So even though it made more than I thought it would, it made WAY LESS than Bruce expected it to last night. And the preview to Friday ratio was quite a bit worse than Ride or Die's was, as I expected it would be. Also, Friday would be one of the two big days for the weekend for a movie like this. Horror movies make way for Children's fare on Sunday, typically. My guess is that it makes around $18-$20 Million today and $13-$15 Million on Sunday.

It will come nowhere close to Bruce's $69 Million, but it would appear that the other outfits claiming $50-$55 Million probably weren't that far off. Including the previews, it probably makes the high end of that prediction or even possibly a few million more.

No. Emily has nothing to do with this.

This is a prequel set in New York City. They probably could have made a horror movie with any generic monsters, but with the Quiet Place name attached they get to push the series in a "new direction" for "modern audiences" and get fans of the originals to show up for something only superficially related to the original material.

I had been under the impression that Emily was producer of Quiet Place franchise.
Same writers included for 1, 2, 3. Including John Krasinski.
Krasinski also Producer of 1, 2, 3.

Krasinski is husband of Emily. I guess you are saying that wives have no influence over their husbands, at all.
okay.



Anyway, what's the deal? They are supposed to make all of the quality films, with the white folk. Then Tyler Perry is supposed to do cheap remakes of good films, with only colored folk. So now Emily & John are stealing the thunder from Tyler?

Right now it's got $6.8 Million in previews, which is even more than the $6.6 Million that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes got, and even more than Bad Boys: Ride or Die got. This makes it the 5th highest preview night in the US in 2024.

I'm calling it right now that this movie will break the 2024 Preview Night / Worldwide Gross rule. There's no way this movie is making more money than Planet of the Apes or Bad Boys does.

It's summer. It's a PG-13 rated horror flick and the kids didn't have to go to school in the morning. I doubt very much that preview number means what you think it means in relation to other preview numbers so far this year.

It's already happening.

After Day One made $6.8 Million in previews, it only made $5,138,666 on its first Monday.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die made $5.875 Million in previews but it made $6,217,847 on its first Monday.


Why am I better at this than people who claim this is what they do for a living?

Bad Boys is still making money as we speak, but I don't believe it needs any further buffer to beat Day One. I doubt very much that Day One will reach $300 Million globally before its run is over.

Not. A. Chance.

I doubt it even sees $169 Million in the US.

Current Day One US Box Office: $132,139,330

Bruce's original prediction was $169 Million, and he had raised it in his articles to quite a bit above that, especially when he high-balled opening weekend numbers.

As I said, it will not make his lower initial $169 Million prediction. It's already had 29 days in theaters, and it would need to have another 37 days straight without being dropped from theaters at over $1 Million per day to hit that number. 37 more days in theaters is highly unlikely. Over $1 Million per day is impossible since we've already seen 4 of the last 5 days under $1 Million and those numbers are only going to be reduced by half every week until it drops out of the box office.

This won't even see $150 Million. It very good chance it won't even see $145 Million. There's a small chance it might not even break $140 Million in the US.
