19.5 for Snatched after all, I was hoping it might be above 20 when I drafted it, but it's alright after all. It shouldn't hold too bad.

Cinemascore was only a B and it had a substantial Sunday bump due to Mother's Day. A drop over 50% is expected (60% wouldn't be too surprising with Fox's other forthcoming releases getting all the ad dollars).

Yeah, but there are only weak films opening this weekend, either too small or too bad (Covenant, Ridley Scott needs to leave his Alien legacy alone), so there will be room for Snatched's 2nd week.

I think Everything, Everything's good for at least $10 million. Me Before You did well last year around the same time (though that was a classier film and Nick Robinson's no Sam Claflin) and it should bring in the teens until school gets out everywhere.

There was apparently a hate campaign created by people who don't like Schumer (mainly MRA's) to drive the film's score down (it was a 2.2 at one point), similar to the ones on A Dog's Purpose (PETA and people who believed the fake video TMZ showed on the making of the film) and The Promise (Turks who didn't agree with the film's premise). Typical business at IMDb and another reason why a high or low score there means little.
