that is just monstrous. if it does 47, i can't see it missing 90.

Weekend Box Office: 'It' Scaring Up Giant $45 Million-Plus Opening Day http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/weekend-box-office-it-movie-scares-up-record-thursday-night-1036714

it is but i think it can. Especially with good reviews and a last minute push. Also being two weeks away from Kingsman I think it opens up the playing field.

i think blade runner can do 60's.

just bought my imax tickets. ghat damn im excited. this is going to be damn BLAST tracking, starting tonight.

70 is the floor here. It needed good reviews to make that an established perimeter and now we have it. Truth be told I think the window is HUGE. Anywhere from 70 to even potentially 100. It needs to hit 50 with previews and Friday to have a shot at it but I really think this is a perfect storm scenario. Either way, WB has got to know they are about to have a historic weekend and the fact that they've kept the budget at 35 is just going to make this all the sweeter. Finally a weekend to look forward to.

do we have any real reviews yet? even things from twitter? I remember someone posting some screen shots that were from people from Cinemablend and a few more reliable sites...

We've seen 4 in just a little over two weeks. It's just too easy!

me and my roommates all got ours last week so yeah could def be in play.

A few weeks ago I thought this would land around 50 but I'm officially boarding the hype train. Regardless of reviews which I think won't have much effect on OW I'm seeing that this might be truly huge. There is a massive BO drought, everyone loves a horror film in the early fall and the marketing has been glorious. 70+ seems likely given the amount of posts and presence I have seen on social media. I wanted to be more conservative so I wasn't disappointed if it feel around tracking but fuck it I think we have a real September blockbuster on our hands.

I'm curious as to why Home Again didn't open next weekend. Even if it gets poor reviews I think Witherspoon back in her biggest genre draw would have given the film the top spot and some good spin for the press. It will be good counter programming to It but yeah it could have had a bit of short lived glory had it opened the week before.

Yeah, in this sense it reminds of streaming services in the music industry. Basically Spotify pushed a price point that would lead to MAJOR decreases in revenue for the traditional chains but it was at a cost that consumers were willing to pay. I was with MoviePass since Beta but I bailed when it hit 50 in Nashville and they started capping the number of users per day that could see a movie based on geographic location. You're right, if you see more than 4 movies a month it was still viable but I reached a point where I felt OBLIGED to go see movies because of what I was paying and it was starting to feel like a chore instead of a hobby. Even if they would go back to the 30/month price point I would stay. But the $99 plan they were doing in the end for all movies including 3D and IMAX was nuts and was for a VERY niche audience. Seems to me like this was more about raising awareness of the company than anything.

i am VERY curious to see what moviepass new admission plan is going to do to some of the dailies. i was a part of their beta program and stayed with it for two years until they raised the price in nashville to 50/month. but 10 a month is a no brainer and its spread like wildfire on social media. idk how long they can sustain the business model but I am interested to see if people start jumping at the opportunity and we se some real sway in the numbers.

Finally watched The Circle yesterday. What a MESS of a film. No idea how they got the cast to sign on to such a POS.

I want to see It do well but Jesus 80 million OW predictions seem completely unfounded to me. And setting yourself up to be disappointed. I'm not saying it can't happen I'm saying there's literally nothing pointing to it.

The release date for 'It' is going to be one of the most well calculated of the year. A HIGHLY anticipated horror remake, close to the start of fall (when these films typically can do some great numbers) in an absolute draught of a schedule. Regardless I think it hits 40 but if this thing can churn out a fresh rating I could legit see 50 being in play OW.

Seems strong. Guessing it's also in for a giant Tuesday.

Gitesh Pandya‏ @GiteshPandya 9s10 seconds ago More Strong $6.4M MON for #Dunkirk, off just 51% from SUN. 1st full week shd reach about $75M. Will get near $100M after 2nd wknd. 0 replies0 retweets0 likes

Just saw this in true 70mm. Stunning.

man this really got me. seriously maybe the most moving film of the year for me. tries to unpackage a lot of big themes in a short amount of time. one of the gold standards in terms of a trilogy, up there with the nolan's batman.

i side with this line of thinking as well. even if apes breaks out I don't see much higher than the last in terms of opening weekend and Dunkirk/Valerian aren't going to steal from the audience either. Would be very surprised to see it miss 300.

lol this is nuts. Spidey 3 OW makes perfect sense coming off of one of, if not THE most revered superhero movie in the past two decades. Social media did not have the immediacy it does now and people saw the film expecting a worthy follow up. The logic you are using here to set the bar for success is crazy.

also holy hell at this DM3 international number. Massive $173M global wknd for #DespicableMe3 led by $66M opening in China, biggest ever for a toon. WW total now $447.6M going to $800M+.

Very good OW for Spidey. I think that Friday number had us all hoping for 130 but to call this a disappointment or underwhelming is insane. Sony did a killer job getting the franchise back on track and making a film that will entertain most anyone. WW officially getting the summer crown has to be one of the most fun BO stories I've had the pleasure of tracking since about '05.

If it hits 52-53 I can't see it missing 130 for the 3 day which is seriously PHENOMENAL. Sony has got to be so insanely happy. SPIDEY IS BACK FAM.
