Where it turns up
Friday, June 2, 2023 First weekend of June 2023
On the chart The Boogeyman (opening): $12.4M
Expected 'Looks like a weekend in the very low teens' Actual: $12.4M
In the note
Aladdin dropped 52% in its 2nd weekend, so figure this drops just a little more and finishes the weekend in the low 40s. The Boogeyman - Usually you can get a lift when a Stephen King IP comes to the screen, but apparently films based on short stories don’t quite goose the numbers the way a full book does.
Friday, June 9, 2023 Second weekend of June 2023
On the chart The Boogeyman (wk 2): $7.2M, -42%
Expected 'Figure a weekend of about $7 million (down 45%), which is much better than normal' Actual: $7.2M, -42%
In the note
Figure it’s down 45% for a weekend in the low 20’s. The Boogeyman - It’s down about 20 points less than a horror movie should be this time of year.
Friday, July 28, 2023 Fourth weekend of July 2023
In the note
This weekend they have this Sundance Darling with a RT score at 92%, so it’s a film that’s built to compete in a hot market like this weekend. It’s running ahead of a recent Horror title like Boogeyman, but this has 1000 less runs.
