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

[forg]

I's not surprising how frontloaded One Direction movie is. They could debut a song in the top 3 of the Billboard Hot 100 but the next week it crashes to 20s.

A lot of single digit drops, more than normal.

Whoa.

Next week I think Ultimate Life has a chance of being in the top 10....

[lab276]

Record August gross, bit out of nowhere to be honest:

 

Year	Total Gross	Change	Movies	Avg.	#1 Movie	Gross	% of Total
2013	$928.6	+14.9%	209	$4.4	We're the Millers	$104.6	11.3%
2007	$920.5	+20.9%	215	$4.3	The Bourne Ultimatum	$192.0	20.9%
2009	$905.3	+2.1%	201	$4.5	G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra	$132.7	14.7%

 

[Impact]

Who would of thought this month would be on top? And the fact that the only 100M grosser barley made it in is pretty interesting. That is what happens when you have tons of new releases though.

[filmscholar]

Wow, Those Bulter Legs are proving it will be in the Oscar Race. 

[The Stingray]

12 Years a Slave will snatch The Butler's thunder come Oscar season.

Whoa.

 

I was stunned when it did 1.9 according to the Friday #s ... a nearly 4 weekend multiplier off that makes it even crazier.

 

That per theater average.

 

I see me attending the double feature helped WWZ cross 200 million.  Good ... I enjoyed it, much more than I would have imagined based on the initial buzz of the film over the last year or so.

 

... and good for Pacific Rim hitting 100 million ... should have done more, but whatever.

[Jake Gittes]

If you take away E.T. and Jurassic Park's re-release grosses, Despicable Me 2 is actually set to be Universal's highest grossing film ever once it passes $359.2m.
