SOOOO...

 

Star Trek Into Darkness may indeed beat The Hangover Part III this weekend??

[Captain Craig]

I hope so!!

[kayumanggi]

No number for TGG?

Maybe 2.3 M...upset of the century.

[The Dark Alfred]

That's not gonna happen. THIII might be awful, but it's gonna have a healthy Friday jump.

[Lordmandeep]

With 100 million 4 day I imagine it will end up over fast five?It has summer weekdays this time unlike fast five.

Epic has a shot at beating it, let alone Star Trek.

[Sam]

Not yet, cause IM3 outgrossed it. Here's hoping Tony and friends can muster a Friday increase bigger than Avengers' last year given the competition.

About 130%+ would be nice. The biggest competition will be Epic I think, since IM3 is acting like a family film.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Good for Fast 6. I'm expecting low 40s today.

Hope you're right. Then again, I started getting greedy and hoped for a $10M increase on Fast Five's $34.4M OD. Hey, it could happen... More likely to gross just over/under $40M though.

[Ezen Baklattan]

So Fast & Furious 6's 4-day weekend would be greater than The Hangover's domestic total.....

 

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[CJohn]

Fast must rape Hangover today. That is an hilarious OD for Hangover.

[Shawn Robbins]

That's not gonna happen. THIII might be awful, but it's gonna have a healthy Friday jump.

 

This does seem like the more likely scenario right now. It probably won't get near what it was "supposed" to still, but, the Thursday drop-off is too drastic to not be a little suspect.

[Jandrew]

What locks F6 for a $100M 3-day? 40M OW? 45?

[Cmasterclay]

God, as a lover of both box office and someone with OCD, how I wish FF6 had hit 7 million. Still an excellent number, though

[Jandrew]

It should be a given at this point, the competition is crashing, no heavy comp for 3 weeks, and WOM is already stellar.

$40m Friday (including Thursday previews) could get it there, but $45m would be "lock" territory.

I know plenty of folks aged 25+ planning to catch THIII today, tomorrow and/or over the weekend. I expect nice bumps. Nothing substantial. But, I bet it grosses $70M+ over the 5-day.

[Lordmandeep]

Remember it is memorial day weekend so a huge Sunday will happen

[Ezen Baklattan]

It will go up today, but not to a great extent. The Hangover II didn't have to deal with new openers on that Friday, let alone Fast & Furious 6, and audiences are less forgiving for this than they were for Part 2. 

 

I'm guessing $12.5m-$13m for today and $35m-$37m for the 3-day weekend. 

[kayumanggi]

I want STID and EPIC projections.

Very true. The one counter-point there may be that TH2 was a "must see" movie. TH3 isn't, so the potential for back-loading closer to the holiday itself is higher. Will be interesting to watch.
