Screening Notes
Have to say, Vengeance is surprisingly one the best films I've seen in the last couple of years...clever storyline with deep messaging; smart dialogue with snappy banter; wonderful acting, particularly Ashton Kutcher; surprise ending.
What saddens me with films like this is that it could easily generate a total gross of only $15M, which is crazy when you consider the totals on films like Jackass Forever (no offense, Paramount)…$23M opening weekend, going on to earn a total gross of $58M. The general moviegoing audience can be maddening!
Boxoffice Estimate
Focus Features’ distribution strategy to open on only ~500 screens is spot-on. This film will generate super word of mouth, is perfect for a platformed release plan, and could easily linger beyond Labor Day, maybe even doubling the total gross noted below.
Modeling lands at an opening weekend totaling $3.0M, with a range between $2.7M and $3.3M. I look for the film to sustain a 4.3x multiple on its way to a total gross between$11M and $14M.
