With Arrival and Enchanted sequel, it's good to see Adams as the leading star with box office success.

Is that number good for Nocturnal Animals?

Great number for Nocturnal Animals and Moana.

BoxOfficeMojo is predicting 14 million for Arrival. They are not always good with predictions. But they were the only site predicted a close opening weekend (25 million comparing to other sites's 14 million) for Arrival. I know the movie is not for the masses. But for the second week, I think it can still make 12 million to 13 million.

It's okay but not the best result for Arrival. Why is the theater count still so low?

There were rumors that Ben Affleck did not like her. He blocked her out for several jobs.

Agree. Considering she is in her 40s, her career is doing very well combining prestige and commercial films. Arrival will no doubt further her career.

This was from yesterday on Arrival's Fandango ticket sales.

Low theater counts?

How is this outselling Edge of Tomorrow?

Industry expectations earlier in the week forecasted the film would open in the low-to-mid teens, but that is beginning to look low at this point. After we've building a set of competitive titles to compare against an opening in the mid-twenties is seeming more and more likely. An examination of pre-release IMDb page view data against titles such as Elysium ($29.8m opening) and Edge of Tomorrow ($28.7m opening) show the film carrying a similar pace at the same point in the release cycle. Additionally, online ticket seller Fandango.com says the film is currently outselling Edge of Tomorrow at the same point in the Fandango sales cycle. While Cruise and Blunt may carry a bit more box office weight than Arrival's Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, those figures can't be ignored, which is why we're expecting an opening around $25 million this weekend.http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4240&p=.htm

Agree. This was a fun family movie.
