filmlover Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The actual Thursday number itself will paint a clearer picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMisfits Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Let me be amused...Top Critics now prefer Baywatch to Pirates by %...wonder if this will flip among all critics by tomorrow (since Pirates has sunk to 26% and Baywatch has risen to 21%)... There's an amusing ad to be made "Come watch the critically preferred movie of the weekend"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re the Millers went on to make a $6.8M Wednesday before legging out to a $26.4M three-day and $37.9M five-day. Let’s Be Cops earned $5.2M on its first day including previews, and then $17.8M over three and $26.2M over five. Didn't those two films both come out late in the summer? I don't really think they are good comparisons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fast and the Furiosa Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Obviously the Hangover sequels were that, sequels, but this preview number is much lower than either of those films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better comparaison also from Deadline in case you still wondering: ....Other comps to Johnson and Efron pics are hard, since they typically previewed on a Thursday night. Last year, Efron’s Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising grossed $1.67M on its preview night (vs. the original’s $2.5M) which continued on to make $8.8M on Friday and $21.8M opening. Comparing Baywatch to Johnson’s pics San Andreas and Central Intelligence doesn’t make sense as both were PG-13. The wrestler-turned-actor’s last R-rated film was Michael Bay’s Pain and Gain which drew $750K on its Thursday night followed by a $7.5M Friday and $20.2M opening.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pain & Gain was also an April release. All schools aren't out yet but a lot of colleges are Neighbors 2 is a better comp - Baywatch isn't a sequel but it's playing off a known brand.

TwoMisfits Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I personally love Shrek 2, which also got a last minute switch to its release date which was not corrected in many ads and which led to less screens/theaters than it truly opened in...if we're picking movies to match a situation we really haven't had before:)...

Cmasterclay Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 As said I have no idea how to read that number, considering pretty much no one knew it came out today/last night. I only learned last week! Why did they move it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been the unknown on this movie...they moved it but didn't even change all the national ads...if it's like Shrek 2, it could have a poor Thursday and still rebound high on the weekend (Shrek 2 had a pretty bad vs expectations Wed/Thurs before a huge weekend)...

KJsooner Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Usually go see a movie around Memorial Day weekend, but I can't seem to muster up excitement with baywatch or Pirates 5. Especially with the shitty reviews. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
