It's gonna make less in total than the original made in its opening weekend. Why they thought anyone would care about Vin Diesel's return almost 15 years later, I have no idea.

Also with great word of mouth Split should gain some weekend momentum. Yeah yeah there's sports this weekend but that's not an effect 

It really wouldn't have any effect until Sunday anyway.   I never really understood that argument myself.  I mean the Super Bowl usually starts around 6:30 est on a Sunday.  That's more than enough time for people to go to movies if they want.

Put XXX on the list of movies I've never seen. 

[elcaballero]

Damn. I should have went a little higher on Split. Looking good for at least $35m.

I gues triple x could sneak past (ever so slightly) 20M for the weekend. Not much past 50-55M total, but I didn't expect much more from it anyways.

I doubt so. I think total will be around 60 - 80m. Of course its too early to tell. The original opened with 44m USD right?

So.. it will earn roughly half of the original's final gross. Not less than the opening weekend.

Great for Split! 

 

Going tomorrow night, can't wait!

Yeah, the original opened to $44M back in 2002. It's probably headed for about $50-55M total. At least they can claim it didn't do as awful as the Ice Cube movie did just 3 years after the first movie.

I have seen both XXX and State of the Union but I'd be in trouble if I had to remember anything about them at all  other than who the leads were.

 

And thats is a fantastic start for Split - looked like a fun film and with good reviews I am glad it's breaking out.

I prefer homemade XXX anyways.

[Incarnadine]

I need a little XXX in my life every so often.

Probably hoping for a little bit of that Fast money.

That franchise is pretty much the only thing that saved him from spending the rest of his career in obscurity, really.

Ok for XxX 3. If it had a modest budget like Riddick, it would be an ok win. It could debut in the low 20's this weekend. But Paramount might need to make a new game plan for 2017. Paramount needs to market Ghost In The Shell in a right way, and that's not likely. Paramount has Baywatch to be their hit this year, Friday The 13th could come out this year but we"ll see. 

[Mockingjay Raphael]

I'm glad that I predicted $30m+ for Split, unless there's a huge surprise, it is locked to be the biggest horror movie of year, that's what I call a comeback!

[Ezen Baklattan]

Silence is getting my money this weekend, but not gonna lie, I kinda sorta extremely want to see X-Cubed.

[John Marston]

the first XXX adjusts to $208,134,400. Funny how Vin Diesel seemed to be a bigger star before the recent Fast movies and his social media following
