'The House With A Clock In Its Walls' Sounding Near $27M Alarm; Counterprogramming Still In Deep Sleep
Matinees proved magical for Amblin/Universal's The House With a Clock In Its Walls which pulled in an estimated $11.5M on Saturday, which repped a huge 47% surge over Friday's $7.8M (which included Thursday night's $840K previews). With a revised opening estimate of $26.9M, the haunted family title easily ranks as director Eli Roth's best opening over–the first time he's crossed over into the PG genre as a filmmaker–besting 2006 horror title Hostel which opened to $19.55M. Among his feature-length directorial credits, House is also Roth's best reviewed at 68% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Imax drove $2.5M of House's business at 400 houses with a new Imax version of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video playing before the pic.
Family titles like House can be Rotten Tomatoes-proof, but not weepy melodramas like Dan Fogelman's Life Itself which made $780K Saturday, about even with Friday, for a $2.1M three-day reported by Amazon.
NEON/AGBO's Assassination Nation was slightly higher today than Friday, with an estimated $460K to $418K which is pushing it to $1.1M over FSS. NEON boss Tom Quinn has no regrets over the Sundance pick-up and believes history will be on the side of the teenage rebellion satire: "Sam Levinson has created a bold, visionary and ultimately cathartic response to the dumpster fire that is 2018. We're admittedly disappointed more people didn't come out this weekend, but those that did were loud and overwhelmingly positive. It's going to take more time for Assassination Nation to find its audience, but even Heathers wasn't made in a weekend (total domestic B.O. $1.1M)."
Bleecker Street's Keira Knightley drama Colette about Gigi Nobel-prize winning novelist Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette posted a $39K theater average at four NY and LA venues or $156,7K. Measured against the two-time Oscar nominated actress' previous limited launches, that screen average is below The Imitation Game's $119K but ahead of Never Let Me Go ($27,9K) and Begin Again ($26,8K).
Annapuran's Sisters Brothers was also solid drawing $122K or $30K per location at four NY and LA runs. Both Sisters Brothers and Colette had excellent RT scores respectively with 82% and 92% certified fresh; ratings you need to have when it comes to launching specialty fare during awards season.
