In the note
But the real story here will be the PVOD gross. #4 The Personal History of David Copperfield - Similar to what we saw last week on Words on Bathroom Walls, this is a well reviewed, upscale skewing film and the theaters that would normally gross well are in states that are still closed.

In the note
However, looking at the next couple of weeks, there’s not enough new films to displace this from the theaters so even though it’s down today, it should get a better than average multiple. Unhinged - Looking off about the same as last week, but with the holiday weekend it might end up with a lower drop. Personal History of David Copperfield - Even though it didn’t gross that much last weekend (because they’re missing most of the markets with the best upscale theaters), the drop from last week looks a little better than average. Words on Bathroom Walls - Just like David Copperfield, this hasn’t been grossing that much, however the drop from last week is excellent today.
