| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to Slash Film Daily. Today is Monday, November 4th, 2024. On today's |
| 0:04.7 | episode of the show, we're going to be talking about the weekend's box office numbers. |
| 0:07.9 | My name is Ben Pearson. I am an editor at slashfim.com, and I'm joined on today's episode by |
| 0:12.2 | Slashfilm staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott. |
| 0:15.2 | Hey, hey, everyone. How's it going? All right, so Ryan, lately we've tried to start these episodes by running through the top 10 at the domestic box office for the previous weekend. I would like to do something a little bit different today and talk about a movie that is not in the top 10. And as far as we know, doesn't have any reported box office data at all. And that is juror number two. So tell me what Warner Brothers is doing with Clint Eastwood's potentially final movie. |
| 0:42.7 | Yeah, let's talk about this is, especially in light of what we'll talk about here |
| 0:47.6 | with what happened at the box office this weekend outside of this. |

| 1:10.7 | on Rotten Tomatoes. All signs point to this |
| 1:14.6 | being a damn good movie in one of Eastwood's best in a long time. Yet, what Warner Brothers |

| 1:25.5 | domestically, 50 theaters give or take this weekend, but domestically, uh, 50 theaters, |
| 1:28.0 | give or take this weekend, and that's about it. Uh, they are refusing to report, uh, |
| 1:33.4 | domestic grosses, which is very atypical for, for a big studio and, and this kind of movie. So, |
| 1:40.6 | you know, that's more of a Netflix move, you know, like when they released Glass Onion. |
| 1:47.3 | Yeah, and that's it. |
| 1:49.2 | So, you know, there are some estimates that it made, you know, $90,000 on its first day or whatever. |
| 1:55.5 | But there's no, there's really no knowing. |
