I am seeing around 15% 

 

but I imagine the film will likely hold well over the weekend as Fast Five has expanded the appeal of these films as such they are not that frontloaded anymore... Fast 4 and Fast 5 legs were quite different. 

But F5 had already expanded the audience a lot on its opening weekend alone compared to FF4's. And yet it still had roughly the same multi as FF4. So why would this have  a significantly higher one?

I thought we weren't allowed gifs in sigs.....

As long as it's within the 400x150 limit, gif away :)And good numbers all around (well except H3) if 35ish for FF6 and 10.5-11.5 for ST hold. Edited May 25, 2013 by FTF

If they had the same multi, F5 would've made 188m. It did something quite remarkable, opened bigger than its predecessor and had a better multi. 11% better.

Just left my FF6 showing, and let me just tell you guys really quick before I get in my car, everyone cheered and clapped at the end. That is all. Tell you guys more in a little bit.

I don't think the previous FFs are a great comparison for an internal multiplier since the end of April plays out a lot differently than the end of May.

Rth said if it was same release pattern as F5 than it would be looking at 40M but with MD weekend, more spread out grosses are likely so his 33-36M projection.

I'm aware. I said it didn't have a much higher multi. 2.2 to 2.4x is not a massive difference. Last I checked, 2.4x multis are still very frontloaded movies. So please tell me how F6 will not continue to be a frontloaded movie? It could have a 2.6x multi, and it's still a pretty frontloaded movie. That's just the nature of the series. Not sure why you and Lordman are so intent on arguing with me on this subject?

It's a pretty big difference when the movie in question opens 20% bigger.

I agree, F5 was a very impressive feat. So much so that what makes you think F6 would be able to replicate it? I think if it has the same multi as F5 with a 5m or so bigger OW then that would be quite an achievement already. No one should be expecting anything more.

Any updates in total for Friday?

[Gopher]

If RTH is correct, we're looking at ~80m in Friday box office from only six movies. That's crazy. Now imagine if Hangover was actually doing well..

I imagine it wouldn't be too different, just other movies making less.

Saw Gatsby tonight, I was pleasantly surprised.  Five FF6 shows were sold out by 1030 when I got there.  Gatsby, StiD, and TH3 all had two sold out shows, IM3 had one.
