Where it turns up
Friday, April 5, 2024 First weekend of April 2024
On the chart The First Omen (opening): $8.4M
Expected 'Following the path of The Pope's Exorcist so far, so figure it ends up around $9 million' Actual: $8.4M
In the note
This looks more like 10 or 11 for the weekend, but considering what this film is, that’s a pretty good gross. The First Omen - Unfortunately, today is 4/5/24, and because it's 4/5/24 today, this reboot/prequel edition of the classic horror IP is just okay; because the IP here has always been tied into a date that leans into the IP.
Friday, April 12, 2024 Second weekend of April 2024
On the chart The First Omen (wk 2): $3.8M, -54%
Expected 'Down 55% for a weekend in the high 3's' Actual: $3.8M, -54%
In the note
Should be off 50% for a weekend in the mid teens. Monkey Man/The First Omen - Even though Monkey Man had significantly better exits than Omen, they’re dropping about the same today from last week.
