In the note
If it gathers some steam, and we can get through the weekend without anyone being a knucklehead, 100 isn’t out of the question. The holdovers all look pretty normal right now, with Abominable looking a little better than the usual 50% drop. Lucy in the Sky - Went very limited in 37 theaters and other than the Arclight Hollywood where there’s a Q and A, everything else is very soft. I’m not sure about other Q and A’s, but this should be under $100k for the weekend. My People My Country - A Chinese Language film opening in about 70 theaters, they’re doing some really solid business.
Friday, September 29, 2023 Final weekend of September 2023
In the note
We should be well ahead of last year (Smile, Bros), and just behind 2019 (Abominable, Judy).
