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

[CJohn]

Bring me World War Z, Star Trek and Monsters University numbers. Finally Pacific Rim will reach the 100M mark.

Wimpy $1.4M opening day FRI for Getaway going to awful $5M 4day holiday wknd. Weak C+ CinemaScore, dismal reviews.

Imagine, of that 400 M of PR, 200 M+ is from just TWO territories: China and N.A.

[Maxmoser3]

Well Sony will be happy since all summer long they had all flops besides this is the end and grown ups 2

[Shawn Robbins]

What were people predicting?

 

Not sure, but I'd be shocked if many (or anyone?) had it out-opening Getaway.

[Shawn Robbins]

Wasn't Nicki who came out with that number it was this web site. And it does make sense. It just means they did not include the27 from Thursday. The great thing about that Friday number is that really makes one of the spur of the moment questions really up in the air. 8.9 could give it a 24-25 mill 3 day.

 

I could be wrong, but I don't see it having that strong of a multiplier. $24-25m for the 4-day, maybe.

i said Getaway would win months ago then figured one direction would win this weekend a few weeks ago

[Shawn Robbins]

What? Am I supposed to know what is that?

 

Well, it's important for Baumer's game since it will definitely throw off some of our placements this weekend.

Yea, you are probably right.  I'm just trying to throw a scare in those players....aheeemmm...YOU....who took Butler Butler.

Hey, I've got enough scares as it is! Wolverine may not get to $128.44m and The Heat is probably going to come closer to its SOTM target than PacRim will (which I chose).

 

THIS IS STRESSFUL.

 

[narniadis]

Bland numbers so far except for 1D but even that is highly front loaded

[baumer]

Yes, this may be the first year in the game where so much rides on the last weekend.  

[baumer]

Anyone want to do some 4 day projections?

[AdamKendall]

Hmmm 1D, quite different than what I expected when I went to bed last night.

 

Instructions Not Included ... ???

 

Getaway ... DOA

 

I saw World War Z/Star Trek Into Darkness double feature last night for the price of one ... how does that work, 50/50 split, or are they just adding to WWZ to get to 200 million?

[#ED]

On my way to see instructions not included...Da fuq?Apparently it has a famous Spanish comedian and its playing at AMC Empire 25 and a few other good theaters here in the city.

Tell us your thoughts after. I saw some TV spots and it looks funny. Might check it out.
