In the note
For now, let’s say any shortfall tonight and tomorrow gets made up by the extra runs and I'll say it should end up in the low 60’s. Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse/Elemental - Same same as last weekend, both running about the same level and they should both be down about 35% for a weekend of about $12 million. Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken - Back when they folded DreamWorks Animation and Illumination together, I had lunch with a friend working at DWA, he told me the combination wasn’t going well because the DWA folks saw themselves as Animation Artiste’s and thought the Illumination people were a bunch of hacks.
