Wow, I guess Bad Moms must resonate with a lot of moms.  Which I am not so I've never been interested in seeing the movies.

Very interested in this, I like Greta Gerwig and it sound like she made a hell of a directing debut.

It's so much more than the others I'm not sure how that's possible.

Compared to the others this week?  Or the year?  Here's a list of Top Specialty Box Office Per Theater Averages of all time. Lady Bird is #33 on the list with $93,903.  The Big Sick, which held the top PTA for most of this year, is at #41 with $84,315. 

There are a few things that can influence the PTA number. Bigger theaters can sell more tickets.  So if a movie has 4 theaters that have 100 seats, and another movie opens in 4 theaters with 50 seats, the 100-seater is going to have a higher average even if both movies sell out all their showings. Shorter movies can have more show times.  At about 90 minutes, Lady Bird can probably max out screenings.

And it also has to be a movie people really really want to see.  The movie has been getting great reviews.  I think Greta Gerwig, the director, has a fan base in the indie community.

So that's why there can be such a discrepency.

It's like @IRLANDESA said, movies like that get more showtimes in bigger theaters.  Reposting my post back from when La La Land opened last year, to give a sense of how an acclaimed limited releases can be shown in its opening weekends:

On 12/8/2016 at 9:48 PM, Dejana said:

People often wonder how movies make so much from a handful of theaters in limited release. La La Land comes out this weekend, and one of the theaters where it's playing is the ArcLight Hollywood, a multiplex showing it on multiple screens. Here are the showtimes listed for Saturday (remember, at one location):

8:00 AM, 8:30 AM, 9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 10:15 AM (DOME), 10:15 AM (two screens at the same time), 11:00 AM, 11:30 AM, 12:00 PM, 12:45 PM, 1:15 PM, 1:30 PM (DOME), 2:00 PM, 2:30 PM, 3:00 PM, 3:30 PM, 4:15 PM, 4:45 PM (DOME), 5:15 PM, 5:45 PM, 6:15 PM, 7:00 PM, 7:30 PM, 8:00 PM (DOME), 8:30 PM, 9:00 PM, 9:30 PM, 10:00 PM, 10:45 PM, 11:15 PM (DOME), 11:45 PM, 12:15 AM, 1:00 AM

The matinee price for an adult at that location is $15.75, the evening price $17.75, and its dome theater "seats more than 800 guests per showing". Basically, within those select two or four or five theaters, the indie/arthouse awards hopefuls are getting the Star Wars/Marvel treatment.

Well, the Bad Moms franchise is chugging along nicely. It won't make as much as much as the first one but a 3rd one is so happening.

[AshleyN]

Lady Bird is kind of killing it. I can't wait for it to come to my city. And that's a very good start for Three Billboards.

I haven't seen Murder on the Orient Express, and I know the reviews aren't very good, but I'm kind of excited to see it doing well, just because it seems like such a throwback to a kind of film Hollywood doesn't really make anymore.

[Dejana]

Amazing that we're at the point of a $96 million opening weekend being disastrous, but the latest DC Extended Universe team-up is way down from the opening of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($166M), which itself wasn't up to the opening weekends of Marvel's The Avengers ($207.4M) or Avengers: Age of Ultron ($191.2M).

Imagine if you had told someone ten years ago that a Justice League movie would open lower than The Avengers* second weekend? WB had a huge built-in-advantage just in terms of having three (arguably four, if you include The Flash) characters more famous and iconic than any of the heroes in The Avengers, but just dropped the ball so hard. Giving control of their entire DC universe to Zack Snyder even after Man of Steel's chilly reception was a questionable decision at the time, but sticking with him even after it became clear that Batman vs. Superman was a disaster is just baffling. I get that it would have meant delaying Justice League, but instead in their greed and impatience they've managed to turn their most valuable IP into a punchline. 

 

*An Avengers movie that was missing Spiderman, their most famous character!

