They sent me a usps tracking number and said it is on the way. After two weeks of no contact with me I threatened to reverse the transaction.

Expect Overboard and Tully to draw more interest while everyone awaits the over/under on $125 million for Infinity War next weekend.ġ. Their last was LBJ in 2017 which grossed just $2.4 million in 659 theaters. It will be the second attempt from Electric Entertainment at a wide release. Finally there is Dean Devlin’s thriller, Bad Samaritan, which will have the widest launch of the week in 1,800 theaters. Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody’s Tully with Charlize Theron gets launched in around 1,200 theaters, and if Focus handles the expansion right, it could turn it into the kind of adult counterprogramming in May that Jon Favreau’s Chef was in 2014.
Derbez’s How to Be a Latin Lover opened to $12.2 million in just 1,202 theaters last April, so it could be looking at a decent total, high enough to grab the #2 slot. Pantelion’s gender-reversed remake of Garry Marshall’s Overboard with Eugenio Derbez and Anna Faris taking over the roles of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, respectively, opens in around 1,500 theaters.

So even an average drop next week would mean an $118 million weekend for Infinity War against three films ( Tully, Overboard, Bad Samaritan) all scheduled for launches in fewer than 2000 theaters. Except for The Last Jedi’s 67.5% drop, the second weekends for the other films fell between 39.8-50.3%. The top earners after 21 days in release break down as such: The Force Awakens ($770.3 million), The Last Jedi ($548.9) Jurassic World ($527.3), Black Panther ($520.8) and The Avengers ($476.6). Looming in the back half of May are Deadpool 2 and Solo: A Star Wars Story, both likely to open well over $100 million. 27 is likely to pay off for Marvel and Disney.
The first thing that stands out is that every film that has opened to more than $200 million has cracked the $600 million barrier ( Titanic and Avatar round out the exclusive seven films to achieve that.) Is there anything standing in its way to stop it? This is where the decision to move up the release date from May 4 to Apr. The film’s Friday (which included the Thursday previews) became the third-best ever, and by the end of the weekend, it jumped to the top spot. Avengers: Infinity War generated $39 million in ticket sales on Thursday, which was the fourth highest ever, behind the last two Star Wars films ($57 & $45 million, respectively) and the final Harry Potter film ($43.5 million).
