Where it turns up
Friday, April 5, 2024 First weekend of April 2024
On the chart Monkey Man (opening): $10.1M
Expected Previews said mid-teens, but 'this looks more like 10 or 11 for the weekend' Actual: $10.1M
In the note
Figure this has a normal post Good Friday drop in the low 60% range for a weekend of around $30 million. Monkey Man - This well reviewed rags to riches story (which followed a similar rags to riches path to get where it is in the theatrical sector) ended up with a robust Theatrical release thanks to Jordan Peele and Universal.
Friday, April 12, 2024 Second weekend of April 2024
On the chart Monkey Man (wk 2): $4.1M, -60%
Expected 'Down 55% for a weekend in the high 4's' Actual: $4.1M, -60%
In the note
Should be off 50% for a weekend in the mid teens. Monkey Man/The First Omen - Even though Monkey Man had significantly better exits than Omen, they’re dropping about the same today from last week.