This is kind of surprising. I liked Justice League much better than then Batman v Superman, and according to the reviews I've seen most people liked it in general.

Is it the fact that Thor: Ragnarok also released in the same month with only 1 week separating them? Are people saving money for Star Wars? I'm confused.

From what I heard, Justice League was a bit thumbs in the middle, and I've already seen three fairly average movies this year (For the curious: King Kong, Atomic Blonde, Valerian). No need for another one. I didn't see Thor either, as the trailers were completely offputting. No point in wasting time and money. I'm just one person, I don't claim to speak for the masses. But there you go.

I'm not terribly surprised. The thing is 96 million is a really good box office.  It indicates there is still a large group of core superhero-fan moviegoers who will go to see a movie  with a lot of superheroes in them.  But in order to set records, you need to have an excitement surrounding it that Justice League lacked.  Whether it's the sluggishness from the Batman v Superman movie, its rotten Rotten Tomatoes score or just an average B+ Cinemascore, that excitement just wasn't there.  So people who don't see every superhero movie were less likely to turn out to this one.  

The only reason $96 million is considered a disaster is because of how much the movie cost.  Just like Blade Runner. 

I do think there will be lessons here for the business to study about the ROI on special effects.  I think only James Cameron can get away with that.

I think it's a case of once bitten, twice shy. Being better than Batman v Superman may not have been enough for anyone who thought BvS was just awful. The publicity about concealing Justice League's Rotten Tomatoes score until Thursday couldn't have helped persuade moviegoers on the fence (WB owns a 30 percent stake in RT, but RT maintains the Tomatometer score was only held back from the site so it could exclusively debut on their new web show).  There was a lot of industry unhappiness expressed about the influence of Rotten Tomatoes this past summer and why it was to blame about the weak attendance.  This weekend probably won't help the case for limiting reviews until the last minute.

The Justice League estimates were a bit optimistic; the final weekend number was more than $2 million lower at $93,842,239. That's a big fall in attendance compared to Batman v Superman making $81,558,505 on its opening day alone, just last year.

It had a really weird marketing campaign. First it looked like a period piece. Then it looked like an eccentric fish out of water tale. And then Colin Farrell's character shows up and it looks mob movie. And all of that happened in a single trailer!

That being said, I don't think better marketing would have helped.

Originally, the movie was called Inner City but it got changed in June.  Is it better for a movie title to be generic or confusing? It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September to meh reviews:

Quote

Following its festival premiere, the film was re-edited to tighten its pacing, with a dozen minutes (including one whole subplot) being shaved off the final runtime, and a key scene regarding Colin Farrell's character being shifted from the third act to earlier in the film.

The studio obviously didn't know quite what to do or how to sell it on any level, really.

Based on the reviews of the movie I've seen, that's pretty much how the movie is too.  It's a mish mash of things.

I don't think he did this movie for the "hell of it."  Dan Gilroy wrote and directed this movie.  The last time Gilroy both wrote and directed a movie was Nightcrawler in 2014 which was a success with critics.  So it's likely Denzel thought the end product would be better than it ended up being based on the pedigree of the creatives.

It's the first live-action film that Julia Roberts has appeared in that grossed over a 100 million dollars in seven years, after Valentine's Day did back in 2010. Good for her.

Also, Lady Bird topped the 20 million mark! Always a milestone for an indie.

What a good start for the Disaster Artist!

[AshleyN]

That's a great start for The Disaster Artist. I'm really curious to see how it holds up in the coming weeks -- The Room has a huge cult following of people who probably came out to see it as soon as possible, but the reactions seem to be quite good which could keep it from being too frontloaded.

[kiddo82]

I know Murder on the Orient Express got mixed reviews (I thought it was fine.  Not great but not a bad way to kill two hours) but I've said this before, it's great to see a mid budget film that was geared for adults do so well.  We needs more of those.

That seems like a respectable opening for Ferdinand, considering.

The Budget for Ferdinand 111 million freaking dollars!?

