Wednesday: Hangover 3 ($3.1m Wed+Thu sneaks), STID 5.3M, TGG 2.3M, IM3 2.2M

[Gopher]

Why wouldn't people be under the impression it opens today? The last one opened on a Thursday and they've been advertising the Thursday opening for over two weeks. This isn't a case like Star Trek in which they weren't clear until the week of what day it was opening on.

How about those 3 20M days!? lol...

Hangover 3 was seriously the best movie I have EVER saw. <3 #amazzzzing

 

 

Shout-out to any Kroll Show fans.

Early numbers show it may have been decapitated

The amount of editing going on in the BSG right now...

TGG hold is

Fell behind 09 Trek by $400k after having better Sunday-Tuesday, pretty weak honestly

lol, I've changed quite a few of my answers.

There will, no doubt, be a rebound today. But again... many in the general public aren't aware of the bump to today. Most are under the impression it opens tomorrow (or tonight at midnight, if you will).

 

Not expecting miracles especially with the sleeping giant about to awake. AKA Fast 6.

 

Agreed.

 

So, Hangover III is off to a good start.  And by good start I mean way off from Part II.

 

I think it will still rebound nicely.  I had a lot of the people that came last night mention they didn't like the second one, but were hoping this is better.

 

And agreed.

I guess that's a fair point. I just don't think general audiences have any clue what day TH2 opened two years ago. Only movie nerds like you and me remember that.

If the Hangover rebounds, I think it'll be tomorrow as opposed to today. Though it's optimistic to expect it to go up higher than Trek 2, IMO, because the release date change was earlier and WOM seems way more mixed.

These look like ok drops. Top five last year on the comparable Weds. dropped 19-29%

Possibly. I guess there's something to be said for spillover effect with F6 drawing out similar crowds. *shrug*

It's a perfectly normal drop for a new film on its first Wednesday - I actually expected worse hold due to hangover taking late show times

I don't think spillover effect is really a thing anymore. Hangover and Fast 6 will both be playing on huge amounts of screens this weekend.

Solid numbers - actually surprised that they didn't fall harder

[RichWS]

What's the most to expect from Hangover today including last night's take? 15M?
