Where it turns up
Friday, August 16, 2019 Third weekend of August 2019
Expected '$3 to $4 million for the weekend' Actual: $4.3M
In the note
Figure about $7 million for the weekend. Blinded by the Light - WB/NL’s high profile and well reviewed Sundance pickup, bolstered by TV spots with letterbox fonts so big it could pass for a watermark, is just okay today.
Friday, August 18, 2023 Third weekend of August 2023
In the note
The same weekend in 2019 (Good Boys, Angry Birds 2, 47 Meters Down 2 and Blinded by the Light) will probably come out just a little ahead of this year.
