@ERCboxoffice I didn’t expect it to do great, but this is way worse than I anticipated. My gut feeling is Clayface is going to be marketed almost exclusively on the horror angle now.

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@ERCboxoffice Really glad the first half of the year was strong because this back half isn’t looking awesome at this juncture.

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@ERCboxoffice -heavy sigh- Things were looking good there for a bit, this last month has shown us that movies definitely aren't back yet.

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@ERCboxoffice ooooof. Worse than I was expecting.

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@ERCboxoffice Well then… even worse than I imagined. See you all in 2065 when they try this again.

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@Rob_Motto I rounded as we don’t have actuals yet. Still doesn’t change it’s not going to get close to $400M

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@Rob_Motto @ERCboxoffice Yes, it grossed around 25% of its budget. Now, factor in the percent that went to theaters in the U.S., the higher percent that goes to foreign, marketing… it needs closer to $400M global to break even, and it is not going to leg out.

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@ERCboxoffice I’ve waited years for this movie, but as the budget started ballooning I was pretty sure where it was heading.

@ERCboxoffice What YouTube property is next? Hot Ones: The Chickens Strike Back?

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@ERCboxoffice I just saw the 44% drop and immediately ran over here. That is one of the best signs we've had in ages that things may finally be getting back on track.

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@WizardsComics Felt like the only logical place for it to end up!

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@BenDukes @ScottDMenzel 100% this. Blum has proven the model works, but there seems to be a massive hesitation for this model outside of horror.

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@JordanMaison The first thought that went through my head seeing your tweet, “Anthony Mackie must have a new movie out…”

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@ERCboxoffice Have to admit, I didn't see domestic shooting that high. I was figuring around $70M.

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@Jeremyakee @WrestlingHumble I haven’t watched wrestling since the 80s or so… and yet here I am following Danhausen.

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@ERCboxoffice -sigh- never change, Jeff. Never change.

lol

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@Jesusmvr01 Well… you seem fun and well adjusted…

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

@ERCboxoffice Well, thank goodness Ed’s it now has to stay away from streaming to protect exhibition…

[Sean P. Aune @seanpaune]

Again… attendance numbers matter more than the dollar reports.
