In the note
Today is more of the same, and it’s having a really nice day, should end up in the low teens. Heretic - A24 used to be known as the studio that could deliver high single digit opening weekends with a skinny campaign (and no TV spend). This film looks like it should get to $11 million or so, but still with no National TV spend, so this might be the new A24 ’normal’. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever - The folks at Kingdom stories (through Lion’s Gate) have consistently delivered films that resonate with audiences, regularly pulling A and A+ CinemaScores.
