Weekend Estimates - The Butler 17.0 Millers 13.5 TWE 8.94

[Impact]

What about the YA adaptations and the dramas?

Dramas can be around 75%-82% sometimes-check my posts in the weekend thread. (Also openers of course will be more frontloaded unless if it is a family film)

[Blankments]

The World's End was genius; happy to see it's doing well.

What a horrible weekend for openers.Millers and Butler obviously did very well.Youre Next will prob finish with about 20 mill. Too bad.

[baumer]

43% jump for Butler. Very nice.

[CJohn]

You're Next

[K1stpierre]

Do we know what the budget is for You're Next? At least RT seems to like it so far, 80% is great.

[Sims]

You're Next had a shoestring budget, it will be just fine.

My guess is Youre Next was made for under a mill and was acquired for 3 mill. No idea about marketing but does 10 mill sound reasonable? Doubt it breaks even overall at theaters but it will be a small loss or a small gain. I think itll find an audience at home.

Its pretty crazy to think Annie that Annie Hall was a The Heat sized hit in 1977. Woodys been around longer than most. Pretty cool to see hin chugging away still.

[The Stingray]

baumer, is your avatar from when Jason kills the dude doing the handstand?

[baumer]

Good eye Stingray!

[baumer]

How did The Butler do 17 from a 4.7 Friday? That has to be a mistake.

[baumer]

Butler: 4.78, 6.9, 5.2

[Hiccup]

Butler: 4.78, 6.9, 5.2

 

So it is 16.88 million weekend.