Wow, the Disaster Artist cratered. I'm kind of shocked, honestly. Hopefully it recovers.

And Three Billboards has hit the 20 million box office milestone for indies.

Perhaps a respectable opening given that it opened against Star Wars.  But respectable given its budget? And I don't think it gets much easier for it to grow.   Wednesday, Jumanji comes out.  That's PG-13 and has been getting pretty good reviews.  The Greatest Showman is PG and has been advertising like crazy. Pitch Perfect 3, also PG-13, comes out on Friday.  Granted,  Ferdinand is animated and maybe the only one geared at kids so perhaps it has room to grow and earn money through merch but 1/10th of a budget is a tough wide opening.

It was looking even worse a few days ago.  I'm a little surprised and yet not if that makes sense.  I'm not totally surprised because the Room has a massive cult following.  Fans of the Room were going to jump at the chance to see this movie.  There was always the risk that this movie would be front loaded because of that. Still, I thought its good reviews would help it have legs.

[methodwriter85]

If James Franco does get an Oscar nom, that will probably help their chances, but this movie is going to have to tread water for the next couple of weeks.

I'm not surprised by the totals for The Disaster Artist.  Other than fans of The Room and cinema buffs, who, exactly, was this movie aimed at?  I haven't seen any mainstream advertising for it, other than a few places like EW.

[scarynikki12]

I think it’s important to remember that The Disaster Artist isn’t in a lot of chain theaters.  It’s coming to the one I go to soon but if I want to see it now I have to go to the independent theater. Which I intend to do but haven’t gotten there yet. 

[Silver Raven]

Call Me By Your Name still isn't playing in wide release, either.

[methodwriter85]

I'm guessing they're going to tread and wait for the wide release until after the Oscar noms are announced. Silver Linings Playbook followed that pattern during the 2012-13 Awards season. It wasn't doing so hot until AFTER January began. I remember it because I was very insistent about seeing Silver Linings on Christmas Day after the presents were opened at  movie theater 45 minutes north of me because they tended to play a lot of the indie movies that didn't make it to a wide release. I remember being worried that SL would be like Perks of Being a Wallflower and not make it to my local theater.

Then it turned into a blockbuster hit that grossed over a 100 million dollars and was playing everywhere a few weeks later. Go figure.

I did look it up though and this is going to be an unusually long awards season because of the Olympics- the nominations won't be announced until January 23rd and the ceremony isn't until March 4th. The strategy might not work then.

It's not everywhere and it'll keep playing in new theaters but it's in over 1000 theaters.  That's a decent amount of screens for an indie. Lady Bird and Three Billboards both peaked around 1500 with less competition. It'll keep getting picked up in new places but considering the revenue drop, it'll probably start losing theaters as other indies/wide releases seek space unless this is a movie people watch over and over and over.  It'll be interesting to see how much it falls this weekend or if it stabilizes.  They might also hope to try expanding it again if they get awards attention.

The Disaster Artist is in wide release.  CMBYN is only in 30 theaters (more this weekend) and doesn't plan on going "wide" until mid-January.  Its rollout is slow as molasses and now it just leaked illegally online so I hope it doesn't hurt its box office.  There are a lot of people who have seen it over and over which would have given it legs but might not now if they get it online illegally. I plan on seeing it this weekend at my local independent theater.

Other independent movies that are going to expand include I, Tonya, The Darkest Hour, The Shape of Water...etc.  Maybe more.  The Post is coming out in only 9 theaters this week and will wait until January to go wide too.

