I agree with Poseidon. Midnights were bigger events and would more consistently do well and break records than the late night showings we have now. I think best case scenario, the late night showings match midnights.
-
Where is this Mad Max screening?
-
Surprised at the IMAX record considering it wasn't filmed in IMAX whereas DKR was.
My goal for this has been simply to beat the $207m of Avengers. I still think it will.

Numbers so big, it'll take forever to count. We'll be waiting a while guys.

Does anyone think this will be successful? I can't see it being bigger than Exodus. Although, I do root for Lionsgate's success in becoming a major studio. Even if their recent marketing endeavors have left me a bit cold ahem*MJ2*ahem.

I'm not sure what I think of the "fairness" of late night vs midnight showings. Although the quantity of showings improved greatly with late night screenings and time constraints for audiences becomes less of a problem, the "event" and spectacle has reduced greatly with late night showings. The urgency to see these movies on Thursday nights didn't translate fully when adjusting to 7-10pm showings. Thursday's now feel like just another day. At least that's how I feel, and it seems I'm not alone since late night numbers have not been able to garner the box office results of many of the "epic event" films' midnights.

I'm thinking $25m as well. Should know within a couple hours.
This year so far has been so exciting box office wise! American Sniper takes Jan Record, Fifty Shades takes Feb Record, March does decent with Cinderella, Home, and Insurgent but definitely no records, Furious 7 puts the year back on track with April record, and now Avengers:AoU!
I know I'm not saying anything new, buts it's fun to reflect.

Bummed about the delay. This was one of my more anticipated movies of Summer 2016. And it feels more like a July movie.
-
Looks cheap and generic. I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised...oh well.
-
Not sure what I think of the poster. But I know I don't like the font.
-
Okay, only have about 120 pages left of the book. Have to say, it is very good so far! Surprised by how there isn't really a main character.
-
Ghostbusters will (probably) be a hit, I also think King Arthur could be big. Power Rangers also has potential, but the "action" crowd is already satisfied the weekend it's at.
I think Power Rangers is a lot more likely to be a hit than King Arthur
-
Is it possible AOA wins the weekend with that number?
Considering I'm thinking only $16m for F7, I say yes! It's possible.
-
Quite good for Age of Adaline! Especially after some recent predictions as low as $6.8m. Shouldn't be too frontloaded. OW over $15m isn't out of the question. I'll guess $14m for now.
-
I don't really want either of them for the red ranger. Not sure who I want yet but I'll think about it and let you guys know haha.

Does the sequels get kinkier sexually ?
Not by much if at all, IMO. Maybe I'm desensitized lol.
-
It probably won't come out in 15 months, I bet it is gonna get pushed
Yeah, I'm getting that feeling too. I hope not though.

In that weekend starts a huge holiday week in China. The move was made because of that.
But why not release it either a week earlier or a week later in the U.S.? Just to avoid bootlegs?
-
I really want to hear some casting info. Comes out in 15 months. Should be hearing something soon. I'd imagine they'd want to start filming in the next few months.
-
No, it shows confidence. MLK weekend is a great weekend. January 29 is dumping ground. If Sony moved it, it is because they are confident in their product.
But why would Kung Fu Panda move to a dumping ground? It's obviously going to be the biggest movie of the month.
-
I liked The Road/Walking Dead tone at the beginning when Cassie's on her own mixed with the flashbacks. Interested to see how this is adapted, Maika Monroe as Ringer is a major plus.
Yeah, after It Follows, I'm so on board for Maika!
-
This action a lack of confidence in the film?
Probably. Probably wanted to get away from Kung Fu Panda 3. Best case scenario this becomes another Maze Runner domestic and Divergent overseas. Not that I'm rooting for it to fail though. Im 60 pages into the book and it's very good so far.

E.L. James is such a joke. Can't believe she is being this big of a headache for Universal. Feel bad for Dakota Johnson. She's too good for a sequel written by unknown Mr. E.L. James.
Basically E.L. James is writing the screenplay herself since I'm sure she will be peering over her husbands shoulder every sentence of the way.

This would lead me to believe that losing 5 hours (back down to 24) wouldn't hurt AoU too badly as the Thursday was less front loaded and if you added 5 hours to DH2 it might have helped considerably as Thursday nights were more frontloaded for DH2.
But ultimately, I don't believe the extra 2-5 hours make too much of a difference because I think the late night and midnight showings get around the same turnout.
