Thrones is very buzzy. Maybe not to the level of Mad Men, but its familiar and Momoa plays a warrior type

I agree Conan looks awful, but so did Scorpion King (closest comparison, imo) and it opened to 36. Scorpion had the benefit of being a Mummy spin-off, but Conan is a remake of an iconic film.

dump week! {nm} Peterlee Aug 15, 11:38

That's next week. CONAN is Lionsgate's big summer release, same for SPYK4 and Weinstein. {nm} Antibody Aug 15, 11:45

Other than Expendables have they had any success in August? {nm} lobogotti Aug 15, 11:47

The Last Exorcism also did well in August. That's the only other example I could find. {nm} HarryWarden Aug 15, 11:50

wow, it did open to 20M+....look at the full run multiplier on that one....horrible {nm} lobogotti Aug 15, 11:54

Given the RS/MTC rule, what's that mean for the openers? {nm} HarryWarden Aug 15, 11:40

It means THELP could be #1 (unless I'm right about CONAN) {nm} SparkleMotion Aug 15, 12:10

knew Conan was junk. Fright looks frightfully low. can't believe Spy fell that much from the last and One still seems a stretch at 7M. lobogotti Aug 15, 11:41

Conan will surprise, I think. Momoa has the Thrones cred. {nm} SparkleMotion Aug 15, 11:42

it just looks so horrible to me. if you offered me $50 I wouldn't go see it....seriously. now anymore and I would consider. lobogotti Aug 15, 11:45

you could be right, but I think FRNIT is a tad low before Co.N.an.....can't believe it's not higher. {nm} lobogotti Aug 15, 11:52

FRNIT doesn't surprise me. I don't think CFARR or AYELC have the star power to push it. I don't think it looks very scary either. SparkleMotion Aug 15, 11:58

The Lost Boys is sacred now! well FRNIT imo just looks like Disturbia, which I really enjoyed for what it was. not sure I will see Fright lobogotti Aug 15, 12:01

The sad bit is that even at 14, it will be CFARR's biggest opening since 2006's MVICE SparkleMotion Aug 15, 12:14

I don't think HBO / AMC type shows have much impact on BO. They're watched by relatively few people, compared to network TV. {nm} RogerMore Aug 15, 11:55

But are you 17 years old? TheWeekendWarrior Aug 15, 12:05

my wife would say YES and she didn't sign up for that.....but too bad! {nm} lobogotti Aug 15, 12:06

if it wasn't for THELP overperforming RSAPE stood a good chance to go #1 a third week in a row. {nm} lobogotti Aug 15, 12:03

Tagging MTC: [CONAN] [SPYK4] [FRNIT] [1DAY] {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 15, 13:39

I don't understand how they come up with these numbers. both remakes of classic favorites at a time when reboots are killing. {nm} Fitch3k Aug 15, 19:13

My grandfather hasn't been to the movies since the 80s and he is going to see Conan. Fitch3k Aug 15, 19:14
