Bohemian Rhapsody was huge last weekend. It also is popular with mainstream audiences, so we'll see how it holds up against November's big family films. Nutcracker did okay, but poorly when taken the budget into consideration. Again, the remaining family films might put it out for good. The Grinch should do well this weekend, but it'll probably be leggy throughout the next month and a half. Don't underestimate Illumination. Most predictions for Overlord are modest, but I thought the trailers were good and reviews are solid. With Halloween's strong October days over, it might do decent numbers. The Girl In the Spider's Web is coming too late to make significant numbers and it's a smart move by Sony keeping the budget low. A Star Is Born continues to be leggy and with award season bumps will probably be able to cross $200m. Lastly, Beautiful Boy expands to wide release but it's performance so far has been slight.
