![]() ![]() ![]() That drop is considerably more than the first two “Hotel” entries, but better than last summer’s biggest animated entry, “Despicable Me 3,” at 53 per cent. ![]() Sony is the first company this year to have two different films place first in consecutive weeks (it isn’t Disney). Last weekend’s #1, “Hotel Transylvania” (Sony) dropped 47 percent. It cost so little that even with some domestic marketing it should make a profit worldwide. Its initial gross was less than one fifth of the first film’s opening in April, 2015. Oddly, Universal didn’t push this in their marketing for this thriller about the dangers present on the web. The bi-national production tie continues. The original “Unfriended” was an independent film with Russian production roots acquired by Blumhouse and Universal. The third sequel this weekend is another Jason Blum-partnered film. “Unfriended: Dark Web” Jason Blum is back The Saturday gross fell 23 percent from Friday, virtually the same as before (though Thursday shows are a bigger deal today). What won’t happen is the repeat of the the staggering six time multiple seen in 2008. The movie is fourth in the Streep box office opening pantheon, behind the original “Mamma Mia!,” “Into the Woods,” and “The Devil Wore Prada.” Streep is barely in the movie, so claims that this is her biggest opening are dubious–especially if you adjust the grosses. No studio consistently delivers on femme-appeal projects with more ease. Universal marketed that as well as the “Pitch Perfect” trilogy. That’s close to “Fifty Shades of Grey” territory. Needless to say, women were the musical’s biggest target. It’s the right film at the right moment, with safe, no-brainer professionally delivered entertainment–and better reviews. The opening number not only reached the high end of expectations, but even a decade after the original, the comparisons are impressive. The drop from first to second film was lower than “Equalizer 2” - with 2018 prices, the first film opened to $35.8 million, compared to $34.4 million this time. This comes a decade after the first one, a strong performer (adjusted $186 million). “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” Universal “Mamma Mia!” is a global franchiseĪpart from the first-time Meryl Streep sequel appearance, “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” marks a rare attempt at turning a musical hit into a franchise. Otherwise he would not have entered the house through the backdoor or could have simply killed the 3 in the car first.In the week before 56-year-old Tom Cruise returns with the latest “Mission: Impossible” effort accompanied by kudos for his sustained career, it’s impressive how well the 63-year-old Washington can open a film from a less established series at less expense with less ensemble support. But McCall did not intend to kill Dave there, rather he wanted to send a message to the whole group, face to face.That was probably why the Resnik group was watching from the outside, to help Dave out in case McCall came for the kill.Using the logic from point 2, Dave would knew that McCall would eventually come to him. As Dave didn't receive message from the assassin's phone. McCall wasn't able to use the phone due to the encryption.More to it, I think Dave knew that McCall knew he was involved: Which lead to the only possibility that McCall actually did manage to decrypt the phone and therefore found out that Dave was behind all these.My guess is that the phone from Dave's pocket was a secret phone, for the jobs, killings and such.McCall knew Dave's number, so why he dialed the number? McCall had phone conversations with Dave earlier in the movie.And he pulled out the phone McCall called from his pants pocket. Dave put the assassin's phone into the coat pocket.So the assissation attempt made it pretty clear that it was from someone who knew of McCall's existence, lately, therefore it could only be Dave. McCall was not a supposed target as he was believed to have died.McCall was the only one who figured out that Susan knew that Calbert's case was not a suicide, and he only told that to Dave.McCall probably wasn't able to crack the phone, as he said the phone had military grade encryption.Just watched the film yesterday, so to my understanding, to your question 1: ![]()
