hello and welcome to this week's movie math where things this weekend were
relatively calm before what's expected to be a box office storm
yeah that's Hollywood is understandably excited for it to rain and what's
particularly special about this upcoming weekend is that while it's usually just
one standout movie a frame right a frame is a industry speak for a box office
weekend right the three days or a holiday frame if you know the Monday's
included but anyway this coming weekend it looks like two movies and two studios
are expected to share oh isn't that nice and in fact this weekend to movies and
to Studios shared the weekend although at a smaller level yes both nights cool
and small foot posts and solid opening weekends now the first film of course is
night school and Kevin Hart fresh off of the biggest hit of his career the
ensemble action adventure comedy Jumanji while Hart proved he's still a movie
star in his own right posting yet another debut in the 30
million range that's not bad on your resume I can open
movies at around 30 million consistently right but here he did it without the
rock ice cube or even Will Ferrell but he did have a semi costar and relative
newcomer Tiffany Haddish right and that she could make up one half as potent a
Kevin Hart combo as with those other three dudes is impressive indeed
and Haddish has not one but two more comedies to go this year her
representation did a wonderful job capitalizing off of her breakout film
girl strip right and this bodes well for both of them but I think particularly
Tyler Perry's nobody's fooled that movie looks excellent and once again diversity
was proven to equal money in the bank for Hollywood and as we know that's what
motivates Hollywood to actually do what they should okay so there was a strong
diverse supporting cast in night school and that resulted in a very diverse
audience get ready to have your mind blown because this is a really big deal
so 37% of the audience was Caucasian 30% African American 24% Hispanic 5% Asian
at the bottom again Asian moviegoers and you can see again why crazier iterations
was such a big deal and also searching and then 4% other now well I think what
I think is very interesting here is that perhaps Jumanji has upped hearts appeal
with Caucasian audiences because while with the rock and Central Intelligence
he nabbed a 40 percent Caucasian audience the rock has been loved by all
for quite some time when he was teamed with ice cube for ride along to heart
only brought in 22% a Caucasian audience so make no mistake it is a huge freaking
deal that the biggest demographic to turn out for a Kevin Hart and Tiffany
Haddish movie because like on the poster it wasn't diverse right is Caucasian
movie goers again that was the biggest audience to turn up for this movie
now you pair that with the solid box office debut plus an a-minus cinema
score and you know what that is that is fantastic
exhibit a B and C for any other talent of color that's trying to convince the
Hollywood studios have them be a lead in a big movie that's meant for a wide
audience going forward that's very valuable and if people's agents and
managers don't think of it they should tell them to pitch that in the room it's
huge alright that over at Warner Brothers the
studio is determined to get their own animation shingle off the ground these
days thanks to computer animation anyone can compete and often does although
Warner Brothers is admittedly towards the back of the animation pack but small
foot was an encouraging albeit small step forward also getting an a-minus
from audiences small foot reps WB animations biggest opening by a smidge
but it's still the biggest one outside of their Lego movies they do good work
I liked small for quite a bit and I liked historic Steven Moore by the way
and a utopia certainly awaits small foot on streaming which is what a house with
the clock in its walls will also have to hope for a small foot ate into its
family audience non-family audience just a little bit of a warning when you're
typing quickly don't leave out the clock because it makes for very
different wall decorations okay now as for the uh really surprised myself
typing my notes today alright so as for the weekends other new releases Hellfest
is the second of four high-rated horror movies to theaters for Halloween this
year and it's DOA opening opening weekend shows how competitive and brand
based the horror genre has become just to remember that it used to be that the
horror genre was a way to break into the industry that you didn't have to be
known in front of her behind the camera I interviewed Wes Craven and he said
that's how he started getting making horror movies he could never get out of
the genre but that's why that's why that was why it was where he started but now
these days it's so crowded and therefore so competitive and you need to stand out
from the crowd in some way then a movie like Hellfest really just cannot compete
and i think even just a few years ago somebody might be like well it was my
great-grand it was like really small movie from CBS Films right but even
still it should have been able to open bigger than this then 2018 log yet
another hit documentary with free solo boasted the best per theater average for
a limited release of any movie not just documentaries this year unseating eighth
grade I told you eighth grade would be unseated very quickly and I'm sure the
free solo will as award season heats up and we get more and more hot movies and
limited release but still it doesn't undercut eighth grades accomplishment
nor free solos the documentary Oscar this year is gonna probably it for the
first time a competition that a number of mainstream moviegoers actually pay
attention to and have lately seen or at least a number of people have seen the
competitors exciting stuff who would you be rooting for so far if you've seen
these I've only seen two of the three and I guess I guess I'd have to go for
our RBG for obvious reasons that has four Robert Redford he recently
backtracked on retiring from acting after the old man and the gun why
Redford that was your best play for an Oscar although I have to say not only is
the per theater average on this pretty darn low for a Robert Redford movie but
I actually had the misfortune of sitting it through this last night the other
night Saturday night and it was just awful truly horrible
boring really bad moving I can't believe that Robert Redford you know Robert
Redford at this point in his career when he can you would assume pick the
projects that he wants to do is shocking this is um
this is something that he would do and I guess that's a good reason for him not
to retire also looking at you Daniel day-lewis these are not notes that you
want to go out on okay but as for the overall top ten a simple
favor continues to benefit from very strong word-of-mouth deservedly so
really fun movie even if the endings not so great and again it's not one but two
Henry Golding picks that have the best holds in the top ten Henry Goulding's
career is golden oh I keep getting a kick out of the fact that he's the one
non actor in the cast alright but he seems like a really wonderful guy and I
think certainly an adequate actor at the very least and then this coming weekend
yes once again two movies will share the frame with both venom and a star is
born' expected to post very strong debuts which of the two will you be
seeing well you've been making a Sophie's Choice between venom and stars
born or will you see both I actually have to say I bet a lot of you do see
both and I'd be curious to hear what your plans are down below so that's this
week's movie math thanks for going over the box office with me again share those
thoughts down below and of course as always you can check out some more
