Where it turns up
Friday, August 23, 2019 Fourth weekend of August 2019
On the chart Angel Has Fallen (opening): $21.4M
Expected 'In the very high teens with a decent shot at a head-shavingly good 20/low 20's' Actual: $21.4M, the shot landed

So, with the accuracy and quality normally associated with a CFL groundskeeping crew, here’s my best take on the weekend box-office. #1 Angel has Fallen - Yes, there’s still a decent amount of fan-ship for this series, especially in the fly over states.
Friday, August 30, 2019 Labor Day weekend 2019
On the chart Angel Has Fallen (wk 2): $11.8M, -45%

So, with the same grip on the numbers that Dorian Thompson-Robinson has on a football, here’s my best take on the weekend box-office. Figure the films that are in week 2 such as Angel has Fallen and Overcomer (the religious film, not the porn film) will be down about 50% for the 3 day.
Friday, September 20, 2019 Third weekend of September 2019
In the note
Normally I'd say this was already at 20 but the exits look only good, and not to the level of the critical acclaim (again), so I'm not sure about playability this weekend. #3 Rambo: Last Blood - Once again Lions Gate has a sequel no one asked for and (just like Angel has Fallen) is getting it to do more business than it probably deserves.
Friday, August 25, 2023 National Cinema Day weekend 2023
In the note
We’ve got a few lower tier releases this week, and because of the deep roster at the box-office we continue to enjoy, the weekend total should be a little higher than the 10 year norm for the weekend before Labor Day. Same story as the last couple of weeks, we’ll be a good 50% ahead of last year (The Invitation, Three Thousand Years of Longing) and about 15% behind 2019 (Angel Has Fallen, Overcomer, Ready or Not), but most of the deficit when compared to 2019 is the gross difference from the new films this year vs 2019. We do have a little wrinkle this weekend, Sunday is National Cinema Day. If your first reaction is 'WTF is that?’, you’re not alone because the theater owners have done a piss poor job of publicizing this.
