Where it turns up
Friday, December 1, 2023 First weekend of December 2023
On the chart The Shift (opening): $4.3M
Expected 'About $6 million or so' Actual: $4.3M
In the note
Unless something weird happens and this is super front loaded, this looks like $7 million or so on only 700 screens. The Shift - The folks at Angel Studios, who brought us the runaway hit The Sound of Freedom this summer are back with another crowd funded film, this time it’s a sci-fi/faith based film.
Friday, February 23, 2024 Fourth weekend of February 2024
In the note
But similar to what Angel experienced on The Shift last December, it's not that easy and just because your flock came to see one film, they won't necessarily show up for the next.
Thursday, November 28, 2024 Thanksgiving 2024
In the note
Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce, Godzilla Minus One, The Shift, Animal and Silent Night cumed up to about $47 million (the norm for that weekend is probably closer to $4.7 million in new gross), but if it was a more normal week after Thanksgiving, this weekend’s gross would have tripled the previous year.
