Fantasy Moguls EXCLUSIVE EARLY FRIDAY & 3-DAY ESTIMATES

"Weakest 'Ocean's' yet w/$12M Friday - $34.3M for the weekend; 'Surf's Up' soft w/$5M Friday - $15.2M OW; 'Hostel' tanks w/$3M Friday"

"$40M has been a foregone conclusion, and more than a few industry types, including yours truly, were looking for a $50M opening."

"Meanwhile, the once-highly-anticipated Eli Roth project Hostel II (Lionsgate) is a flat-out bomb. Originally set for release in January, Lionsgate now probably wishes that they had stuck with the original plan. This picture is getting “slaughtered” in the marketplace (which seems somehow fitting) with just $3M on Friday and a likely $7.3M for the weekend.I’ve been writing about horror genre fatigue all year, but this flop is essentially the nail in the coffin."
