Mr Rock even got executive producer credit on the Disney+ series about all the amusement park rides (one episode is dedicated exclusively to the Jungle Cruise ride)

I hear that the Dwayne Johnson and his Seven Bucks camp have no intention of battling Disney for any anticipated loss of dollars on this day-and-date release on the Jaume Collet-Serra-directed movie; the action star’s camp was in lock-step with the Mouse House when the announcement was made to deliver the pic to a global audience everywhere at a time when certain offshore theatrical markets (like Southeast Asia) are offline due to Covid.

Green Knight grossed 2.88 million on Friday (including 750k from Thursday).

C+ Cinemascore.

Jungle Cruise got an A- score right as expected. B- for Stillwater.

Not an F (as those are rare), but I was guessing C- and a D wouldn’t have been shocking. Jungle Cruise was exactly what I expected, thought Stillwater might’ve been a B or B+

Well, seems like things are going swimmingly for Jungle Cruise

Smooth sailing for Jungle Cruise, you might say.

Not horrible all things considered. We'll see if it can hold steady throughout the weekend.

[MazeRunner]

Jungle Cruise is probably going to have a Saturday drop so probably $28M for the weekend.

But good luck making that $200M budget + marketing back.

A drop from Friday or a Drop from Friday with the Thursday numbers added in? Friday was actually $10.68M

Even without a pandemic it's questionable whether it would have. Box office isn't everything anyway.

Exactly. We need to keep track of every penny. Then knock on people's doors and ask them if they want to buy movie tickets.

I'll call my accountants on Monday and ask them to go over the numbers....
