Goosebumps, Nuts, and Grinches - KIDS Makes it's First Plays

I finally got logged in, radared every kids movies I could think of, plus some that some may disagree on (Star Wars is for kids!  So are comic book movies!!!). 

We've got a couple of potential winners/losers coming up here:

  • Goosebumps 2 - a second installment that's doing much worse than the first.  With two weeks to go, it was possible that after a surprising $740k Tuesday, it could actually make it to $50M by the end of 4 weeks and the stock is sitting at H$44ish right about now. HOWEVER... the $383k Wednesday puts it just a tick over $30M and I think it's unlikely we make it to $50M.  KIDS is SHORT on Goosebumps 2.
  • The Nutcracker (and the 4 Realms) - With the amount of marketing Disney has shoved into this movie, you'd think it would be able to hit that $70M, 4 week total, but I think we can compare it to The BFG, which at week 4 had barely cleared $50M.  It might pick up a little steam going into holidays, but doubtful with things like The Grinch  and Fantastic Beasts 2 releasing one after the other and crushing any attempt to get some life.  KIDS is SHORT on Cracking Nuts. 
  • The Grinch - Oh here we go, another Dr Seuss property.  The Lorax, despite being a miserable pile of garbage (that I reviewed here...), made $177M by it's 4th weekend.  Jim Carrey's version of grinch made $196M at the 4 week mark.   I think it's pretty safe to say that at H$157, it's pretty low for what it has potential for.  KIDS is WAY LONG on unnecessary remakes!
Let's see how true it all is once those numbers roll in.  Hopefully we're going up up up!
