The Daisy Ridley zombie film was acquired out of SXSW by Vertical. There\u2019s a divide between Rotten Tomatoes critics and audiences at 86% fresh to 48%, and a very bad definite recommend from Screen Engine\/Comscore PostTrak audiences at 24%. Result makes this the best opening for a Vertical release with the movie playing well in the West, where close to a third of ticket sales are coming from, versus the 21% average for other pics in the marketplace. AMC Dine-In in Montclair, CA is top grossing venue for the Zak Hilditch-directed movie with close to $8k. 57% guy leaning, 55% between 18-34. Diversity demos are 47% Caucasian, 25% Latino and Hispanic, 12% Black, 8% Asian American and 8% other.<\/p>\n

\n\tFRIDAY PM: If all goes right for 20th Century Studios\u2019 Avatar: Fire and Ash this weekend, in addition to crossing $1 billion worldwide, the James Cameron directed sci-fi movie will cross the $300M threshold stateside. Tonight, we\u2019re hearing the pic\u2019s third weekend is around $35M at 3,835 theaters, -44%, after a $13.4M Friday, which will get the threequel to $301M by Sunday. <\/p>\n
\n\tAvatar: Way of Water\u2018s third weekend was Dec. 30-Jan 1, which did $67.4M (+4%), while its first weekend of 2023, technically the sequel\u2019s fourth frame, grossed $45.8M (-32%). In hindsight, it\u2019s interesting how well Way of Water hung in there, despite everyone miss-comping the title to Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the misperception that the sequel actually opened under projections. The original Avatar\u2018s third weekend fell on the first frame of the New Year 2010, that\u2019s when the pic grossed $68.4M. <\/p>\n
\n\tToday there were 94% K-12 schools on break and 97% colleges on break according to ComScore. Those numbers eases to 45% K-12 out and 84% colleges on break on Monday, which is still great for the movie business. <\/p>\n
\n\tZootopia 2 is the gift that keeps on giving for Disney with a sixth weekend of $17M at 3,285 theaters, -14%, after a $6.6M Friday. Cume by EOD Sunday is $361.6M. That sixth weekend is more than Moana 2\u2018s a year ago, which did $12.4M, however, that sequel was bigger out of the gate than Zootopia 2 by $66.6M with a running cume through its sixth Sunday of $425.2M. Still a fantastic hold by Zootopia 2 versus Moana 2\u2018s -34% a year ago. <\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tAmanda Seyfried in \u2018The Housemaid\u2019<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDaniel McFadden\/Lionsgate<\/p>\n
\n\tLionsgate\u2019s The Housemaid is currently claiming third with $12M+ at 3,070 theaters, -22%, after a $4.6M Friday. Total by Sunday for the Paul Feig directed thriller, Hidden Pictures production is $72.8M, which will be far past the filmmaker\u2019s previous Lionsgate black comedy, A Simple Favor, which ended its stateside run at $53.5M. <\/p>\n
