    Matinee numbers are starting to come in and industry watchers are revising estimates on the three new pictures out this weekend. Remember, these are early numbers so we are ticker-taping it. First up, is Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant which had a production budget of about $110M. The three-day currently looks to be in the range of $41M to $42M with the third weekend of Disney/Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 estimated to take in around $30M which would bring its domestic total to $296.7M.

     

    Meanwhile, MGM/Warner Bros.’ female teen-targeted film Everything, Everything is holding in line with earlier estimates of right around $10M to $12M for the weekend, with some trackers showing it possibly slipping a little.

     

    Fox’s other offering in the marketplace, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul — which will see most of its business over the family going movie days of Saturday and Sunday, is very soft today and estimates are being taken down a notch. So maybe $3.2M today for an $9M to $11M weekend.

    Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 (2017)

    First off, screw the Internet for spoiling the "Mary Poppins" joke. In context the line was so hilariously badass and it sucks I didn't hear it firsthand.

     

    Outside of that, everything else was rad. Some of the jokes sucked, but everything else was fun, emotional, and all that other good stuff. Whoever wrote that Zune joke needs an Oscar. Don't know what else to say.

    Maybe the site and the iPad app have different time-frames when updating the top5? That's indeed a bit weird if it keeps happening! Let's keep an eye on that.

     

    Also I just saw on pulse that there's a 10 year anniversary edition of The Fifth Element selling?? That's awesome, I wish I could watch it on a big screen.

    I believe somebody on the old thread mentioned how the browser version either is behind the iPad version or that it repeats or something? Don't know the details but I think it was @TalismanRing or @Matrix4You who said it.

    What will be the indie breakout(s) of the summer?

    Can't believe we're not talking about It Comes At Night more. That could very well be the next The Witch.

    I believe the movie is going into wide release and filmlover's only talking about limited release movies.

     

    As for the question, The Big Sick seems the most likely. Typically indie drama-comedies do well in the summer, so Chef or (500) Days of Summer numbers wouldn't surprise me.
