In last few days, but not in cumulative. CM opened right where fandago presells were pointing at. Going by single day of presells is wrong specially for movies that have more than 1 week of advance presells.
US, definitely pointed towards $7-$8m previews, so $6m would be a underperformance by presells.
Don't think there is any point in replying to zapzapped, as he don't want to learn and correct his mistakes.
WW has to outgross CM, in dailies and W/e. It started $50m lower but will end in the same range or even higher. That's normal. We are comparing 2.6x to 4.0x. Don't see anything bad about CM going below WW.
In 2007, before cbm explosion, an R-rated new property opened to $70m. Then had good legs to reach $210m. Such a awesome run.
Other than box office, don't see how US is similar. Did Zack had an Get Out before it? It's an opinion but I will put 300 bo run at same level as GO.
According to one report, star network (ipl broadcaster) was alone worth $30 bilion, so almost half of whole deal. And star almost has a monopoly on cricket here.
