[nomyth]

Yeah, I'm still not totally sold on 40M yet but I do think it should get #1 this weekend.

7:20 Wimpy Kid: 2/78

7:30 Everything: 13/78

[ChipDerby]

I'm projecting Alien right at $43.7 mil for the weekend.

[WrathOfHan]

Alien is selling very strongly around Orlando. Even the Dolby past 10 PM at Altamonte (because of the Baywatch screening) is selling great.

Impressive: GOTG is hanging on to all of its theaters. 

[Cmasterclay]

I've gone from 44m to 37m to 33m back to about 37m for Alien. Tough one to pin down.

To whoever said Alien wasn't hitting #1 on MT:

 

It's doing better than I thought today, so that's a good sign. I'm expecting a very good preview number, around $5M, but I'm not quite sure it will translate into a $40M opening yet. Prometheus had pretty sizable midnights in comparison to its opening ($3.6M to $51M), so I can see Alien improving on that quite a bit.

Come on. With 5m previews its friday minus previews will hit low teens. With the kind of sat increase we are seeing these days that is enough for 40m. I would say 45m will happen.
