This looks to be another big weekend so let me remind you guys about a few guidelines we have been following for such threads.
1. Off Topic conversations will happen due to the amount time in between box office numbers are released. However please remember that the main topic will be strictly weekend numbers and off topic conversations will be monitored and limited.
2. DO NOT POST SPOILERS. This includes for movies being released this weekend and any in the past month domestically. Spoilers will not be tolerated. This includes bootleg material or any type of material leading to piracy to new releases.
3. Please do not attack fellow members. Huge numbers can make everyone go crazy. Calm yourself. Have some yogurt or some green tea. There is no need for you to attack anyone on this forum because of their opinion. This happens a lot and we will be monitoring this throughout the thread. Have fun.
This post will be updated as we get numbers.
Thanks

2ND Update, 1:21PM: Word is from mid-day Friday estimates is that DisneyPixar’s girl Inside Out is coming on strong with a revised industry weekend estimate in the low $70Ms. While it’s not the Pixar opening record — that belongs to Toy Story 3 at $110.3M — it’s right up there with the super 2004 opening of The Incredibles at $70.5M. Universal’s Jurassic World per industry estimates is currently looking at a second FSS of $93M-95M, which if that sticks makes it clearly No. 2 among all pics’ second weekends behind The Avengers $103.05. Today’s other new wide release, Dope from Open Road is currently looking at an opening weekend of $5.5M at 2,002 playdates. Open Road snapped up Dope at Sundance with an estimated $7M minimum guarantee and a $15M P&A. The film is looking to rank outside the weekend’s top 5 as of right now. 20th Century Fox/Chernin Entertainment’s Spy has third with $10M and should raise its stateside cume to $74M by Sunday. Warner Bros./New Line’s San Andreas per industry forecasts is looking at $7M for FSS in its fourth weekend, with a total running cume by Sunday of $131M.

3RD UPDATE, 6:08PM: We’re now hearing that Disney-Pixar’s Inside Out is on track for a $30M Friday, which would turn into an $80M-$82M opening weekend. That’s amazing, as it doesn’t appear to be stealing much family business away from Jurassic World, which looks to be very close to the $28M-$30M range. That should yield a second frame of $100M-$103M. Again, if JW passes, $103.05M, it will be the biggest second weekend ever for a movie, beating The Avengers. Open Road’s Dope looks to be doing better than expected with an FSS opening of $7M-$9M. All based on industry estimates.
