Quick thoughts:

* Decent start for Goosebumps, especially considering the age of the franchise (early-mid 90s) and Jack Black's fading relevance. It had a budget of ~$60M so should turn a tidy profit.

* Spielberg's Bridge of Spies had a soft opening, especially considering Hanks is involved as well. Hopefully good word-of-mouth and award buzz will carry it through with good legs.

* Pan, +60% drop, oh dear. Bombs away!
