    The last one did $14M on Friday, and that’s gonna be Bone Temple’s 3-day start.

  2. Below even Deadlines grim $5.8M projections from yesterday.

    Yeah this is losing even the 3 day weekend to Avatar 3 and getting crushed for the 4 day.

  3. Even lower than the number yesterday which was already not very good. 67.1% increase over Thursday previews.

  4. Bummer. Saw it yesterday and were the only ones in the whole theater.

    Hopefully it’ll leg out. Movie was awesome.

    Where are all the people who claimed that 28 Years Later was well liked by audiences when people were pointing out that it clearly wasn’t? Are they going to admit to being wrong? Honestly I’m wrong about plenty of things regarding the box office but like if you’re wrong don’t pretend that you’re not. Just acknowledge that 28 Years Later reception was poor and that poor reception is hurting Bone Temple’s opening weekend. Poor Nia DaCosta. I hope that great cinemascore leads to great legs.

    Underestimated how people bounced off 28 Years, which had OK legs after the massive second weekend drop.

    I feel like there wasn’t a lot of marketing for this movie. I didn’t see trailers. I didn’t see tv spots. I didn’t see actors giving interviews. Do people even know it is out?

    The fact that this made just $2m more than the Fellowship of the Ring re-release is dire

  9. Rough. Gonna need some solid legs to not be a disaster

    Honestly this is a pitch perfect example for why studio interference is desperately needed for some films. Boyle should not have been given carte blanche for part 1. Sony should’ve made him make it more normal and have more excitement. I adore the film and wouldn’t change it but the GA clearly doesn’t agree. I would’ve rather got a slightly inferior version and get part 3 then to get an unchanged but incredible part 1 and it snowball to an incomplete trilogy.

    But who knows maybe legs can save this. I definitely won’t rule it out since it seems even casuals who saw this like it much better.

    This is kinda what happens when the “sequels” have nothing to do with the original. 28 days later was genuinely a scary zombie movie and didn’t really try to force any unnecessary humor. Tone and atmosphere are completely different

    Predator badlands changed my thinking about cinemascores. Sometimes a film has a base and word of mouth really doesn’t matter; only a certain amount of people will see it no matter what.

  12. This movie is pretty niche for artsy people. Not really a zombie movie. They went too experimental. 

  13. Fucking hell, that sucks. I hope it picks up in the following weeks, I would love to see the sequel for this and end this series on a high note

    Oh no… this is not good for its opening weekend tracking half as less then 28 Years Later opening with $30M which is concerning for the 3rd part for 28 Years Later

  15. Wait, are you telling me that releasing a very good and critically praised movie in the dump month for theatrical releases (January) is a waste? 😱

    Rough OW. I saw the film. I liked the previous film better and felt this one lacked any real payoff….but it’s still a good film and much better than a lot of slop that gets put out by the MCU/DCU. It doesn’t deserve the current numbers it’s doing and deserves much better

    I don’t understand the budget for this movie, a large part of it takes place on the same sets as 28 Years Later and they filmed them at the same time. Did they just combine the two movies and then figured out a split? I don’t understand how this one is more expensive than the first one
