TEMPS MAY BE HITTING 100+, BUT HOLLYWOOD'S HITTING BRAKES. WEAK-END AHEAD WILL HAMMER HOME THAT SUMMER'S OVER FOR MOVIEGOING. NONE OF THREE WIDE OPENINGS IS TRACKING OVER NORM FOR FIRST CHOICE. EXPECTATIONS ARE MODEST FOR LIONSGATE'S "FALL," A24'S "BODIES BODIES BODIES" & GRAVITAS VENTURES' "MACK & RITA." EXITS FOR HOLDOVER "BULLET TRAIN," WHICH SONY OPENED TO $30M LAST WEEK, DON'T SUGGEST GREAT WORD OF MOUTH & CRITICS ARE GRIM 53% ON ROTTEN TOMATOES....

LIONSGATE'S PG-13 THRILLER "FALL" HAS AVERAGE FIRST CHOICE SCORE FOUR POINTS BELOW NORM. BEST DEMO: -25F (TWO POINTS BELOW NORM). NEXT BEST: -25M (THREE POINTS BELOW NORM). OPENING AT ABOUT 1,400 THEATRES. DIRECTED BY SCOTT MANN ("HEIST"), IT'S STORY OF TWO GIRLS (GRACE CAROLINE CURREY & VIRGINIA GARDNER) CLIMBING 2,000 FEET TO TOP OF ISOLATED ABANDONED RADIO TOWER WHERE THEY'RE STRANDED WITH NO WAY DOWN. EARLY MEDIA BUZZ: $3-5M. ...

GRAVITAS VENTURES' PG-13 DRAMEDY "MACK & RITA," OPENING AT ABOUT 2,000 THEATRES, HAS AVERAGE FIRST CHOICE TRACKING FIVE POINTS BELOW NORM. ALL "MACK" DEMOS ARE BELOW NORM BY FOUR TO SIX POINTS. DIRECTED BY KATIE ASELTON ("THE FREEBIE"), IT'S STORY OF YOUNG WOMAN (ELIZABETH LAIL) HAVING WILD WEEKEND IN PALM SPRINGS WHO WAKES UP TO FIND SHE'S BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO HER 70 YEAR OLD SELF (DIANE KEATON). EARLY MEDIA BUZZ: $1-2M...

A24'S R RATED COMEDY HORROR THRILLER "BODIES BODIES BODIES," OPENING AT ABOUT 1,000 THEATRES, HAS AVERAGE FIRST CHOICE TRACKING FOUR POINTS BELOW NORM & ALL DEMOS ARE BELOW NORM. WORST SCORES FROM +25F, WHO ARE SIX POINTS BELOW NORM. DIRECTED BY HALINA REIJN ("BLACK BOOK"), IT STARS MARIA BAKALOVA & AMANDLA STENBERG. IT'S STORY ABOUT AFFLUENT YOUNG PEOPLE WHOSE PARTY GAMES AT REMOTE FAMILY MANSION TURN DEADLY. CRITICS LOVE "BODIES" WITH 91% ON ROTTEN TOMATOES. AUDIENCE SCORE IS OKAY BUT NOT GREAT 79%. EARLY MEDIA BUZZ: $4-6M....

EXITS FOR SONY'S "BULLET TRAIN" ARE OKAY, BUT NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO SUGGEST FABULOUS WORD OF MOUTH. TOP TWO BOXES (EXCELLENT & VERY GOOD) ARE SEVEN POINTS OVER NORM. DEFINITE RECOMMEND ALSO SEVEN POINTS OVER NORM. SCORE FOR "MET EXPECTATIONS" IS SLOW 11 POINTS BELOW NORM -- NOT ENCOURAGING FOR WORD OF MOUTH. NONETHELESS, WITH NO HIGH PROFILE COMPETITION HITTING THEATRES UNTIL MID-OCTOBER, POTENT COMBINATION OF BRAD PITT & DIRECTOR DAVID LEITCH ("DEADPOOL 2") COULD KEEP "TRAIN" ON TRACK. ...

HFPA & GOLDEN GLOBES BACK IN HEADLINES AS LONDON'S DAILY MAIL ONLINE POSTS 8/8 REPORT HEADLINED: "EXCLUSIVE: BID TO GET GOLDEN GLOBES BACK ON TV IS 'HANGING BY A THREAD': NEW SCANDAL LOOMS AS HFPA MEMBERS CUT A DEAL TO BE PAID $75,000-A-YEAR EACH DESPITE NBC DROPPING SHOW AFTER IT WAS REVEALED THERE WERE NO BLACK PEOPLE ON THE VOTING PANEL." PER DM'S JOSH BOSWELL: "SOURCES NOW SAY THAT MEMBERS' HOPES OF A SWIFT RETURN TO PRIMETIME IN EARLY 2023 ARE 'HANGING BY A THREAD'...WITH JUST FIVE MONTHS TO GO BEFORE ITS NEXT AWARDS, THE SHOW HAS NO HOST, NO CONFIRMED EVENT DATE, NO STAR SUPPORTERS AND NO CONFIRMED BROADCASTER. ONE INSIDER TOLD DAILYMAIL.COM THAT NBC HAS 'YET TO AGREE TO A DEAL WITH THE HFPA AFTER SO MUCH TURMOIL AND UNCERTAINTY FROM HOLLYWOOD'S BIGGEST AGENCIES, PR FIRMS AND TALENT ABOUT WHETHER THERE HAS BEEN ENOUGH CHANGE WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION.'"...
