EXCLUSIVE: Apple Original Films and Paramount‘s Martin Scorsese directed, Leonardo DiCaprio-starring Killers of the Flower Moon, landed on more tracking services today and is set for an opening around $24M. Duly note, that new tracking service Quorum, which does six-week projections also had the same estimate two weeks ago.
Killers of the Flower Moon is currently tracking well with men and women over 25.
With a running time of 3 hours and 26 minutes, Killers of the Flower Moon is the second longest movie of Scorsese’s career after The Irishman which clocked in at 3 hours and 29 minutes. That Netflix movie didn’t get a wide theatrical release, rather limited with unreported grosses. If Killers at its length can open to a $20M+ number, boosted by Imax, that’s commendable, despite the fact that the movie cost $200M. Note when it comes to assessing the profitability of movie, or breakeven, streamers don’t assess the same way a studio does in downstream revenues.
One of the comps on tracking for Killers of the Flower Moon is DiCaprio’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood which had a running time of 2 hours and 41 minutes with a $41M. DiCaprio’s Oscar winner The Revenant, which clock in at 2 hours and 36 minutes, and went wide in its third week, saw a 3-day then of $39.8M
In the wake of making its world premiere at Cannes, Killers of the Flower Moon notched a 97% fresh critical score on Rotten Tomatoes.
