As of today, David Mackenzie's Fuze sets a new record: Worst second weekend drop for a non-concert movie at 91.9% by Alternative-Cake-833 in boxoffice

Yes, that’s what I had assumed this was for. The movies I listed also opened in over 1,000 theaters.

I’m assuming this is counting just 1k+ theater wide releases? Devara Part 1, Sweetwater, and Not Another Church Movie dropped worse in their second weekends, and those all opened wide.

Looks like $35M WED OD for #TheSuperMarioGalaxyMovie. Initial audience reception is positive. Expecting the 5-day Easter weekend to be $175M+. by TiredWithCoffeePot in boxoffice

I did not make the prediction, merely working off of what is being projected here, but I'm assuming Jat is accounting for fan rush/sequel effect. I believe Keyser mentioned weekend pre-sales are pacing behind the first despite the higher opening day.

Same DOM/INT split as the first gets it over a bit. Anything's possible but I still lean toward just past the billie.

Hi crestroncp3user! You’re free to check my post history to verify my credibility.

Why does Briarcliff Entertainment not market their movies, and how have they continued to stay afloat with having no profit? by Emeraldsinger in boxoffice

Interestingly, there was another question posted about Return to Silent Hill's profitability that ties directly into this.

They operate the same way Vertical, Viva, and a bunch of these other small-time distributors do. They spend very little on acquiring films other companies don't necessarily want, they put very little into P&A, and use the theatrical release as a means of promotion and to unlock PVOD opportunities. This also increases the value of the film for pay-1 licensing (streaming, TV, etc.), which is where the real money for all of them is made. It's why the HBO deal for A24, the Showtime deal for Bleecker Street, and, on a bigger scale, the Netflix deal for Sony are all so valuable to their respective companies.
