Box Office Showdown (11/10-11/12) Murder on the Orient Express, Daddy's Home 2

[Chaotic]

Murder on the Orient Express
Fox


Daddy's Home 2
Paramount

[Monterey Jack]

Daddy's Home 2 is one unneccesary holiday-themed comedy too many after Bad Moms 2, and Orient Express has been badly mismarketed as an action movie(?!), and whodunnits are rarely big moneymakers.

Thor will be #1 but I'm kinda pumped for Murder on the Orient Express.

I could see Lady Bird cracking the top 10 with over 1 Million. Wouldn't be that difficult considering after #5 the numbers get really, really low.

I think I'll do Daddy's Home 2, Murder on the Orient Express and Foreigner this weekend.

I'm really, really torn on Thor: Ragnarok. On the one hand, you have Thor, you have Cate playing Hela and looking totally badass, and some other cool elements. OTOH, though, I've never been a big fan of Hulk (though I really like Ruffalo as Banner). And it sounds, at least from some reviews I've seen here, to be a bit too quippy for my tastes. I will probably wait for HBO, whatever for this one.

If I do go to the theater this weekend, or early next week, I'll see Murder on the Orient Express (what a great cast) and Bad Moms Christmas. Those two look very good to me. And I was a huge fan of the first Bad Moms movie.

As to the box itself, I fear that Daddy will come Home to the #2 spot.

I see Thor, Daddy’s Home 2 and Murder on the Orient Express making up the top three in that order. I’ve seen Thor already, and loved it, but I also want to see those other two. They look like a solid time at the movies. Lithgow looks hilarious in DH2 and the cast in MotOE looks great.

[Star Lord]

Thor will be Ragna 'Rocking' the #1 spot this weekend as well.

[MikeScott]

Great Thursday numbers for the openers but some of that was definitely due to many having off work today.

[235to1]

Looks like $61-$63 million for Thor 3 this weekend putting it at $215+ million.
Very amazing. Should finish well over $300 million in the us . maybe over $350 million if the Thanksgiving holiday is good to it.

#2 - Orient express - $24 million
#3 - Daddy's home 2 - $21 million

Saw DH 2 today, will probably see Orient Express tomorrow. Foreigner is gone here.

Orient Express is doing pretty well for a period whodunit.

Friday grosses

Thor: Ragnarok reaching a billion is a huge possibility!
Impressed that Murder On The Orient Express did well.

[Chaotic]

Less than 30% drop for Bad Moms. Wow.

[Britbuffguy]

Gave my money to Bad Moms 2 and Orient Express today.

Moms was decent but not as funny as the first one, and Orient Express was a well made, super boring movie with one of the lamest endings I have ever seen. Such a let down for that cast.
