I still think an $80M opening is likely. Nothing I've seen suggests otherwise. I still believe in ~$10.5M previews. And fwiw only one theater in my area got EA screenings, so I only expect WOM boost from that area. Will post my first Kung Fu Panda 4 update tonight.

Dune: Part Two Thursday Previews T-4 Tickets Sold: 248(+7) Growth: 3% % PLF: 39% 5 theaters/29 showtimes Comps: (1.580x) of Aquaman 2 - $7.07 Million (1.722x) of Madame Web - $10.42 Million (7.090x) of Argylle - $12.05 Million COMPS AVG - $9.85 Million Really meh growth today. I think the $90M dream is dead. And if this pace continues, then $85M might be off the table too.

I'm sure that WB is happy that Aquaman posted the best numbers for a DCEU movie in half a decade, but of course they're not going to announce to their investors that they're happy with their movie flopping. That's ridiculous lol.

I'm not predicting Dune 2's run to follow FNAF's, I was only responding to the statement that fan driven movies can't open to $80M by saying it was untrue as we literally just saw FNAF do exactly that.

I hate to be that guy, but FNAF.

$10.5M with a 7.5x IM and $2M from EA is all that it needs to hit $80M, which I think is definitely plausible.

Dune: Part Two Thursday Previews T-5 Tickets Sold: 241 (+66) Growth: 37% % PLF: 37% 5 theaters/29 showtimes Comps: (1.488x) of Aquaman 2 - $6.70 Million (1.868x) of Madame Web - $11.30 Million (8.607x) of Argylle - $14.63 Million COMPS AVG - $10.88 Million Really solid growth. I'm feeling confident in $10.5M at this point, which all but locks it for $80M including EA.

$10.5M previews (without EA) with a 7.5x IM is what I'm expecting.

I think Jurassic World gets delayed tbh.

Dune: Part Two Thursday Previews T-7 Tickets Sold: 175 (+12) Growth: 7% % PLF: 47% 5 theaters/29 showtimes Comps: (1.159x) of Aquaman 2 - $5.22 Million (1.804x) of Madame Web - $10.91 Million (8.333x) of Argylle - $14.17 Million COMPS AVG - $10.10 Million

$10.5M previews coupled with a 7.5x IM and roughly $2M from EA gets it past $80M.

She is likely filling in for actors who couldn't make the table read, seeing as her nameplate reads "Reader 1"

My personal favorite Villeneuve movie is Prisoners

Dune: Part Two Thursday Previews T-8 Tickets Sold: 163 Growth: 11% % PLF: 48% 5 theaters/29 showtimes Comps: (1.116x) of Aquaman 2 - $5.02 Million (1.734x) of Madame Web - $10.49 Million (7.762x) of Argylle - $13.20 Million COMPS AVG - $9.57 Million Solid growth due to reviews, but a bit less than what I was hoping for. Side note: the more movies I track, the more I realize how much Aquaman 2 over indexed in my area LOL. It seems like $10M previews is the target here, I'm hoping it hits $12M, though it's gonna take a hit to reach that point.

Nice!

As an Ohioan, I agree.

Quorum confuses me. How does Ghostbusters have a higher chance at $70M than Dune 2 despite having less awareness?

What are Aquaman 2 and Wonka's total hauls in Brazil?

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has become the 2nd highest grossing CBM of 2023 overseas, beating out Across the Spider-Verse.

I really can't see it going as low as $65M. My cautious prediction is $75-80M.

Is Bob Marley actually holding well? I was pretty confident that this would collapse immediately. This will likely remain the highest grossing movie domestically until Dune 2 releases.

I think $80M is locked for Dune 2. Not sure if it's possible that it climbs to $100M at this point but I'm definitely rooting for it.

Where is Aquaman 2's OS gross?

I doubt his audition sucked considering he got a call from Gunn an hour after he submitted it saying he loved it.
