It was never gonna hold well but the storm made damn sure that it held absolutely atrociously lmao.

This is just sad. Nia DaCosta’s second film in a row to drop 70% in the sophomore frame.
Final domestic total going below Years’ $30M opening, hell, and I have to question if it can even outgross Weeks ($28M) domestically.

That third movie is cooked.

Abysmal drop. This movie is dead. But it seems like sony doesn’t care about box office as they are still gonna complete the trilogy.
This is a good movie and should do good on OTT. But man depressing number.

Less than Primate’s 2nd weekend ($5.02MM)

This is a horrific drop. With another R-rated horror movie coming out next weekend (Iron Lung) theatres will have no qualms dropping this from screens. Could be looking at 2x legs or worse.

Not sure how much the bad weather hurt this film when the weekday numbers were pointing to a 70% drop. Doesn’t really matter, this films domestic run was always going to be basically over after 14 days, it was never making it to 28 days.
In all seriousness though, that’s the kind of drop I expected it to have, after the film had been cratering all week.
Now that all of the remaining “28 Years Later” fans who weren’t turned off by the last movie have gone to see it on its opening weekend, it is bleeding viewers rapidly.
The “winter storm” excuses feel like The Flash all over again.

This is going to be like when M3GAN 2.0 failed to get domestically what M3GAN earned over its OW. 28 Years 2 won’t get to 28 Years’ OW

No offense to DaCosta but having three films back to back that were critical and/or commercial disappointments is really bad

Yikes. Of course. The folks praying for legs for this film were living in lala land.

Oh my gosh… that’s less then 28 Years Later 3rd weekend with $4.57M and the drop is even compared to last year’s Wolf-Man with $3.25M that took a 70% drop from its opening weekend of $10.9M

Wonder where DaCosta’s career goes from here. She’s clearly an extremely talented director, but 2 movies from her bombing at an insane degree back to back doesn’t look good
Genuinely feel for Nia and the crew because they put in one helluva fucking movie that might rank up there as one of the most intense horror films I’ve ever seen.
There was a comment I initially made in r/movies about how I had a panic attack when the first scene of the movie.
I’m convinced it’s a reason why they split the movie in half, because the second part goes further than any horror film I’ve seen before. I don’t think the audience would be able to handle the tonal whiplash TBT takes.
Jimmy’s psychopathic on a level that I’ve never seen in a film before. It’s “The Droogs” from *A Clockwork Orange*, but cranked up and told through a modern age. I’m always amazed at what the MPAA will allow on a screen, because this movie *went for it*.
While we are a moviegoing audience that *loves* this, the general audience is not possibly ready to watch >!A Jimmy bleed the fuck out while everyone watches in the first 5 MINUTES of the movie. Followed by a gruesome skinning of an innocent family!<. It’s brutal to a degree I wasn’t prepared for, and I loooove when films actually challenge me to sit through something beyond entertainment. I’m not certain the general public would be ready for this.
(In addition to the snowstorm battering the U.S.)

Well there goes the “word of mouth” argument. This film is dead on every front.

Turns out, it is important to nail the first film when you are planning a trilogy.
I hear nothing but good things about Bone Temple, but I heard great things about Years as well and that turned out to be one of the dumbest movies I have seen in theaters. Still trying to figure out how people keep praising a movie with that much stupid going on in the plot.
Won’t see Bone Temple in theaters after being burned last time. Will just wait for streaming.

>opens to less than half of the previous movie
>drops even worse than the last movie’s awful first weekend drop
Even without the storm this is horrific. Why the hell did box office pro think the drop was going to be 30-50%?
Embarrassing numbers, no way around it.

DLCs for movies don’t work, good
omg I hope Nia dacosta career isn’t dead
Damn even though I was expecting a [huge drop](https://www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/s/zWQGkeQfm3) off I didn’t think it would be this bad
