You mean the Leonard Cohen song that Concrete Blonde covered, Shryke.

Saw What Men Want tonight and I think it definitely will have legs. Audience ate it up

LEGO is probably the most shocking decline for a sequel since (I don't know... Ted 2, maybe [Solo was technically a spin-off, and those usually don't work out])

Observations/Predictions:

What Men Want looks like a $50M film, not much more.

Aquaman will pass Batman v Superman this week to become the all-time highest-grossing DC Universe film outside the Dark Knight trilogy.

The Upside will definitely crack $90M. $100M is a stretch.

$180M for Spider-Man. Bravo.

Glass will hit $100M this week, despite critical bashing.

I think What Men Want will hold pretty well with Valentine’s and the long weekend coming up. Won’t be a blockbuster but I think it’ll get closer to $60-70M.

And I’d be surprised if The Upside didn’t clear $100M at this point (which is kind of crazy). It’s been gaining on The Bucket List comp every week and will need to massively shed theaters coming up to miss the mark. STX doesn’t have anything out until April and they only have one $100M movie thus far so I feel like they’ll be invested in getting it over the hump.
