Weekend Estimates: Riddick - 18.6M | The Butler - 8.9M | We're the Millers - 7.9M

[The Futurist]

Since the international rights were already sold, Constantin have already made their money, it'll be Sony and the local distributors who will have lost on MI's poor performance.

 

And ?

 

You don't know for how much these rights were sold.

Mortal Instruments is not an established property/brand so I doubt Constatin made that many bucks with those foreign distribution rights.

go Vinnie!

LEE DANIELS' THE BUTLER: $2.37M Friday (est) / $85.37M Domestic Total / 3,330 Locations / $711 Location Avg. #TheButler

 

 

That's about an 8 mill weekend.

Vin Diesel’s ‘Riddick’ Opens To $7.3M Friday And Mediocre $18M Weekend http://dlvr.it/3wgSP0  via @Deadline

[baumer]

That's about a 6.4 mill OD.  If it's frontloaded, the it will probably do less than 18.

 

7.3

6.8

3.8

 

17.9...but if it drops a bit more today....

INSTRUCTIONS NOT INCLUDED: $1.64M Friday (est) / $13.85M Domestic Total / 717 Locations / $2,287 Location Avg.

 

It's going to have a very small drop.

[baumer]

If INI has a typical Saturday bump and a typical first football Sunday drop, that'll give it:

 

1.65

2.25

1.3

 

5.2 weekend or a 33% drop.

Drat.

[lab276]

Just to point out, the top three last year made 6.3m. A huge improvement year on year.

[CJohn]

There was nothing big opening last year, just The Words and The Cold Light of Day.

[baumer]

Riddick is a franchise that really doesn't have much traction here.  I wouldn't be surprised to see this fall 60-65% next weekend.  If it opens to 18, it will probably end with 40.

[lab276]

Just sayin'. We should be happy the first weekend of September isn't a wasteland. Overall there should be an improvement on last year, there's even the potential to break the record.

78% drop for One Direction?

[Sam]

Does INI get expanded this weekend?

[Jack Nevada]

Seeing Blue Jasmine again tomorrow cause I'm not sure what to think yet. 

[iceroll]

Damn One Direction is just breaking all sorts of shitty records now.

[Cmasterclay]

INI is a very pleasant breakout surprise, or more appropriate, breakout shock.

[forg]

Still decent for what is normally  a dead weekend.

 

Planes is doing really good after a so-so OW it could wind up with 90 million in the end.
