Where it turns up
Friday, June 11, 2021 Second weekend of June 2021
On the chart In the Heights (opening): $11.5M, against trade forecasts of $30M+
Expected Far below the trades' $30M, 'the right comp is The Greatest Showman's $8.8 million open'; WB's campaign lifted it past what the elements deserved Actual: $11.5M, the rebuke landed; the trades missed by nearly 3x
In the note
But now because the trade press (and in particular The Crap Wrap), has fucked over WB and the whole In the Heights family royally this week, I’m beginning to see the point.
Friday, June 18, 2021 Father's Day weekend 2021
Expected 'Off 50% for a weekend in the 5's': the holdover dreams 'not gonna happen' Actual: $4.2M, -63%
In the note
Figure it’s down 35% for a weekend in the mid 6’s. In the Heights - It’s down a little more than a normal 2nd weekend would look, so any big holdover dreams look like they’re not gonna happen.

In the note
Project Power didn’t even generate a ripple (even by Netflix standards) and just like In the Heights, Judas and the Black Messiah was a victim of WB’s 2021 day and date experiment so it didn’t really help her theatrical value.
