Bottom Line – All three lead actors aren’t exactly box office draws despite appearing in many hit films in supporting roles. The premise is cool but the film looks a little too weird to become a mainstream hit.
Bill’s Opening Weekend Prediction - $10M
Bill’s Popcorn Period* Prediction - $23M - $28M
*The Popcorn Period – The settlement date for all movie contracts takes place approximately four weeks after a film has been released in theatres. It is during these 4 weeks that a film will collect money at the box office. If a film makes $50M at the box office during these 4 weeks, the contract will cash out at $50. I refer to this time frame as the Popcorn Period.
