Quote

Some parts of the weekend box office are alive, and some are dead, and that which is vibrant is Paramount’s second weekend of Smile, which — as we mentioned during the weekend preview — was apt to steal No. 1 away from newcomers Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile and Amsterdam. 

The Parker Finn R-rated horror film is set to post one of the best holds ever for a horror movie at an amazing -26%, after 2017’s Get Out, which eased -15% with $16.8M. Some rivals think Smile could shine as bright as $18M. This puts the 10-day total at $49M.

New Regency/20th Century Studios/Disney’s Amsterdam is still DOA with $2.6M Friday, including previews, and an estimated $6.9M third place debut. The Russell fans who showed up gave the movie a B CinemaScore (Russell’s Oscar nominated all-star American Hustle earned a B+) and harsher reactions on PostTrak at 3 Stars and 72%. Pic skewed toward men at 56%, with the largest demo being 25-34 at 37%. Diversity demos were 57% Caucasian, 17% Latino and Hispanic, 12% Black, and 14% Asian/other. Men over 25 at 47% and women over 25 at 37% gave Amsterdam its best response at 75%. But the rest of the audience wasn’t on board, i.e. men and women under 25, who each showed up at 9% respectively and gave the movie a 61% and 55% grade.

Woah I didn’t expect Smile to hold that strong. It’s doing amazing. Guess the viral marketing finally worked

How is Amsterdam's estimate still going down, I- 

Smile coming for $100M+, amazing. Woman King having a stellar hold too. Should challenge for $70M domestic.

Cats?

 

OT: Smiles performance was so unexpected. The marketing and WOM did its job. The movie deserves...its really good.

 

Guess Billy's rant did a number on Bros. It probably would've did better if he kept his mouth shut.

[Happylittlepunk]

Some pop girls are not meant for Hollywood. 

[Jude]

Katy did that.

Amsterdam only doing 2M more than Bros in its debut with 80M budget 

 

Truly the box office bomb of the year 

[rta1913]

64% drop for Bros

 

It’s not even going to get to 20M domestic. It’s sad cause it’s actually a funny and charming movie. 
 

I blame Billy. Hopefully Luke can still get some roles. He’s white, hot and straight-passing so he’ll be fine.

Uni should just put it on rental next week, WOM might do wonders since I heard it’s a well reviewed movie 

 

theres really no shame on streaming tbh A listers have been on streaming for years now

We HAVE to stan Smile’s retention. 
 

Amsterdam and Bros 

[Jessie]

Smile grossing as much in its second weekend as it was predicted to do in its first and having the best hold for a horror movie since Get Out — and to think it was originally going to go straight to streaming 

 

It will have more direct competition in the next few weeks particularly from Halloween Ends so it will be fun to see if it can leg its way to $100m+ when all is said and done.

[FightForTanas]

Woman King.  

[Jynx]

Bros $670K (-64%). A total box office bomb.

Horror movies have been so well this decade.  

Highest grossing horror films of 2020s: 

1. A Quiet Place Part II - 297m 

2. The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It - 206m

3. Nope - 170m
4. The Black Phone- 161m
5. The Invisible Man - 144m
6. Scream - 140m
7. Halloween Kills - 131m
8. Candyman - 77m
9. Smile - 52m
10. The Grudge - 49m

Smile should easily end up Top 5. The gross of A Quiet Place Part II is so impressive considering it was released at the height of the pandemic.

Bros 

[Smarticle]

Shawn Mendes ended Amsterdam like that

[Uncatena]

The director of Amsterdam who shall not be named flopping into oblivion AND being panned  a moment most pleasing to me

[Johnny Jacobs]

I'm going to see it with my boyfriend tomorrow  it looks like a really good movie and it screams theatre.. 

 

Why every taylor movie is flopping?  she needs someone to pick her the good ones

[ConceptD]

Paramount are really killing it on the horror front this year. It’s good to see. It feels like horror and marvel are really the only types of films getting success now. 

[Gossip_Boy]

Excellent for Smile. I said in another thread last week or so that I wasn’t impressed by the trailer at all but I actually liked it a lot. A decent popcorn horror movie.

 

2022 has been one of, if not the best year for horror in my lifetime (I’m 25), and I feel like we’re on a brick of a horror renaissance which very exciting.
