Where it turns up
Friday, July 26, 2019 Fourth weekend of July 2019
On the chart Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (opening): $41.1M, Tarantino's best
Expected 'Should fly by QT's best weekend ($39 million)... somewhere in the mid 40's with a shot at better if it's not front loaded' Actual: $41.1M, past the record
In the note
At this point it looks like a drop close to 60% for the weekend for a gross in the mid high 70’s. #2 Once upon a time......in Hollywood - Had a great night last night and looks great today too, it should fly by QT’s best weekend ($39 million on Inglorious Basterds).
Friday, August 2, 2019 First weekend of August 2019
On the chart Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (wk 2): $20.0M, -51%
Expected 'Should finish down about 60% for a gross of about $16 or $17 million': the Hateful Eight-shaped exits showing Actual: $20.0M, -51%
In the note
The same goes with movies, there aren’t bad movies, only bad budgets. Once upon a time…..in Hollywood - Just okay today, and those exit polls that were more in line with Hateful Eight than Django Unchained are manifesting themselves today.
Friday, August 9, 2019 Second weekend of August 2019
Expected 'Down another 50% for a weekend at about $10 million' Actual: $11.7M, -42%
In the note
Figure this is right behind it at $13 or $14 million. #5 Once Upon a Time…... in Hollywood - Down another 50% for a weekend at about $10 million. #6 The Art of Racing in the Rain - Another example of why Rupert was eager to sell, this best selling book for people who thought Marley and Me was way too much of an ‘up’ experience doesn’t look like it’s even going to get to the low range of the recent epidemic of ‘talking dog who dies in the end’ films.

There’s a big difference between long films that appeal to the same demo like Elvis or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that were both around 2 hrs and 40 mins, and this film.