[Dejana]

Christmas Eve falling on a Sunday leads to some weaker than expected openings/holds for the holiday season, but the weekdays starting tomorrow will bounce back and next weekend will probably be stronger for most movies.  The Last Jedi is not going to reach the heights of The Force Awakens but that's pretty customary for the second movie in a Star Wars trilogy. Some of the specialty titles will have to wait until the thick of awards season to hit their stride.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is performing incredibly well, considering that it's not getting the largest screens in the multiplex. That's thanks to Disney's contractual demands for The Last Jedi:

Quote

And make no mistake, you can count on the theaters being packed with hardcore fans and casual moviegoers alike to see the latest installment set in a galaxy far, far away. Disney is well aware of this, which is why Lucasfilm's parent studio is reportedly asking the theaters screening The Last Jedi to hand over 65% of what they earn from those ticket sales. And the demands don't stop there.

According to The Wall Street Journal, theaters are required to run Star Wars: The Last Jedi for four weeks straight without skipping a screening, and if a theater does this or miscounts its number of screenings, then Disney's cut of the ticket take increases to 70%. Normally studios ask for approximately 60% of ticket sales from domestic theaters (approximately 40% internationally), but considering what a pop culture juggernaut the Star Wars franchise is, not to mention how well many Marvel and traditional Disney movies have performed in recent years, that number has gone up. Theaters are also required to run specific promotional material from Disney for The Last Jedi on exactly the day the studio wants. Because of this deal, specifically the extended period the movie needs to be kept around, several theater owners in smaller markets have have opted not to screen The Last Jedi.

It will be interesting to see if Disney tries making the same demands for Episode IX and if theaters will push back (especially if they are confident that holiday season will have another breakout). 

The Last Jedi passes Beauty and the Beast to become domestic box office champion for 2017 releases.  It will be the first #1 to win it within the calendar year since The Avengers.

I'm wondering if the other studios will push back. They get the highest percentage of the ticket sales on the opening weekend. So anything that affects the number of theaters a movie's in has to hurt the studio's profits.

Disney will probably just buy any studio that pushes back. I do think the significantly weaker performance of The Last Jedi, plus the rumors that Solo is going to flop hard, probably will weaken their position a tad.

It will be interesting to see if Disney tries making the same demands for Episode IX and if theaters will push back (especially if they are confident that holiday season will have another breakout). 

I thought the demands were only for opening weekend. 

But I still  think theaters will back what Disney puts out.  The Last Jedi isn't going to reach the first's heights but it's still making a lot of money. It has the sixth highest domestic gross of all time already and it's about the safest bet a theater can make.

And only $300 million less than the The Force Awakens! It's kind of crazy to think of a movie that will make more than $600M domestically as a "disappointment" and the drop off from the first to second movie will end up in line with earlier Star Wars trilogies.  Still, after the $220M opening weekend, $700M+ wasn't an unreasonable expectation for The Last Jedi, but the box office reporters kept dropping their projections as the holidays wore on.  It's pretty hard for a movie released from mid to late December not to triple its opening weekend; the Christmas season is notorious for leggy runs. 

 

MoviePass released their Top 25 list of films viewed by their members for 2017.  The service only announced their price cut to $9.95 in August so the list is heavily skewed with movies from the last 4 months of the year.  I'd heard anecdotally about some prestige titles getting upwards to half of their sales through MoviePass and this list offers some confirmation, considering the MoviePass popularity relative to the overall US box office. The totals are as of January 2:

1. Star Wars: The Last Jedi  —  $539,388,403
2. Thor: Ragnarok  —  $311,682,332
3. Coco —  $184,196,357

I'm kind of shocked at how well Showman is doing. I might have to see it.

It's fun and given the way it ignored PT Barnum's true behavior, pure fantasy.  However, I look at it like this:  Hollywood, like PT Barnum,  is all about selling fantasies and this is no different.  If you can go in there ready to accept that you're not going to see the real PT Barnum, you should be fine.  Besides, I think the music and dance numbers are fantastic, even with the contemporary flair (although, admittedly, the non-singing parts tended to drag a little at times).  Of course, that's just my opinion.  Anyway, I wonder if maybe people are so upset with the world being what it is today that this 2 hours of fun (although, it's not without some drama) were just what the doctor ordered.  The people in my theater applauded when it was over.
