WEEKEND BOX OFFICE PREDICTIONS January 27-29

Posted January 26, 2012 by Mitch Metcalf

>The fourth weekend of the year should generate about $91 million for the top 12 films — about the same as last year’s comparable weekend and down 10% from a “normal” weekend this time of year.  The top film should be Liam Neeson in The Grey, at a very unspectacular $15 opening weekend number.   […]

Posted December 28, 2013 by Mitch Salem

Behind the US/Worldwide Weekend Box Office – 3.17.2019

Posted March 17, 2019 by Mitch Salem

  OPENINGS:  For a movie aimed at children that isn’t a frontloaded franchise installment, WONDER PARK (Nickelodeon/Paramount) had an unimpressive 19% Saturday bump, and it emerged with a $16M weekend that won’t do it much good against production/marketing costs in the neighborhood of $200M–especially with Disney’s Dumbo just 2 weeks away.  The initial overseas results […]
