Wednesday Numbers | Despicable Me 2 - 34M | The Lone Ranger - 9.67M | Kevin Hart - 4.9M

Title that 35/15M !

[John Marston]

I don't see how that is a bad number for LR. Sure compared to the budget but it was never going to make that much anyway. Compared to the negative buzz it seems good

[Jandrew]

I know South Carolina doesn't represent all of America, but guys, based on what I'm seeing, I think that $35M number is gonna go up. Like Mattrek said, I've never seen this many matinee sellouts before, not in my state, and if the matiness are doing this, the evenings can do it too. Plus its raining and overcast so its not like people are gonna go do stuff outdoors. This is remarkable. KH will be a beast here too, my friend thats over has already seen it.

Let me get this straight-first it says TLR at a better then expected 12M, now a "disappointing" 15M? I'm lost

And 12M translated to 65M 5 day but now a 15M to a less then 60M 5 day? Okay...

 

Ehh who cares too early for both

$15M would be a pretty good number for Lone Ranger, it would mean a 5-day of about 65-75M.

Slight update/correction:

 

WEDNESDAY 12:30 PM, 3RD UPDATE: There’s no question that Illumination Entertainment’s and Universal’s Despicable Me 2 (3,957 theaters) will gross over $100 million domestic for the five-day July 4th holiday. Right now, based on matinee trends, the toon should open to $35M which is “an incredible start” according to a Uni exec. By contrast, Disney’s expensive The Lone Ranger (3,904 theaters) is underperforming with $15M today: that means the Jerry Bruckheimer actioner may not even pass $60M for its first 5 days. That’s below even Disney’s low-ball projection. And Kevin Hart’s Let Me Explain from Lionsgate’s Summit Entertainment is looking to gross an impressive $6M from only 876 dates today. More later.

$15M would be a pretty good number for Lone Ranger, it would mean a 5-day of about 65-75M.

Yeah I agree-I don't know how it turned from a better then expected 12M to a disappointing 15M

Guessing...

 

TLR Wed: $13.0m

DM2 Wed: $37.5m

[Alpha]

DM2 number is great, TLR number is good, but Kevin Hart's number is wild. $6M from only 876 locations? On a Wednesday?

[Empire]

Here are my guesses for today:

 

TLR: 13.5

DM2: 36.0

Kevin Hart: 6.5

DM2 Opening Day > TASM?

 

[CJohn]

Can someone explain me what is a Kevin Hart?

[tommycruise]

Terrific for DM2 it looks like a massive 5 day(140M+) is in play and if it holds well(why wouldn't it?) then it will definitely take second place for the summer

[samsha22]

i think minion haters will now stop comparing DM2 with MU..DM2 is in a different league altogether..a league of toy storys and Shreks

[Alpha]

If TLR is on pace for 15 mill then i bet it goes up. Might be a bigger lare show crowd. Im not sure how thats disapoiinting. Did anyone think or hope it would do 20 today?

[Impact]

So:Kevin Hart-does good in the South, Lone Ranger-does good in the Southwest

DM2-good everywhere

[CJohn]

I don't live in America. He is not known here in Europe

Yeah it is confusing-first it said 12.5M now 15M.
