Weekend Estimates - The Butler 17.0 Millers 13.5 TWE 8.94

[Krissykins]

I'll go to sleep and see what kind of numbers You're Next has in the morning.

[The Futurist]

Great call Baumer on the butler success.

and yet another one:http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2013/08/22/Box-Office-Predictions-We-re-The-Millers-Set-To-Out-Gross-Elysium-and-The-Butler

 

Those are predictions, not actual box office results / early estimates.

[Fancyarcher]

You're Next will do under 30, possibly under 25, total

 

I don’t think it matters; its budget was probably 3 million.

[Cochofles]

You're Next is fantastic. Just an awesome little film with laughs, gore, and a nice little spin on the home invasion sub-genre. Man, I hope that The Purge and The Conjuring haven't yet satiated horror audiences, because You're Next  is such a gem, and deserves a large audience.

Every theater over here is pushing Mortal Instruments to smaller screens starting tomorrow and putting Jobs on the bigger screens. That thing is flying over here and Mortal is bombing. Never have seen so many theaters switching so many stuff in the middle of the weekend.

Holy crap, I laughed at my Film Theory class for overpredicting World's End at 11M... They might be right? Wow..

I wish I had a film theory class!

Yeah, in my film theory class, we do classroom predictions based off the trailers of the week's new movie. We watch the trailers, and then people in the class throw out numbers and then we vote on them. These were this week's.

 

You're Next - 17M (my pick!)

The World's End - 11M

The Mortal Instruments - 5M

So if Butler hits 15.5, that's a 35% drop.  Not insanely great like the Help, but enough to pretty much put it on pace for 100 mill.

[Dragon]

like the queen she is

[Gopher]

10:25 You're Next is dead here. Maybe 25% full. I wish this and Purge could switch BO runs.

How TMI makes only 1.75M on Thursday and could have a 11M on OW? That's just unrealistic, right?

It could have a 200% bump today.  

[Wally]

It could have a 200% bump today.  

If this movie gets a 11M OW it could cross 40M total and that would be good for the movie. And a 200% bumb would be weird.

[Blankments]

Matilda's on, and I really forgot how much I liked it as a kid...

 

Oh wait, summer's over, such blatant off-topicness is actually frowned upon.

 

WAIT DANNY DEVITO DIRECTED MATILDA???

Please, God...let You're Next do a Scream on us, please, please pretty please?

It's an awesome little film, and it deserves to be seen by at least 100 million dollars worth of ticket buyers.

Please?

Thanks,

Cocho. 

Agreed, I just got in from seeing it and my auditiorium was about 45% full. Great movie!
