Monday: $48k (57% drop)
Cheap Seat Tuesday: $69k (58% drop)

No numbers for Wednesday yet, but I'm going to guess $43k and somewhere in the low to mid $30k's for Thursday.

It's at $2.3 Million now, with a weekend between $120k and $200k ahead of it. Maybe less if it loses a lot of theaters.


I don't think there's any chance even with the few international countries that are screening it that it's going to come close to Bruce's original prediction of $4.26 Million in the US for its worldwide total.

It's lucky if it ends up grossing $2.75 Million in the US.


Even with the very low expectations predicted before release, this thing bombed just about as hard as any movie could ever bomb. I'd love to see the production budget numbers on it, but we're never going to see those.

The Lodge of Black Wizards loses 1,001 theaters and will only be shown in 152 theaters this week.

It probably won't even hit $2.5 Million in the US now.

LOL...

$17k on Friday night. That's an 86% drop from last weekend and a 51% drop from Thursday night. Even though it was reduced to only 152 theaters it only grossed $112 per theater.



It's at $2.412 Million right now. Can it live to see $2.5 Million in the States?

Well...

It's at exactly $2,480,645 right now and I don't see it at all on Bruce's theater count list from Thursday.

We'll see what happens. Bruce doesn't always list all the counts for movies every week and some have popped up again even after he neglected to list them for the upcoming week.

According to Fandango, it's only available at home now:

I couldn't find any listings for showtimes at Cinemark or AMC Theaters either.

I think my prediction looks pretty good. Just less than $20k shy of $2.5 Million in the US.

What happened to the wide release of the updated (racist) Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead?

It was supposed to come out on April 12th, but there's no box office data for it on any site. People have seen the movie and given it reviews. A simple google search shows reviews at RogerEbert.com, Variety, The Guardian and some others. It's got 58% with 24 Critics and 64% with less than 50 in both the verified and all audience counts.

The last we'd even heard mention of it at The-Numbers was on the Upcoming Release page for the 12th. Now all there is for the movie is a relatively blank page for it without any data.

2024)#tab=summary


I don't think this got a wide release. Bruce has said that showing in 600 or more theaters is considered Wide, even though most blockbusters would start with somewhere close to 4,000 if not above 4,000 theaters.

If there were more than 600 theaters showing this, we should have had financial data for it a week after it opened.



A search for showtimes near me is odd. It doesn't appear that it's even showing anywhere near me in Indiana. I'd have to drive at least 30 or 40 miles to see it. They have showings in Chicago, Kankakee and Oswego, Illinois.

Any idea what happened to Sting?

Seems like a single night of Box office, on the 12th.

I didn't even know about this one.

Looks like it got two weekends in the theater, although Bruce doesn't have any daily information about it.

Are we absolutely sure this movie has even come out????

Zero Box Office info on either The-Numbers or BoxOfficeMojo 15 days after its alleged release.


And we even got two weekends of box office info on the Australian made Sting that JSF brought up.
