Ouch...
Very doubtful that it even reaches $2 Million with that opening, so I think Bruce's "hunch" was wrong here. I doubt that it even hits the $1.97 Million his computer model came up with.
$1.25 Million opening weekend is the projections.
Very, very, very bad.
Can we stop doing this now, Hollywood?
Or do you still need to learn your lesson?

Don't be surprised if there's a 70 to 80% drop off next weekend

Oh, I won't be.
Bruce's model came up with 1.97 Million opening weekend and only $4.26 Million US box office total before it was kicked out of theaters. That's 63.45% of what the model thought it would do. Carry that over to the US total and you get $2.7 Million US total.
I'm looking forward to watching this think make less than $100k every day this week, maybe even including cheap seat Tuesday.
Even Book Club: Part 2 made $29 Million for Focus Features last year. And a movie about Woody Harrelson coaching a bunch of retarded kids made almost $20 Million.

Honestly, I think this movie would have been pretty funny in the 90's. Especially when all of Steven King's magical negros from his made for TV movies and Michael Clarke Duncan were still alive and could have all made appearances in it. But it's not funny anymore in 2023.
No thanks, Hollywood. Imma stay at home that night and watch Black Knight for the 5th time instead.
Plus, 2 dead links.
A thread without a topic.

Anyhow, I didn't see any preview info about the gay dude pretending to be a straight dude with the lead babe. Your info cancelled my plans to see it last weekend.

Best review I've seen for this movie was on Reddit by Leesha266

This movie pisses me off so badly. I really defended the title before we had a trailer because I was expecting it to deconstruct the trope. Then the trailer came out, and I saw a lightskin man burning everything down for a mid white woman
Like ordering Hancock from Temu

I'm absolutely amazed by the fact this trash pulled in $112k on Monday. It will have done more than that on Cheap Seat Tuesday. It's about a coin flip that it doesn't reach $100k on Wednesday or Thursday.

$163k on Cheap Seat Tuesday.
$106k on Wednesday.
$79k on Thursday.

Ooofffffff....
Good call.
It only brought in $120k on its 2nd Friday. That's absolutely abysmal when they brought in $112k on Monday and $163k on Cheap Seat Tuesday. Especially when you take into account that it actually added 6 theaters since opening weekend. And it IS a pure 77% drop from opening Friday since there were no Thursday night previews for this one.
It appears to be getting a release in the UK and Germany late next month. I don't know if it will screen anywhere else internationally.
There's zero chance it hits the $4.26 Million that Bruce's model came up with. Depending on how early it gets yanked from US theaters it may not even hit that $2.7 Million figure I came up with for the US total either.
This movie probably ends up costing Focus Features in the area of $30 to $45 Million. Probably on the low end of that since I'll bet their marketing costs are much smaller in proportion to the larger studios, and also the theater takes are a lot smaller when you're talking about a 50% cut of almost nothing.
We'll probably only ever be able to speculate because I'm pretty sure that the production budget figures for this movie is are buried where nobody will ever find them.

$440k projected for 2nd weekend... a 66% drop, with 6 more theaters showing it than opening weekend.
$1.884 Million in total now.
Next weekend it will drop to $140k if it's lucky. Every day this week will be well below $100k, even cheap seat Tuesday.
What is the UK and Germany's current toleration level for woke trash in Spring of 2024? We'll find out if it's enough to get this movie over $3 Million worldwide before it's over.
