So, with the accuracy and dependability of airplane wifi (that I’m currently struggling with), here’s my best take on the weekend box-office. #1 It Chapter 2 - Since I still have yet to talk to anyone who has liked this film, I was expecting a bigger drop than I’m seeing now.

They had a great night last night and the numbers today look a lot like It 2 a couple of weeks ago, so figure it ends up in the same low 90’s range.

Unfortunately, just like It Chapter 2, Rambo Last Blood, Gemini Man and Maleficent; it’s one more film that had a campaign that’s as good as you can ask for but will be looked at as a disappointment because tracking put out numbers that were way too high (more on this below).

Following the same pattern we’ve seen lately, we’ll crush last year's total ( Barbarian and a decent $4.5 million Bollywood film) and maybe get close to doubling it, and similarly we’ll be well behind 2019 where It Chapter 2 grosses a terrific $91.1 million.
