PK - $127,860 OW (including previews)/$868,652 total (6.79 multiplier) 3 Idiots - $73,554 OW/$3,019,322 (41.05 multiplier) I'm shocked that PK did not pass 1m. I think with a better distributor or even with more theaters from UA this would have passed 1m. Regardless of that arbitrary number, both are considered to be huge successes here.

Cinetel is way too low on MJ2. It had 3D prices that allowed it to beat MJ1's OD despite subpar admissions. It's not very reliable as a source.

It is up 10-22% over Part 1's OD. 2D will receive a big push this weekend with many theaters swapping 3D for 2D or giving 2D more showtimes. You know 3D is not doing well when a leading 3D theater swaps out 3D entirely for 2D on the weekend! Spectre should have no trouble passing Skyfall or 5m in 2-3 weeks time. Return of the Cuckoo has had a decent run so far and will pass 1m by this weekend. She Remembers, He Forgets is also on the train toward 1m this weekend. Our Times has a had pretty good run so far and will finish in the 5.5-5.6m range.

Admissions are slow due to the change to 3D with this movie. It'll be interesting to see how audiences react to this development. The franchise has never been strong on OW with Catching Fire delivering the biggest OW in the franchise with 1.38m. Perhaps this could be the one to push past 1.5m.

That Thursday actual must have been way off base. Weird because that actual came from Sony themselves. Either that or Spectre was really inflated on Thursday. Anyway, it beat its predecessor by almost $400,000 on OW. The rest of the top 5 were pretty close to estimates. Our Times is doing well still. 5m will happen by this weekend. Scouts Guide is inching along to 1m. It will happen by next week. This might be the most random hit of the year. Zombie films and even horror films in general do not do well here. Even quasi horror films don't do all that well. In all of Scouts international territories that are playing this now, HK is outpacing Russia (WTF?) and opened higher than Australia. Decent opening for She Remembers. Thursday estimates 1. Spectre - $141,932 (-67.9%/$2,967,670 2. Return of the Cuckoo - $116,126/$116,126 3. Our Times - $49,031 (-33.3%)/$4,903,107 4.

We'll need actuals to see if it is victorious over MI5 but it is current up 42% from Skyfall's actual. Our Times had a solid hold despite mammoth competition. Word of mouth has carried it so far and it will surpass 5m next week. Not a bad weekend for She Remembers but nothing particularly memorable about it either. Great hold for Scouts Guide. Bridge of Spies was knocked down for obvious reasons. It did pass 1m this weekend though. Spectre outlook: 5m is a lock and 6m should happen even with average word of mouth here. If it can achieve Skyfall's multiplier, then it will bank 7.25m.

This time, HK will show the film in 3D which will most likely be a huge blessing for the series. It will take down the OW in the franchise for sure. That much is certain.

Hopefully, this issue will be resolved soon.

Thursday estimate Spectre opening day - $410,857 +19.4% Skyfall's OD This number guarantees a 2m opening and a OW above Skyfall's. It is tracking slightly behind MI5's OW and is on pace for 2.4-2.5m this weekend.

It obviously won't come close to You Are the Apple of My Eye but 5m will most likely happen. Bridge of Spies is doing well. HK had the best 2nd weekend hold of its current top 10 leaders last weekend. OK hold for Goosebumps. Poor for The Last Witch Hunter. Intern and Martian are both fading but both have amassed strong totals to date. HK is a top ten market with The Intern coming in at #9 ahead of France, Italy and Brazil and within 1m of UK, Russia and Germany. HK slides in at #11 with The Martian out of nearly 60 territories so it is pulling its worth here. Are You Here and Black Mass were both rejected and Mr. Holmes held nicely.

First is the surcharge that has been added on in 3 years time and the longer running time. For Spectre, it is more expensive for a ticket than Skyfall's and the extra 5 minutes on Spectre decreases the number of showtimes from 6 to 5 without falling into unfavorable times (like before 9 AM) and less people will be willing to watch a longer movie on a weekday. With regard to OWs, Spectre will no doubt blow past Skyfall's 1.9m OW and secure 2m. 2.5m is very much possible as well. It could even defeat Mission Impossible 5's OW if its weekend showings sell out. Our Times seemed to hold up OK. Scouts Guide looks like it had a good hold. Not a good opening for She Remembers, He Forgets. Bridge of Spies was held back by Spectre. In my opinion, it should have gotten rid of the word 'Spies' in the title. Bad for Are You Here. #7-#11 are separated by less than 50 admissions. Friday adm.

It is slightly below Mission Impossible 5's opening day pre-sales and off 20% from Skyfall's opening day pre-sales. The running time is 5 minutes longer than Skyfall's which plays a big role when it comes to scheduling and of course pre-selling. Friday will be stronger than Skyfall's opening Friday. Our Times is doing well but those that were expecting round 2 of You Are the Apple of My Eye will be disappointed. You Are the Apple of My Eye's run was a once in a lifetime performance that will be extremely hard to replicate. Regardless, things are not looking up for Our Times this weekend as Spectre will take away screens from it on Saturday/Sunday. Edit: What is wrong with my tables?!?!

A tropical storm is threatening HK this weekend. Admissions may be suppressed or inflated depending on the timing, proximity to HK and strength of the storm.

Weekend holds will be bigger to accommodate Martian/Intern/Hotel Transylvania 2 business + special screenings of The Walk/Our Times/Sicario/Southpaw, etc. Dark Places did not do great on Friday. Transporter Refueled had the best decline on Friday of the top 10 but it started at such a low level on Thursday that even being flat would not turn around what will happen to it next week.

Very good for The Intern. I anticipated more in pre-sales for Hotel Transylvania 2. Maybe it'll double its Saturday pre-sales on Sunday. Bad for Everest. Strong sneak previews for Our Times. Could this pull another Apple of My Eye on October 15? It has increased in admissions every weekend since previews began. Great for PK. Office is turning into a disaster. Not good for Dark Places. The Walk is taking things very slowly. It looks like there is not much interest. Transporter Refueled was the only film to increase from Thursday's pre-sales. Still a flop though. By the way, 10 different films are having sneak peeks this weekend. Ridiculous.

The Martian made $779,918 in HK/Macau on opening day and was the 9th biggest opening day of all time in Hong Kong.

Not bad for Hotel Transylvania 2. It will at least double Hotel Transylvania's OW but reviews are not great at the moment with only a 3.7/5 to show for on opening day. OK for Everest. At least it increased but Office/Maze Runner 2 and Attack on Titan 2 did terribly. Attack on Titan 2 did so bad that 4 Broadway/AMC theaters are dropping this on Friday after Thursday's letdown.
