It's a comic book movie in name only, and not comparable to a single other movie in the genre.

Well... this is a problem. At least for people who like to make money. The old adage is that Sex Sells. It always has. It always will. This goes for men and women as well. So when you de-sexualize everybody, especially in an R rated movie geared toward adults, don't be surprised when nobody comes out to see it.
And whatever you do, don't come out on Twitter after the fact and berate men for not coming to see your super woke flick with everybody wearing potato sacks on what we know are amazing bodies underneath them. Especially when out of the other side of your mouth you're talking about casting one of the "boys" who was making young teenage girls leave stains on their theater chairs during Twilight shows (true story) as the new Batman.

This is arguably the most important thing right here. Warner, Disney and all the other ones making these movies and TV shows need to put a muzzle on their "talent" and tell them to keep politics out of their interviews and off of their Twitter feed.
Disney/Marvel is making this mistake right now, and I'm already predicting a huge upcoming box office failure when they put out She Hulk. (I'm sure you've already heard about this, but if not, look it up).

Thursday nights estimates are in: $990,000
Whoopsie!
Per theater average: $234.
There's basically nothing coming out this weekend that's going to be a threat to anything already in the theaters. "Call of the Wild" would have been it, but it looks like that's underperforming.
That being said, I think that everybody is making a big mistake only removing 671 of the total 4,236 theaters showing BoP for next week. That's only a 16% drop.
It will be enough of a cut to keep BoP from dipping into double digit per theater averages for Week Three, but not sub $200.
This will make BoP's first sub $200 likely on Monday, the 24th (Week Three, Day 18 = 3,565 Theaters).
Episode 9's first sub $200: (January 23, 2020 - Week Five, Day 35 = 3,058 Theaters)
Joker's first sub $200: (November 18, 2019 - Week Seven, Day 46 = 2,337 Theaters)

lol... Just barely cracks a million on it's 4th Friday.
This woke turd will be kicked out of theaters with a 10 week run.
Comically, it's STILL being shown i 3,124 theaters this week, only being slashed by 341 theaters last week. There's almost zero chance it won't dip under $100 per theater by Thursday.
Comparatively speaking:
Episode 9's 4th week Theaters: 4,279
Episode 9's lowest 4th week per theater average: $252
Joker's 4th week Theaters: 3,936
Joker's lowest 4th week per theater average: $414

Hey, they have to show something on those screens.
Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen
I'm just a red pill guy in a room full of blue pill addicts.

Wolverine and Cyclops, two of the few remaining white male characters in Marvel or DC comics are now having gay sex on the moon.
Here's me, looking forward to when the movie flops.
Seriously... is anyone even buying this shit anymore?
Gamestop doesn't think so.
