Source tells me #Insidious2 soaring to #1 w/ about $15M opening day on Friday the 13th. Wknd may reach low 30s.

 

IN ... first for the first time.

 

Excellent # for the film if holds.

No surprise here.

I thought it said "May reach lows 20s" I was thinking right then "Come on it wont be THAT frontloaded"

The bigger the Friday, the bigger the Saturday drop I imagine.

Yep-now how frontloaded will part 3 be?

Going off of the PA sequels and the Saw sequels, this was will probably barley have a 2 multiplier.

Depends on how well liked it is. 

 

Most of the recent horror films are considered to be terrible, hence why they drop a lot from Friday to Saturday and why the Conjuring didn't.

Conjuring is a bit different-it was not during the typical horror season, it was in the Summer.

From reading the reviews it doesn't seem that it'll be well-liked.

Guessing a 40% drop-9M Saturday.

The Purge was released during the summer (though it wasn't really a horror film, just marketed as one).

Damn, with that it will barely scrape 30 million (if 15 holds)

 

Having said that, as I mentioned in Thursday #s ... felt 25-30 was good # and more likely.  40+ seemed kind of nuts for September.

I keep on forgetting about that film

Well it wont have a great IM, but I was thinking of a drop that is similar to other films like this.

That's a prediction, not the actual result you know.

Probably better then what Nikki would of said.She probably have "Insidious 2 is doing amazing with a 25M-35M Friday!"

(Though in some cases she is too low, but that tends to be with kids films IE when the kids are in school, or with older audience films when they are at work)

Good god, can we have a moratorium on these sorts of comments? We ALL know that, brother, but when review after review says it's not scary, there's a good chance a lot of other people are going to feel the same way.

It's a prediction/guesstimate based on #s coming in throughout the day ...

 

I'm not a complete moron.
