Where it turns up
Friday, March 8, 2024 Second weekend of March 2024
Expected 'Psa ends up in the high 20's with a shot at 30' Actual: $30,153 per screen
In the note
This has a fairly young skew, so we might see a little better Saturday than a genre film like this would generate, but right now it looks like about $10 million. Love Lies Bleeding - A24 went exclusive NY/LA in the standard 5 run break (Lincoln Sq, Union Sq, Century City, The Grove, Burbank) and what’s interesting here is that the Union Square is leading the pack, and that theater has consistently under performed since it reopened.
Friday, March 15, 2024 Third weekend of March 2024
On the chart Love Lies Bleeding (wide expansion): $2.5M
Expected 'Good enough for $3 million or so' Actual: $2.5M
In the note
However, that film opened on a Holiday weekend so figure this ends up around $10 million for the weekend. Love Lies Bleeding - A24 expanded this LBGT skewing drama to 1300 runs and it doesn’t look bad at all.
