Maybe I'm missing something, but doesn't $1.5 million in previews seem to suggest Boss Baby is making $50+ million for the weekend?

 

Trolls made $0.90 million in previews (also starting at 5pm) and went on to make $46.6 million for the weekend.

Home made $0.65 million in previews (starting at 7pm) and went on to make $52.1 million for the weekend.

 

Unless we have some reason to expect the previews for Boss Baby to be more inflated and the movie to play somehow more frontloaded?

 

Peace,

Mike

 

 

 

 

It looks like they're betting on BB skewing a bit older because of Baldwin fans which would inflate Thur previews

Previews starts at 5pm now?

 

I didn't know that. That is soooo early. It used to be like 10pm or 11pm.

Why the beautiful blonde ladies of Hollywood all have short hair now ?

 

 

Long hair can be a PITA especially if you have young children with sticky grabby fingers.

But how well GITS is known in the USA ?

 

Anime is super niche in the US, don't you think so ?

LEGO Batman did 2.2 mil preview and only had 53 mil weekend without the help of spring break that Boss Baby had for it's preview, if boss baby does similar multi it will be at 36.14 mil opening weekend

 

That makes sense, but I didn't realize Lego Batman was considered an apt comparison. I would have thought Lego Batman skews a bit older (and more adult friendly/with more adult interest) than Boss Baby.

Yowza, that's only 200k short of Zootopia's previews for Boss Baby.

All hail box office queen ScarJo!

1.8m thursday night previews for Gits. That's decent, all things considered. A good comparison is with The Accountant, both have similar RT scores, and that one made 1.35m in thursday previews and 24.7 OW. Gits previws were 25% higher, so if this percentage stays, it could be around 30m OW.

[Poseidon]

That's a big number for BB and Friday already looks busy.

I have a hard time seeing this opening under $50m now.

I'm not sure zootopia and BB are comparable. BB might skew a little older. I honestly can't tell how it'll do.

 

B&B's Thursday's total was still strong

but BB is newer.

5 pm previews are mainly for animated movies.

With 1.8M, GITS should get to around 20-25M. BB looks on course for 50M

The Accountant skewed much older, though (around 2/3 its audience was over 35).

BATB is making a killing at my theater right now. My showing of GITS only has 2 other people with less than 10 mins to go

Oh I see. Thanks for the info.

[Nova]

I wouldn't be shocked to see BATB hit $50M+ and BB going high 40s. 

[TwoMisfits]

I wouldn't be surprised if Boss Baby has a shot for the weekend title...if it was given enough screens and seats - that's gonna be its limiting factor (although with those previews, it might get some last minute bump ups)...

[DAJK]

Bos Baby #1 this weekend I'm calling it

[boxofficeth]

Boss Baby to open at No. 1 and doubling the gross of GitS? Not too surprising but frankly didn't see that coming. 

 

We got 5 titles opening north of 40M. Hellya! 

 

Seems like March Madness is still on until its last day!
