Box office threads traditionally go up on Sunday, but we were busy floating in the Discord aether for much of this past week. Since some of you are going to want to talk Thor 3 (Hi Toa Tak) international numbers when they start coming out tomorrow, I'm going to make a late thread to start us off.
This is barebones for now (A lot went on today!), but I will try to get some of the regular features into the OP that we typically have in these things.
Box Office: Tyler Perry's 'Boo 2!' Tops Downbeat Weekend With $21.7 Million
(click title for full article)
Tyler Perry has prevented a disaster at the box office with the opening of Lionsgate's comedy sequel "Boo 2! A Madea Halloween" scaring up a solid $21.7 million at 2,388 North American locations.
That was pretty much the limit of good news at the nation's multiplexes, where moviegoers gave limited support to a quartet of new arrivals — weather-disaster title "Geostorm," firefighter hero tale "Only the Brave," murder mystery "The Snowman" and faith-based drama "Same Kind of Different as Me."
...
Warner Bros.' "Geostorm," starring Gerard Butler, is finishing a distant second place with about $13.3 million at 3,246 venues — at the top end of modest forecasts but a major disappointment given the film's estimated $100 million budget, financed by Warner Bros. and Skydance Media. Movieigoers gave "Geostorm" a B- CinemaScore. The timing of the release, with hurricanes hitting hard in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico over the past two months, probably dampened enthusiam.
...
Universal's "The Snowman," finished far below forecasts with $3.5 million at 1,812 venues.
"The Snowman," centered on the hunt for a Norwegian serial killer, fell flat with audiences, who gave it a D CinesmaScore while critics panned the movie with a 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
...
After a record-setting September that was dominated by "It," the first three weeks of October have generated a disappointing $430 million domestically — down 11.9% from a year ago and the lowest total for the same period since 2008, according to comScore.
