#ED Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 The weekday numbers have been too strong imo for it to hit 40 mill this weekend. So... Thurs - 5.3M Friday - 11.6M (+120%) Saturday - 16.3 (+40%) Sunday - 11.4 (-30%) 39.3M Basically, the increases have to be bigger than mine to hit 40M this weekend.

#ED Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I think baumer's saying the strong weekday numbers may point to a weaker-than-expected Friday increase. Anything bigger than 120%+ would be GREAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Imax will mitigate any possible large increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I get what baumer's saying, and I think he has a great point, plus CP will provide hefty competition. But shit, at the same time, sometimes films defy logic, and I think Gravity has the potential to be one of those films- a very mini Avatar, if you will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Imax will mitigate any possible large increase. Yes, but a large increase might be more typically 140-160%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-captain-phillips-enjoying-647851 Sony's Captain Phillips is doing solid matinee business at the Friday box office, putting the adult drama on course to gross north of $20 million in its North American debut. But Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity remains the bigger play, and will have no trouble staying at No. 1. Friday's numbers suggest that the Warner Bros. space epic, starring Sandra Bullock andGeorge Clooney, will earn north of $35 million or more in its second weekend, pushing the film's North American total to upwards of $100 million by Sunday. After Captain Phillips, the weekend's only other new wide player is exploitation action film Machete Kills, from writer-director Robert Rodriguez. Machete Kills is expected to open in the $7 million to $8 million range. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Interesting considering some people said it would lose IMAX screens. It lost my theaters IMAX screen to Captain Philips. And, my IMAX screen is one of the original 94, one of the biggest in the nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ban1o Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Were kids out of school yesterday or something? Why did Cloudy, Planes, DM2, and other kids movies have big jumps? This might be a stretch but I know in a lot of elementary school in Canada they have the Friday off before Thanksgiving. That might be why Thursday had jumps, because they didn't have school today?
