Can't even beat Fishman at #6. Might gross $10m.

There was only one wide release this weekend, Bleecker Street’s Ariana DeBose-Chris Messina-John Gallagher, Jr. international space station thriller about Russian and U.S. astronauts’ battle beyond the stars, I.S.S. At a $3.3M opening at 2,520 theaters, it’s easy for mainstream box office press to declare this a bomb. But here’s the post-pandemic reality (and this even started before then, frankly): For those handling distribution here, it’s not always about a box office rally. Similar to the Lionsgate model, it’s about an appropriate P&A spend and low MG that will pull the title along in ancillary windows.

If it's SEG funded.... no big loss.

They stopped updating BO Mojo after one week: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl2101706753/
Might updated it on Sunday. Only $4.2m. It is still in theaters?

It's actually in it's 4th week! Why, the 3rd week was #18 with $434k? Gross $6.5m.

It opened in theaters? I thought it was another "direct to streaming" low budget movie. It didn't feel like a "release to movie theater movie".

I'll be honest, I didn't see any advertising for it and completely forgot about it until the reviews started coming out.
