Grosses haven’t changed seismically from yesterday in what is hopefully the last less-than-$70M weekend for a while. Paramount’s Bob Marley: One Love is coming in at $13.5M, -53%, for a $71.1M total by EOD.

‘Conjuring 3’ Scares ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ From Top Position at the BO!!

It use to be that the studios would space their horror movies apart on the schedule. It’s not usual that one would open up immediately after the other for fear of cannibalizing the same audience. That didn’t happen this weekend as New Line’s The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It opened to $24M, while Paramount’s second weekend of A Quiet Place Part II took in $19.5M. … Continue reading ‘Conjuring 3’ Scares ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ From Top Position at the BO!!

‘Spiral’ Leads Slow Weekend at the BO!!

At a time when the box office looked to be making progress, especially with No. 2 chain Regal reopening more theaters, it was a downer of a weekend. Lionsgate’s R-rated Spiral: From The Book of Saw, starring Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson, came in with $8.7M, under the $10M-$15M many were hoping for. This despite the fact that it’s the 6th No. 1 opening … Continue reading ‘Spiral’ Leads Slow Weekend at the BO!!
