Thursday Night Previews: Happytime has a Melancholy Debut

August 24, 2018

The Happytime Murders

The Happytime Murders only managed $950,000 during its Thursday previews. I was really expecting a little more than $1 million during previews. This is close enough that matching our $13 million prediction is still possible, but $12 million is more likely. Its also means Crazy Rich Asians will have no problem repeating on top of the box office chart. In fact, it appears to be headed for an amazing sophomore stint, but more on that tomorrow.

Meanwhile, there are no previews for A.X.L. to talk about, but at least some reviews have trickled in. They are not good. It’s too soon to tell if they will be worse than The Happytime Murders’s reviews will be, but that’s hardly a battle worth winning.
