Nope. This is all news to me. I don't follow Trump on Truth Social. I don't go to church. I don't watch religious flicks. And I don't take anything somebody says that is hyper-religious like this seriously.

I've never seen Passion of the Christ. I did see Jim Cavezel in a remake of the TV show The Prisoner once. He's a good actor. I don't imagine we'd have a very interesting conversation in real life though. I tend to shut religious people talking about religion down very quickly.


I just love seeing a movie with a $14 Million budget destroy Hollywood, and then I get a double dose of entertainment when the people who hate on it are all pedophile groomer Democrats.

You should sit this one out and just let Hollywood take the L this time, son.

Saturday/Sunday Numbers:

1. M3GAN - 1,475% [FINAL]
2. Super Mario Bros - 1,357% (-1%)
3. Sound of Freedom - 1,271% (+14%)
4. Insidious: The Red Door - 1,163% (+0%)
5. Talk to Me - 956% (+67%)
6. Barbie - 846% (+10%)


SoF needs 87% to beat SMB. (About $12 Million)
SoF needs 204% to beat M3GAN. (About $29 Million)
SoF is 315% above Talk to Me.
SoF is 425% above Barbie.


Sound of Freedom impresses me yet again. According to projections, it still made over a million on Saturday, and then made enough on Sunday to get a percentage boost both days. I truly did not see that one coming. Leaves it at about a $400k deficit for rounding on Monday though, so it won't see another one until Tuesday. Maybe even Wednesday, if it can't make $900k in two week days anymore. But for the first time we may start seeing some international numbers out of South Africa.

SoF breaks the 100% barrier and now only needs 87% more vs. Production Budget to beat Super Mario Bros., and that's still without any International numbers. It needs to make just a little more than twice its Production Budget to take first place for 2023 over M3GAN.

Oh... and I neglected to put Talk To Me above Barbie when it got there. Can't even remember what day now that it happened, but it happened before the weekend.

6ix and JewelStaiteFan and every Trumptard I know just so happen to have the same obsession with Sound of Freedom. You Trumptards are so full of bullshit that your lives fall apart and you have to find scapegoats like Woke/Disney/Hollywood and leaders like Mein Führer Donald Trump to give your shapeless lives readymade enemies, structure, and purpose.

Cope. Loser.

I haven't even watched Sound of Freedom, so I guess I'm a bad cultist.

Get fucked, pedophile.

I fully expect most folk will not have interest in this, but I think it is curious. Not only because Sound of Freedom is such a wonderful film, but also because it is breaking the mold, much like Maverick did last year.

Barbie has been benefitting from strong summer weekday sales, which SMB did not have. (SMB is a Seth Rogan film?) SoF has had strong Saturday and Sunday figures, the days when honest working folk are not working.

Over the weekend, Barbie made 53.0% of it's Production Budget. Sound of Freedom made 54.0% of it's Production Budget.

I m using $14M as the Production Budget figure for Sof, and $100M for Barbie. Barbie's international balances may bounce around, but this table is using the stated observation of 47.5% Domestic and 52.5% International.

All figures not tagged with % are Millions of Dollars.
For Barbie figures, the same figures are both $Millions, but also % of Production Budget.
1st column is Date.
2nd column is SoF Single Day BO.
3rd column is Single Day BO % of Budget.
4th and 5th are Total Cummulative Box Office, and then % of Budget.
6th and 7th are Last 7 Days of Box Office, and then % of Budget. All for Sound of Freedom.
8th column is Barbie single Day Domestic Box Office.
9th column is the % of Budget gain on SoF % for the same day.
10th column is the Total of Barbie's Domestic Box Office.
11th column is the total of the Last 7 Days of Barbie's Domestic Box Office.
12th is the % gain on SoF for the same Last 7 Day period.
13th column - 18th columns are the same things, but for Worldwide Box Office.

Updating, uing Talk To Me projection figures for the weekend:

They just turned black for the weekend.
Sunday SoF jumped up to highest take per screen, beating Indy5 and Red Door. It was estimated behind Red Door.

Also, every single day since release, SoF has more $ per screen that Indy5.
Even when it added more than 13% more theaters for the weekend.

If trends continue, I expect SoF to gain another 50% this week (end 20 Aug), and another 30% the next week (end 27 Aug), making it about 1315%.
Using Oppy as a guide, 1/5 of the International Box Office comes from UK, Australia, Mexico. i expect $18M from these 3, which would make it about 1445% when these are tallied. Australia starts trickling in after 24 Aug, and UK/Mexico after 1 Sep.

I do understand that Barbie has a Production Budget of $145M. However, my other table is done to show the numerical trends I had noticed, and I will continue that without changing the denominator, to demonstrate the trend.
If Barbie had continued the trend, I had seen that Barbie would overtake SoF in 2 weeks, and then 2 weeks later would fall below SoF again. That would be IF the summer weekdays continued past 20 Aug, and SoF had no Box office from International.

----------------------------
Bruce's predictions for the weekend do not show SoF in the Top Ten.

Topsy turvy figures at The Numbers this weekend.
SoF was showing Friday and Sat theater counts the same as last week, then dropped to about 2,100 on Sunday.
Currently listing 2,152 for Friday; 1,501 for Saturday; and 2,152 for Sunday.

Today is the 49th day of release for SoF. 7 weeks. Saturday was showing more theater count than in it's opening days. Although practically at the bottom of the 11 wide-release films, still bouncing up to 9th place (Sunday). And more than 4 times the Box Office of the next tier, the 12th place film. And hitting 8th place for $ per theater (Saturday).

For the weekend, SoF came in at 10th., just ahead of Bram Stoker's Ship. And just below Dead Reckoning - which is still $13M behind in Dom BO.

I don't expect South Africa figures to show up soon. But I would not be surprised to see Australia figures next Monday.

NOTE: I doubt I'll get to updating the 4 lists and the Disney list tonight, so when I get to it this week it may already have Monday's numbers baked in as well. Hopefully I get to them early enough tomorrow if I don't get to them tonight.

Post-Weekend Numbers with International:

1. M3GAN - 1,475% [FINAL]
2. Super Mario Bros - 1,357% (0%)
3. Sound of Freedom - 1,271% (+0%)
4. Insidious: The Red Door - 1,163% (+0%)
5. Talk to Me - 956% (+0%)
6. Barbie - 883% (+37%)

SoF needs 87% to beat SMB. (About $12 Million)
SoF needs 204% to beat M3GAN. (About $29 Million)
SoF is 315% above Talk to Me.
SoF is 388% above Barbie.

No international numbers for Sound of Freedom yet.

I'm not sure if there were internationals added for Talk To Me yet. It didn't go up a percentage from yesterday, but since I round to the nearest Million and don't keep track of dollar amounts on the daily updates, I have no way of telling if it doesn't go up.

Even though Insidious didn't go up any points, I'm pretty sure that international numbers did come in for that movie now. It's just over $186 Million right now, and I do believe I've been rounding up to $186 for quite a while up until today.

08/21/2022 LISTS:

*Yes. I'm updating these a day late, but very few movies have added Monday's projections as I started this, and since they're rounded numbers they're easy to remove from the total, so the lists will still reflect the after-weekend totals as per usual.

Funny. It never bothered you when all of your guys were partying with Epstein.

Also. 1992. Epstein didn't buy his island full of underage girls that your pedophile Democrat politicians diddled until 1998.

Google it, retard.
