Weekly Update:
So I went to Costco before it opened the other day (wow!) and there was already a crowd waiting. I mean I waited in my car in the AC till it did because it was still way hot. But driving in the parking lot to a parking spot, was this guy who was taking his sweet time moving. So I thought I would get a bite to eat at the concession before going inside and that same guy was there holding up the line for a solid 5 minutes figuring out what he wanted. I noticed he asked the same questions a few times because the lady gave the same answers ... so not sure if he wasn't all there or just simply not getting it. But, morning Costco seems very different than late morning or afternoon Costco!
At the movies:
Nice surprise at #1 this week as The Equalizer 2 gains top honors with a 35.8 million opening! Almost on target and word-of-mouth is good on this film that it should carry to 100 mil potentially. New at #2, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again with 34.4 mil and very close to predictions as well. Not a lot of buzz around this one like the first but should still do potentially well. Dip down to #3 is "Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation" with 23.2 mil, just shy of 100 mil cume! Should get that by mid to late week. slight drop to #4 is "Ant-Man and the Wasp" with 16.1 mil extra but the majority of the fan base was in San Diego for Comic-Con seeing new materials rather than seeing this one for a 3rd time. Holding ground at #5 is "The Incredibles 2" with an extra 11.5 mil as it gets a step closer to 600 mil cume but likely will fall short in the end.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one wide release as Unfriended: Dark Web comes in at #9 with 3.5 mil and right about expected for this film. It might make double digits in the end ... but don't log on to find out.
