Fifty Shades Of Grey is destined for a huge tumble in week 2. It’s a Valentines entry, and it’s poorly reviewed. Even audiences only gave it a C+ cinemascore, so we can’t expect much long term. A drop of at least 60% should be expected. The Kingsman should hold better, dropping perhaps just under 50%.
This weeks new releases will have a hard time even hitting the top 3. Hot Tub Time Machine 2 should do the best, but without John Cusack, it’s just a sequel to a film that made a little over 50M. McFarland USA is getting good reviews, but it’s more of an under the radar thing. Same with The DUFF, which has no real stars.
Next week, Will Smith opens Focus, and that should be able to hit #1.
