Good point. I forgot about it's theater counts compared to the other 2.

That's very impressive for Unbroken and Hobbits. Not sure if ITW was predicted to top $50M over the holiday weekend, but for it to be based on a popular musical and a with star studded cast, I expected to do higher numbers than $46-$49M this weekend.

Ugh! I want to like your post so much, but I apparently reached my like quota for the day. However, I will be back tomorrow.

Which is why I think HB2 and Interstellar will have a sharp drop next weekend, since both Exodus and Top Five are geared towards their target audiences. (Not really, but close enough)

It did better than it's estimate #.

I think more like $11m, considering it hasn't yet received it's dollar theater expansion yet domestically, which can give another $500k-$1m, plus it can squeeze out another $500,000+ from it's remaining OS theaters (excluding Japan of course). With that being said, while it can bomb in Japan like most YA or superhero movies, it can also surprise with over $10M, much like it surprised it's way to over $20M in Korea (and China), where most YA franchises failed to reach $18M (with the exception of HP). Most recently Mockingjay, which only grossed a measly $5M in Korea so far, and won't even make it to $10M.

And when you add it's domestic total of $101,042,000, it now has a WW total of $336,642,000, which is only $13,358,000 from hitting the $350M mark. And with a few more weeks left in theaters, and with Japan on the way, I don't see TMR missing those numbers. And all that success off of a $34M budget vs. $85M for Divergent. I can't wait to see how TMR: Scorch Trials does against Insurgent next year.

I will...catch them.

Good to know.

And Divergent is splitting part 3 into two part finale as well. Hopefully, The Maze Runner doesn't follow suit and just keep theirs as a trilogy ala the original Star Wars trilogy.

May?! What happened to premiering in February? Does anyone know if May is a good playing time in Japan? Is there a holiday in Japan during that month where TMR can benefit from it?

Please tell me you're being sarcastic.

It would be great if the top 3 all ended up over $30M when the actual numbers comes in.

Interstellar's Sunday's gross is estimated to be higher than it's Friday's: INTERSTELLAR Paramount 3,561 $8,300,000 +146.5% / $2,331 $76,920,000 / 10 $12,510,000 +50.7% / $3,513 $89,430,000 / 11 $8,380,000 -33% / $2,353 $97,810,000 / 12

4000+ according to BOM.

My bad, I was looking at the wrong numbers.

But Dumb and Dumberer never actually existed, it was just a figment of our collective nightmares.

Wow, IS numbers keeps dropping.

Thanks MazeRunner23.

TMR WW update: Domestic: $99,369,210 Foreign: $227,030,876 Worldwide: $326,400,086 It will pass $100M domestic this weekend. Is Japan the only market left for the movie, or are there others? And when does it open in Japan?
