Good point. That's probably a lock. I'll update.

[Skitch]

What? Why does trans have 200 more than his scoreboard lol

Edit: nm I see now

[Skitch]

So...if Alita ends around 80, and Madea ends around 58, and Us can bring in around 50...

I'll finish at about 805. Wow I need a boost somewhere. Come on Us!

[Dukefrukem]

Us might clear 100

[Skitch]

Us might clear 100

Oh shit thats the Jordan Peele movie! I thought it was something else. Alright, I have hope again!

[Spinal]

100% on the Tomatometer with 41 reviews in. Excellent trailer. I don't see why it can't match Get Out's success.

[Ezee E]

Us will probably get $60-$80 right out of the gate I think.

[Henry Gale]

I remember Us felt like a steal at the time, though a part of me worried Universal would delay it to play in a bigger season (it didn't have a trailer until Christmas day, remember). But nope! Can't wait!

[Dukefrukem]

Yeh, no way I'm getting $170 million out of Captive State and Nancy Drew.

[Spinal]

I'm not sure what's going on with the Nancy Drew movie. Apparently it opened in at least a few places last week, but Box Office Mojo doesn't have numbers for it yet. That does not tend to be a good sign.

[Dukefrukem]

Oh good. Big fat goose egg.

[Ezee E]

I may even beat Duke with the $200 Dumbo.

[Skitch]

Wooo, Us! (U-S-eh! U-S-eh!)

I expected big things but not more than double Get Out's opening weekend and the 2nd biggest opening for an original live-action movie ever (the first being Avatar, apparently).

So if I'm calculating this right, I just need it to make $169 million in these first four weeks to catch up to Drago for 1st place!

Peele's last movie only dipped -15% in Weekend 2, and since Us is already clearly a bigger and more divisive beast, that won't be repeated, but maybe its bigger initial success can still propel enough word of mouth for a very solid number? We shall see!

[Edited to fix the box office record.]

[Spinal]

Yeah, it's going to make my final score respectable, although I still can't catch the leader.

[Skitch]

I'm also cheering loudly for Us!! Go Us!!

[Ivan Drago]

O_O

..........GO WONDER PARK AND CAPTIVE STATE!!!!

*realizes they're both bombing hardcore*

I think Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase went straight to on demand.

[Lazlo]

I think Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase went straight to on demand.

Weird there's no data on it; it definitely played in theaters here in Charlotte for at least a couple weeks. Seems to be gone now though. Not sure how to handle it here.

Side note: I spent the night in Charlotte last night.
