Tranny Tackles the Cinema: The Films of 2/13, 2/14

[Buscemi2]

I don't think Isn't it Romantic's numbers are that impressive. I Feel Pretty grossed $49 million. With this one having a studio budget and promotional campaign, it should be ahead of that film's pace. It could actually finish below, even though it will stay in theatres for a while.

Looks like The Upside is a shoe-in for $100M now. The LEGO Movie 2 seems also likely to hit that milestone, but not much more. I predict a larger dropoff once Dragon 3 hits next week.

STX has had an impressive run over the past few years, at least in comparison to other mini-major studios.

[Buscemi2]

STX has been very hit-or-miss. Had the Weinstein scandal (which led to them getting The Upside) not happened, they'd been known as the people that made The Happytime Murders.

[Screen203]

True, but they've had a better run than, say, Relativity.

It's been a hell of a week, so I'll do the league updates on Thursday or Friday.
