PACIFIC RIM: $14.62M Friday (est) / $14.62M Domestic Total / 3,275 Locations / $4,464 Location Avg. #PacificRim

 

[JarJarBinks]

$1.32 m is the FRI estimate for Man of Steel.

[Sims]

Better than we were led to believe, at least. 38 could still happen.

Wait it says the domestic

Total is same as friday estimate, does this mean it

Made only 11 million on friday without midnights????????

[Ezen Baklattan]

That's a lot better than the initial estimate this morning.

[hasanahmad]

That's a lot better than the initial estimate this morning.

 

does it include the thursday because it says friday numbers and overall total are the same .

[druv10]

Looks like WC saved PR from complete embarrassment but the number is still not good. low 30's OW and it could leg it's way to 100M.

Yes.

[bballman24]

does it include the thursday because it says friday numbers and overall total are the same .

Thursday preview's are always included as Friday these days dude

[druv10]

does it include the thursday because it says friday numbers and overall total are the same .

 

Previews are always added to the OD after the CO shooting so it is part of Friday gross.  

[hasanahmad]

Yes.

 

so 3.6 midnights means it made 11 million on friday

 

 

3.6

11

13

12

 

39 is the max it will go

 

or

 

3.6

38 is the lowest it will go . regardless not good. it bombed in australia and apparently bombing everywhere but the asian markets

[Sims]

I doubt it holds that well on Sunday. 35-38 range IMO.

This summer we've had more "original" films than sequels/remakes/reboots, so far...

 

Tyler Perry Presents Peeples $4,600,000

Epic $33,500,000

Now You See Me $29,400,000

After Earth $27,500,000

The Internship $17,300,000

This Is The End $20,700,000

World War Z $66,400,000

The Heat $39,100,000

White House Down $24,900,000

The Lone Ranger $29,200,000

Pacific Rim

 

Remakes/Reboots/Sequels

 

The Great Gatsby

Despicable Me 2

Monsters University

Man of Steel

Fast and Furious 6

The Hangover Part III

Star Trek Into Darkness

Iron Man 3

Grown Ups 2

 

Not much more, but still more.

 

 

Almost all the reboots/remakes/sequels are already profitable but at least half of the original films are flat out bombs.

 

and people wonder why Hollywood prefers one over the other.

 

Reboots/remakes/sequels are based on proven formulas while original film are unproven formulas. The latter are far more risky.

[Impact]

The Lone Ranger is far from original.

Anyway I'm leaving in a few hours.

[bballman24]

People always bitch about too many sequels and reboots, myself included half of the time... Then GA really should give new properties a shot but they usually don't.

So I really can't blame studios from making these films from a business standpoint. Why risk losing money at all?

[FilmBuff]

WWZ continues to chug a long!

[JohnnyGossamer]

Purely opinion, but I don't expect a very strong multiplier overall. If it grosses under $40M, I definitely expect under $100M domestic. Lone Ranger and Pacific are going to be in a heated race to see who wins DOM.

[CJohn]

The Lone Ranger is far from original.

Anyway I'm leaving in a few hours.

It is not a sequel or a reboot.
