Where it turns up

So, with the accuracy normally associated with a Manhattan Correctional Center nap schedule, here’s my best take on the weekend box-office. #1 Good Boys - Had a great night last night and once again Universal is at the top of its game when it comes to Comedy (now that New Line seems to be sitting out for a while).
Friday, August 23, 2019 Fourth weekend of August 2019
On the chart Good Boys (wk 2): $11.6M, -46%
Expected 'A standard 50% drop and a weekend just above 10' Actual: $11.6M, -46%

Right now it looks a little better than last night’s preview gross would predict, figure it’s in the very high teens with a decent shot at a head-shavingly good 20/low 20's. #2 Good Boys - Looks pretty normal right now, but since the box office menu is a little short on comedy right now, even though the exits were good not great this might show some legs this weekend.
Friday, August 30, 2019 Labor Day weekend 2019
On the chart Good Boys (wk 3): $9.5M, -18%
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.
