In the note
However, the exits aren’t very good so far and word of mouth from the preview shows last night might hold it down a little lower. Bullet Train - Looks pretty stable today, figure a drop of about 35% for a weekend in the mid 5’s. Beast - Looks iffy today, down 60% for a weekend in the mid 4’s. Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero - Um, I mentioned last week that these Anime films tend to be a tad front loaded, but this is falling apart faster than a Miami Beach Condo with a leaky pool.

I actually felt the same way on the first trailer for Bullet Train, and I never understood who was chasing Brad Pitt (and why).
