Essential Box Office Tracking, Predictions, Results And Discussion (Predator falls,Jack Black Surprises)

[Robbie3000]

Michael Moore's new documentary has flopped. I was expecting it to make bank considering the current political climate. I think the budget for it was $5 million which is crazy for a documentary.

Fahrenheit 11/9 limped to an eighth-place finish in North America with $3.1 million from 1,719 theaters. Prerelease tracking had suggested at least $5 million to $6 million. Moore's satirical anti-Trump film marks the first release from Tom Ortenberg's new company, Briarcliff. (Ortenberg worked with Moore on Fahrenheit 9/11 while stationed at Lionsgate.)

"We're optimistic," says Briarcliff distribution head Steve Bunnell, noting the film's A CinemaScore and strong PostTrak exit scores. "The idea was to have the movie play everywhere before the midterm elections."

In 2004, Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 debuted to a record-breaking $23.9 million from 868 locations. Otherwise, his films, similar to other political or specialized docs, have launched first in select theaters before expanding their footprint in order to capitalize on word of mouth. While it's true Fahrenheit 11/9 posted one of the biggest bows ever for a political doc, it is only the fourth political doc to launch nationwide, making comparisons tough.

His best movie since 9/11. I thought it would do better.

His best movie since 9/11. I thought it would do better.

I think he has alienated too many people.
The Trump lovers were never going to support it but Moore has been shytting on Obama, Hillary and the rest of the Democrats pretty hard for a while now too. I guess the Bernie Sanders fanbase aint as big as Moore thought it was because they are Moore's core audience now and all they got him was a $3 million opening weekend.

I think after all the stuff about him staging certain things or misrepresented the truth in certain scenarios he lost the trust of people.

The Predator was such a disappointment:

Night School

That's a huge win for Kevin, first movie from Hartbeat Productions.

It's time to give up on The Predator franchise. It had its day, but it's clear at this point that modern audiences just aren't interested.

Halloween outselling any movie in the franchise's domestic run in its first week

Only cost about $10 million to make. Probably spent another $10 million on promo. Going to be the most profitable since the first movie when it’s all said and done
