Quick Guesstimates MU = 46.3 14.1 18.2 14.0 WWZ = 29.4 9.0 11.6 8.8 MoS = 19.3 5.9 7.7 5.7 P.S. Decided to check out which Pixar film closely matches MU but something else caught my eye. http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=toystory2.htm Never really looked at Toy Story 2 until now, and wow those are some giant spikes!

Come back! We can't take another Odinsleep on a Friday midnight!

Think Lone Ranger will do well in theaters. My local Barnes and Nobles have dress up days and I've already seen at least 2 kids dressed up as either Lone Ranger or Tonto and the films not even out yet. Plus I think the marketing is real good. Everywhere I go is Lone Ranger poster here and there, TV commercials everywhere. A lot of people I know are going to see it next wknd - their fans of the POTC films.

Rth has been in the Odin-sleep since Thurs. Did I say it right?

Amazing hold by Monsters Univ! If Nikki's # holds and MoS can get $20m wknd that would be great for it after it's eh performance last week. But then again she did report last Friday MoS was set to make $55-57m last wknd and she was off by almost 20%.

The article Nikki wrote last weekend, estimating that MoS would make $19m Friday and be neck-and-neck with WWZ, then later starts trashing WWZ after it became a blowout, probably ranks in her Top 5.

Feeling lazy to look up, but wondering if the drops seem similar with WB's last anti-Batman superhero film, Green Lantern.

Update: Actuals posted on pg. 9 with List courtesy of Punishment. 1 Monsters University $10,036,422 -15% 4,004 -- $2,507 $115,333,157 1 Disney 2 World War Z $6,226,175 -22% 3,607 -- $1,726 $88,294,543 1 Paramount 3 Man of Steel $4,112,073 -21% 4,207 0 $977 $223,924,818 2 Warner Bros. Rth: BoxOfficeZ: Thank you Rth and BoxOfficeZ. Rth, you should just start a new topic whenever you have your new numbers!

Forgot to compensate for the 4th of July weekend so the 3rd wkdy #s could be more like $12 - $13 mill? So it's going to be really close for MOS then. No more than $303 mill dom probably highest?

Doing a quick lazy est projection of MOS for the next 4 weeks: Week - Weekend / Weekday 2nd - 41.2 / 19.5 3rd - 19.5 / 10.8 4th - 10.7 / 5.7 5th - 5.6 / 3.0 By the 6th week MOS should have at least a cume of approximately $285 million. Yay, nay?

typical tuesday increases, thanks Rth

Haven't caught WWZ yet but my sister and her fiancee saw WWZ and gave it a good rating, which means I'm going to like it too since we share good tastes!

Out of 10: MU - 8 MAAN - 8 STID - 7.5 IM3 - 7.5 NYSM - 7 MOS - 6.5

Remember reading some article last year about 20 or maybe even 22% out of a 1,000 people surveyed actually depend on movie reviews and will pay to see, or not pay to see a film depending on how good/bad it's reviews are. It's not the best stat but if we can get some ticket counts... we could possibly est what a certain movie could have made if it had better reviews...maybe?

Well, Nikki was expecting at least $58M cume based on her Friday est... instead it's looking more like $42-$44M.

Thanks for the update guys. Great hold for WWZ and even better MU! Predicted about $43.5 for MOS, and it's right around that alley.

Guessing RTH had an update for Sat? Anyone estimate what page it was on? Or brief est of what was the est?

Zod didn't really bother me, except when he... Also didn't care much for Fiora and her constant preaching and nagging to Superman during their fights. I think the all-over-the-place pacing and the plot holes like the spoiler above, especially the more OBVIOUS ones in MoS that even my 13 year old cousin noticed: ... were the problems in our viewing.

$20M for MOS on Saturday would still be possible if it had a $14-$15M Friday. MOS's 71% drop mimics Green Lantern's 72% drop basically the same date in 2011. The way this pans out for MOS... estimating $16M Saturday at best (27% increase), and $13M Sunday. Basically around $42-44M for the 2nd weekend.

Just saw "Monsters University". 8/10. Makes you appreicate the original "Monsters Inc." even more. Simply adored the first 15 mins of the film. Loved the ending twist for THE ending. By the way, STAY AFTER THE END CREDITS too. P.S. Same theater from last night, was about full capacity, maybe even sold out, and seated 350-370.

Wow... I know Nikki's a WB gal and all and probably has her feelings a lil hurt, but still, why did she have to trash WWZ like that after it had taken the #2 spot from MOS? Her last Friday update said MOS (her est $19M) and WWZ (her est $20M) would be in a neck and neck race but we all know it wasn't even close, but to trash WWZ and Paramount on her latest update... Nikki, Nikki. http://www.deadline.com/2013/06/world-war-z-begins-international-roll-out-strongly-in-australia-korea/ ...oh Nikki Finke.

Reviews for both MU and WWZ have been great, high 70's - low 80's last time I checked, so it's deserving to see both do really well. Plan on seeing MU tomorrow... maybe WWZ too.

Speaking of pages, is it possible to add the page #'s to the thread title of when the Updates happened? It's always great to go back to see what the reactions were from all the posters here in the previous evening.

Saw MOS tonight too and felt most of the same thing, which I just posted on pg. 99 especially the pacing and all the obvious plot holes. I wouldn't mind seeing a different writer for a sequel.

We just got back from "Man of Steel". 6.5 / 10. It's not a good film - it's an entertaining movie, kind of like how I would say "Transformers" or "Iron Man 2" was. If I was 15-16 years old, I'd probably wouldn't care and liked it just for the action/explosions, but even that was too busy. Pacing was just all over the place with so many obvious plot holes like: Henry Cavill though was a good successor to Christopher Reeve. He had that Tom Welling look too! Superman is still my favorite superhero, but this movie, MOS, just could've been better, rather than just full of action. My 13 year old cousin liked it, my 8 year old nephew fell asleep. My theater was about maybe 75% full with a 370 capacity, we went to the 8 pm showing. There were a few applause after the film, but then some guy behind me started booing which got some people to the front laughing and some joined in on the booing. P.S. Pacific Rim trailer was sweet! Love Godzilla, so I'll be checking this out.
