In the note
Joker looks terrific right now, figure it’s off only about 30% for the weekend for a gross of about $13 million. #3 Maleficent: Mistress of Evil - Looks a little better than a normal 3rd weekend (once again, when the new films falter, the holdovers pick up the slack), so figure down 45% for $10 or $11 million. #4 Harriet - On these historical biopics (especially the more serious ones like this that can easily feel like school work), the smarter marketing departments do a ton of group pre sales to schools, churches, etc.
