After all of the pre-release hype and the word out of SXSW, you would have expected it to do better on Thursday that it did. This is only $250,000 above Civil War's preview numbers, a much grimmer film without a name lead and with an R rating. It more than likely doesn't hit $30 million this weekend...

Yeah, I can't see two Amy Adams movies being out of the same time when this is set to be her comeback year. You want one out after the other, not concurrently.

In addition, Ishiguro is a very highbrow author so a film like this might need to have a lot of work in how to market it.

Peacock might not even exist by February. It's been a money pit for Comcast.

Pretty disappointing numbers for the first movie of the summer. Universal's going to really need word of mouth to save this one.

Richard Curtis must be desperate at this point (edit: Curtis isn't working on this one, having been replaced on the script with the director of Dirty Grandpa and Home Sweet Home Alone).

But anyway, yet another fourth installment no one asked for.

I'm going to take Possum Trot (or whatever it's going to be called) And hope that the July 4th date and Angel Studios' push will make it do better than the usual Christian fare Why am I not surprised Letitia Wright's now working with Angel Studios. To go from Marvel to Evangelical fare in two years...

The latest of the increasingly rare group of movies not screened for critics. It seems like only Sony still chooses to do this on things they know are bad.

A Chicago movie that wasn't filmed in Chicago. That doesn't happen too often.

And when I see the title Levon's Trade, I think of it sounding like Cogan's Trade, which was adapted as Killing Them Softly, but with The Band's Levon Helm in the Brad Pitt role.

I got real Skinamarink vibes from the trailer. Also, I just don't get the whole "gore = scary" belief so many connected to horror have.

Terrifier 3, depending on if chains will pick up an unrated movie again, could hit $15-20 million, maybe more if they move it closer to Christmas. Not too big on Cineverse opening a Christmas movie before Halloween.

I saw that In a Violent Nature trailer before Infested and my first thought was "this is a real movie?". It makes Sasquatch Sunset look like a four-quadrant blockbuster.

They Listen With Love sounds like a forthcoming James Bond movie.

I think The Fall Guy fails to hit $100 million. The reviews might be there and the leads are longtime members of the Hollywood "in crowd" but industry movies rarely do well. Also, how many people born after 1980 saw the original TV show? It might have made more sense to call it Stuntman or something...

Remember when Neon some years back decided to sneak preview The Beach Bum on a Sunday morning? Well, the same distributor revealed Babes will sneaked on the morning of May 21st.

This is a Tuesday, by the way.

But Banks, to bring back up a question that never seems to be answered: if she's such a draw, why did Sweeney's next two movies flop? Yes, Sweeney has fans but they mostly seem to be limited to people on the Internet. The Internet doesn't dictate general success. If it did, Aubrey Plaza would leadin...
