DEADPOOL
Cost: 821 FML Bucks
Estimate: $68.85 million
A historic weekend usually means a meteoric drop. Any drop lower than 55% should be considered
a victory. It is my belief that none of
the over-100 FML Bucks will win the bonus so using DEADPOOL as your foundationthis
weekend is the right play.
RISEN
Cost: 128 FML Bucks
Estimate: $11 million
The first of four (FOUR?!?!) Christian-centric movies in the
next two months. This is the historical
drama of the bunch. I’m a little more
optimistic than most of the experts and even then, it’s still a half million
short of consideration.
KUNG FU PANDA 3
Cost: 126 FML Bucks
Estimate: $10.9 million
The fourth weekend of the best movie in theatres right now.
RACE
Cost: 103 FML Bucks
Estimate: $9.8 million
This is the big wild card of the weekend. A Jesse Owens biopic during Black History
month should be a slam dunk but that’s only true if it wins the Bonus. And I think it comes up just short in a
crowded field.
THE WITCH
Cost: 90 FML Bucks
Estimate: $6 million
Low budget horror in 1800 theatres. No chance.
HOW TO BE SINGLE
Cost: 88 FML Bucks
Estimate: $8 million
The single ladies didn’t come out last weekend and those
that did, didn’t really care for this. Nothing
makes me think they show up this weekend.
ZOOLANDER 2
Cost: 62 FML Bucks
Estimate: $5.536 million
Take what I said about HTBS & change “single ladies” to “thirty-
& fourty-somethings.”
THE REVENANT
Cost: 42 FML Bucks
Estimate: $4.5 million
Sixth weekend in wide release of one of the Best Picture
frontrunners. There’s still an audience
for the movie but I don’t think it’s big enough.
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS
Cost: 37 FML Bucks
Estimate: $3.695 million
It’s the weekend after Valentine’s Day and I have STAR WARS
winning the Bonus. It’s still in most theatres
and people will still show up.
HAIL, CAESAR!
Cost: 31 FML Bucks
Estimate: $2.878 million
The diehard Coen Brothers fans haven’t shown up and probably
won’t now.
THE CHOICE
Cost: 27 FML Bucks
Estimate: $2.088 million
Valentine’s Day is over and so might be the run of Nicholas
Sparks at the box office.
RIDE ALONG 2
Cost: 24 FML Bucks
Estimate: $2.229 million
This terrible, comedic sequel just keeps chugging
along. Will make decent money for the
cost again, just not enough for the Bonus.
THE BOY
Cost: 16 FML Bucks
Estimate: $1.244 million
Not the newest horror flick in town. Just ignore & move on.
THE FINEST HOURS
Cost: 13 FML Bucks
Estimate: $1.222 million
Change “single ladies” to “senior citizens” in HTBS, only
this time it’s a shame.
Busco Novio Para Mi
Mujer
Cost: 13 FML Bucks
Estimate: $1 million
Ummm… No comment.
My Cineplex
As badly as
I want to take RACE, to be worth it, it MUST win the Bonus. But the race for the Bonus is too tight to
take that risk. Taking the four ‘safe’
pick screens (DEADPOOL & three STAR WARS) with filler on the other four, which
leaves me with…
DEADPOOL x1, STAR WARS x3, HAIL, CAESAR! x1, THE FINEST
HOURS x2, BNPMM x1
Total Cost: 1000 FML Bucks
Estimate After Bonus: $92.256 million
As always,
Good Luck & Buy a Winning Ticket!
