Weekend Estimates: One Direction-17M, Butler-14.74M, WTM-12.61M

[stripe]

How can a movie with 2.7 m midnight do less than 20m. Does not make sense for me. What are they expecting? 6 - 5- 4.5 - 2.5?

[baumer]

Yea agreed. With 2.7 earlies that means its actual Friday would be about 4.0. I think Nikkis drunk again.

How does that 1D number compare to similar pop music docs? (Can't be bothered to look them up.)

 

RT scores of recent pop concert docs:

 

One Direction: This Is Us — 70% (currently)

Katy Perry: Part of Me — 77%

Glee: The 3D Concert Movie — 60%

Justin Bieber: Never Say Never — 64%

Michael Jackson's This Is It — 81%

Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience — 25%

Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour — 72%

That is not from Nikki, it is from our own boxoffice.com

Damn! Is Shawn drunk? Lol

I have nothing against boxoffice but this is really weirld. Report so early supposed weekend numbers and say nothing about friday gross. No wonder those early projections can be off sometimes by 25-30% or even more.

I dont understand the discrimination. Nikki should at least give us an update by now.

I'm surprised 1D did so well on RT. But, I suppose with the amount of crap that's come out in the past 4 weeks, the critics were willing to grab onto anything semi-decent.

You're Next, world's end, spectacular now WTM I think August has been pretty good quality wise.

I dont understand the discrimination. Nikki should at least give us an update by now.

There's been new rumous that she's leaving Deadline and founding nikkifinke.com so she's probably out there somewhere plotting her career movement and couldn't give a shit about the boxoffice. Besides, most of HW is more interested in what's going on in Telluride/Toronto/venice there probably isn't much demand for early weekend numbers.

We'll get update soon enough so at this point, I'll wait for studio estimates.

WTM crossed 100 M!

[Jake Gittes]

If The Butler follows The Help, it's gonna make over $14m for the 3-day weekend

If WTM follows Tropic Thunder, it'll make around $12m (a sub-10% drop!) for the 3-day.
