New Line’s terror movie Companion, which is wired with excellent word of mouth, is eyeing $4M today including previews, with an eye at $10M and a chance for upside in second at 3,285 theaters. At that level, at a less than $10M production cost (updated, we hear) and $29M global P&A, if this Sophie Thatcher-starring movie ultimately crosses $40M-$50M stateside, we hear it’s in a range to profit for the Burbank lot.

Watched it this afternoon -- in Burbank, coincidently -- a great film and one that I will definitely be rewatching.

Sunday AM: New Line’s Companion with a strong B+ CinemaScore (a high mark for horror on that grading scale) and solid 4 stars on PostTrak, is arriving within its tracking estimate of $8M-$10M with $9.5M after a $4M Friday (including $1.7M previews) and $3.1M Saturday. This horror pic cost under $10M and I’m told with its economics it’s in a position to profit.
