Me too. I'm sure it won't be a hit or anything, but it seems like a good movie. Plus Favreau, SJohansson and RDJ (even if only for a single scene only) reunited!

So around a $31 K screen average for Chef for the weekend. That's solid.

Deadline's busy with the TV renewals and pickups (the upfronts).

How? It's breaking out big time. 16-18M opening day is huge for an original comedy.

Big Friday for both Neighbors and TASM2.

1. Mockingjay Part 1 2. Interstellar 3. X-Men: Days of Future Past 4. A Million Ways to Die in the West 5. Transformers: Age of Extinction 6. Gone Girl 7. The Amazing Spider-Man 8. Lucy 9. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 10. Guardians of the Galaxy

MoS' OW was amazing, but the performance of the movie since then has been beyond terrible. And some people are still trying to argue: "Oh, but it has good WOM!". That's silly. The critics' reviews were right on the money, the movie is the definition of mediocrity and sub-par in every department not called action.

You never know with Cameron.

I haven't seen it, but it got better reviews than MoS by a tad, right? I'll try to give it a try later.

How do you know? Cameron has reportedly nearly finished the script.

You're saying it will win the year in which Avengers 2 and Avatar 2 are released? Good luck with that.

Wow MU could crack 100M OW if the OD increases by 1-2M. Astonishing! And very solid for World War Z. I'm happy for them, at least they are not rotten, unlike MoS. I have to admit that MoS had a sensational OW, but its legs since then were toxic. I expect it to barely crack 300M, best case scenario. MU2 might head toward a 350M IMO, while WWZ towards a 175M. Solid.

Wow, very solid result for MoS. I ate crow for my 90M OW prediction. But I'm still keeping my under IM1 prediction i.e. under 318M DOM. I don't really understand whe the 400M talk is coming, it has more chances to do under 300M than to do above 400M. It obviously won't do less than 300M, but even for 350M it will require legs of 3.1+. Not realistic. Anyway, I think we should be waiting for actuals to see if this is a new June OW record indeed, as it's now pretty close to TS3. I don't really want it to beat TS3's OW - the latter is a much, much superior movie. Still very solid for MoS.

Wasn't his brother helping with the script? Jonathan is brilliant nonetheless, but I'm just saying.

I'm not sure if there will be any storm, to be honest. MoS will open less than the first Iron Man adjusted for sure, perhaps even less than the unadjusted $98M figure. The only reason why 100M is on the table is Nolan's presence as a producer. But James Cameron's films that he only produced but not directed always flopped on the other hand.

Huge number for The Purge if true. The Purge OD >> Internship OW? Owen Wilson doen't have any star power; in fact, he is closer to being box office poison given the last few years. But reuniting him with Vince Vaugh might have added a nostalgia element tho.

STiD might drop like a rock, if that helps.

Good for you. It won't.

Wow that seems huge for Hangover 3.

So it skewed more towards males this time by 4%. TGG is responsible for this difference, but the effect doesn't seem huge tho, although it seems significant.

And in the first few months, more than half of the people were in. It was never a competition, tho.

What was the gender ratio for ST09?

Agreed. Its 4.5-days OW could not even do half the business IM3 did in its first three days. StiD should struggle to do 200M whereas IM3 will do 425M+. That STiD > IM3 club was a total joke.

Speaking of the West and East Coast, does anyone have a breakdown/ an idea of whether superhero movies tend to perform better on the West/ East Coast relative to other action movies and so on?

It's just funny how each new number seems at the opposite end of the estimates this weekend.
