A Madea Halloween. The old lady is giving the distributor its first No. M, dousing Sony’s Dan Brown threequel Inferno into second place with a revised opening of $1. M; some rivals believe the Tom Hanks movie could dwindle to $1.

Despite Inferno getting scorched, overall weekend ticket sales at $8. M were +1. 6% from last year. Still, it’s the lowest- grossing weekend to date this year, following Sept. Blair Witch, Bridget Jones’s Baby and Snowden crashed. B. O. 3. 0 period last year. Boo! We detailed what went wrong with Inferno stateside in our previous post; essentially peg it to Brown’s once controversial, riveting property gone formula, and critics smelled blood from the onset giving the Ron Howard- directed movie a 2.

Rotten Tomatoes score. Sony had their concerns about the seven- year lag between Angels & Demons and Inferno; that time could potentially be against them with this adult- skewing series. But the Brown movies have been very rich for the Culver City lot, reaping $1.

B, and if there was money to be made, it was certainly overseas. So, instead of making a movie with the $1. M cost of Angels & Demons, Sony slashed the budget on Inferno by 5. Even though Cinema. Score showed the same number of under 2.

Boo! Com. Score’s Post. Trak showed an under 2. In addition, Boo is playing to a more general audience.

Typically, Perry’s movies count an African American audience share between 8. Boo! Typically Madea pics decline between - 5.

By Sunday, Boo. All of this spells great news for Lionsgate which has seen way too many mega- misfires this year including Gods of Egypt, Allegiant and Blair Witch. We can’t ignore the fact that Inferno represents the fourth back- to- back stateside bomb for director Ron Howard (though Sony is declaring that the movie is the must- see title of the fall at the foreign B. O.) following last December’s In the Heart Of The Sea ($1.

M cost, $2. 5M domestic, $9. M global), Rush ($3. M cost, $2. 6. 9. M, $9. 0. 2. M), and The Dilemma ($7.

M cost, $4. 8. 5. M, $6. 9. 7. M). It’s typically at this juncture that the media loves exclaiming that the filmmaker has lost touch with his moviegoers. The fact is that Howard doesn’t shy from ambitious material (c’mon, a two- hander play Frost Nixon on the big screen?), and his last four titles have come with their own set of challenges. Despite having the then- comedic star power of Kevin James and Vince Vaughn, Dilemma was more of a dramedy dealing with an off- putting subject of infidelity. Plus that gay slur in the trailer didn’t help much for its publicity.

Howard’s Rush was a race car movie and that genre has zero B. O. In the Heart of the Sea was a tough novel to bring to the screen, content wise, with its clipper ship crew cannibalism, plus shooting on the water pushed its production cost higher. True, we’re accustomed to such Howard hits like the Oscar- winning A Beautiful Mind and Apollo 1. B. O. Like Howard’s late mentor Garry Marshall, he’s a genuinely nice guy. What Inferno might mean for Howard – and he went through this in making Rush – is that he’ll have to rely more on financing outside the studio system, particularly on any dream niche projects. Howard’s other title announced a year ago, the feature adaptation of J. P. Delaney’s The Girl Before, remains in development at Universal.

While most adult- demo thrillers like The Accountant and The Girl on the Train held up percent wise, Paramount/Skydance’s Jack Reacher: Never Go Back took a tumble with - 5. That’s the biggest drop for a Tom Cruise movie since his 2.

Lions for Lambs which fell - 5. Jack Reacher 2 is lagging behind Jack Reacher. Brian Brooks has further analysis on the Specialty side. Top 1. 1 films per studio- reported figures for the weekend of Oct. Tyler Perry’s Boo!

At the present time, Inferno. The Da Vinci Code continues to stand as a record opening for both director Ron Howard and leading man Tom Hanks’s live- action features. In fact, things are so bad for Inferno right now, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Lionsgate’s Tyler Perry’s Boo! A Madea Halloween post a fantastic Saturday night and steal away the No.

Should that occur, it would be a huge feat for Madea beating Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks at the box office in back- to- back weekends. Current projected second weekend for Boo! By Sunday, A Madea Halloween will be $2. M away from overtaking her last movie A Madea Christmas. It doesn’t help that Inferno is following in the wake of a slew of other solid- grossing adult thrillers at the B.

M). The only saving grace that was bestowed on Inferno was that the pic earned the same Cinema. Score as its two previous Dan Brown installments: a B+. Given the author’s global fandom with 2. M- plus books sold worldwide, Sony was wise to debut Inferno abroad first before hitting the U. S. When it comes to Hollywood tentpoles, foreign audiences are less severe in their reception, and by launching in the U. S. By Sunday, the fifth collaboration between Howard and Hanks will count a foreign cume of $1.

M, which includes a solid China opening of $1. M. Inferno is in better shape than Howard’s previous title, the $1.

M- plus budgeted disaster In The Heart Of The Sea ($9. M). But with this type of start in the U. S., it’s unlikely that Inferno will break even.

Counting an estimated global P& A between $7. M- $8. 0M, total theatrical expenses for Inferno stand at $1. M. Inferno burns Howard’s box office track record more than Hanks’ as it reps the director’s fourth back- to- back misfire after Heart Of The Sea ($2.

M domestic, $9. 3. M global), Rush ($2. M, $9. 0. 2. M), and The Dilemma ($4. M, $6. 9. 7. M). Fifty- six percent of those moviegoers who showed up Friday night cited Hanks as their reason for going, whereas 4.

Why did Sony make Inferno? Free Killing Ground (2017) Online. Business- wise, they were looking to extend their Robert Langdon adult franchise which brought them $1. B at the worldwide B.

O. The 2. 01. 3 book topped that year’s book sales, held the No. New York Times hardcover list for 1. M copies — a far cry from Da Vinci Code. Howard opted to skip directing the big- screen version of Brown’s 2. The Lost Symbol, but boarded Inferno instead. The biggest problem with Inferno is that it’s part of a franchise that has grown horribly stale.

More specifically, when it comes to the European- trotting high jinks of Robert Langdon, Da Vinci Code is an impossible act to follow. The first people to show up for a bestseller on the big screen are the hard- core readers, and Inferno received mixed book reviews, which also doesn’t assist in the movie’s start this weekend. When Da Vinci Code first hit bookstore shelves 1. Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene married and had children. It was a plot that Harvard professor Langdon uncovered. The book and film also lifted the veil on Catholic Church secret society Opus Dei. The stakes have been diluted in Inferno: Langdon is (yawn) trying to prevent a viral outbreak while decoding Dante’s Inferno as he’s pursued by adversaries throughout Florence, Italy and Istanbul, Turkey.

Before Da Vinci Code even opened in theaters, Sony was benefiting from a huge build- up in moviegoers’ interest around the globe.
