Off to see some early bird Captain Phillips. T.hanks, movie gods for this glut of great films.

$8.5m is official Phillips Friday #, FYI.

Where did you get that from?

He works for BO.com.

This is really awesome run for Gravity, now it has the chance to top the smash hit TBS and be Bullocks highest grosser yet, I think she still has more bullets to fire at us. 

 

And amazing OD for CP too, on it's way to top The Departed, I hope. A cinemascore means we are in for amazing drops in the next 5-10 weeks.

I forgot he was. 

[GiantCALBears]

WOW WOW WOW, what a hold! Performing Avatar (like) at IMAX! Keep those 3D surcharges coming. This could be the most impressive couple weekends of all year. Think about it, has to be.

[Lumos]

Ok, this is totally giving off an avatar vibe. I was very confident with 300m before....I'm now completly comfortable callig it a lock. 350 is the new target.

I hope the Counselor can survive.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves but still great start through 8 days... Saying $300 is locked is def premature

[PatrickvD]

Yeah $300 million is not locked yet.

 

Let's wait until after this weekend at least before we start calling it a lock.

simmer down. Let's see what the 3rd and 4th weekends do. 

[Blankments]

Awesome numbers. I agree, this is much more exciting than summer.

 

Finally getting around to watching Prisoners tonight, and hoping to catch Captain Phillips and Gravity again by the end of the month.

[ecstasy]

Great weekend! I guess I'm in for two movies this weekend. Though I'm leery about Captain Phillips but I'm intrigued.

[druv10]

Yeah $300 million is not locked yet.

It's going to have great next couple of weeks. It's the OW of Thor and CF that will determine if 300M+ is possible. 

[tawasal]

What movie is it's next IMAX and 3D competitor in bigger scale than CP? 

[filmnerdjamie]

$300M ain't locked. But it ain't crazy talk anymore either.

 

It could be WB's highest grosser domestically this year. How. CRAZY!

[lab276]

Really hoping overall business is > 130m. Any chance of that?

[Lumos]

In what world does this fail to hit $300m? It's going to have a $45m+ 2nd wkend and a <20% drop. Unless it suddenly starts dropping much harsher in the next few weeks, this should easily top 300m.

How long does Gravity keep these Imax screens? As long as there are no 3D movies and Imax movies for a while, then Sky's the limit.
