happy birthday, baby jesus {nm} slipping jimmy Oct 08, 16:55

I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo T-shirt because it says I want to be formal, but I'm here to party. {nm} Wilderness_Journey Oct 09, 06:38

So they are going to pass up on a lucrative weekend because I guess they’re are scared of the optics of a 4th place finish? {nm} islndr Oct 08, 17:06

or 5th under Deadpool PG-13 {nm} Antibody Oct 08, 17:10

True, maybe that is a real concern {nm} islndr Oct 08, 17:14

last-minute shopping noticeably eats into that weekend before the 25th {nm} slipping jimmy Oct 08, 17:11

Will flop like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle :-) {nm} altoids65 Oct 08, 17:27

Lucrative isn’t the word I’d use. Last time Dec 21 was on Fri the biggest opener (Jack Reacher) made $15m. (The Hobbit’s 2nd w/e made $36m) {nm} RogerMore Oct 08, 18:15

which is still 20% of its total domestic take. if reacher wait until the 25th, does it make up the 15? no imo, so why miss out islndr Oct 08, 18:26

You get two holiday weekends opening on the 21st too {nm} Moviesnob Oct 08, 18:36

In Reacher’s case I think it would have. There was $80 million worth of audience wanting to see that movie. RogerMore Oct 08, 20:32

now I have to wait until summer to Netflix it. {nm} RazorHawk Oct 09, 08:39
