Weekend Estimates: Thor TDW 86.1M, Ender 10.25, Free Birds 11.2, Grav 8.4, BG 11.3, Last Vegas 11.1

[cheesypoofs]

I was hoping for an opening like 120M....oh well

[Magic]

So...  Catching Fire is coming out in a couple of weeks. 

[GiantCALBears]

So maybe 80-85 if Rth holds true.

Uhhhh, $85m is pretty optimistic....

That was never realistic sorry... Not even close

Yep, that little indie that could ...

[LexJoker]

What if Saturday explodes? $90m possible?

[Keycard]

Apart from the obvious showdowns Mojo will have up for Thor's numbers (Thor 1, Iron man 2 and 3), with a 29-32 Friday what other showdowns would you recommend?(And having just accused Mojo of having obvious showdowns, their Gravity vs. WALL-E one has me a bit baffled: human vs. robot; present vs. future; adult live-action vs. cartoon... is it really because WALL-E went flying about in space on a fire extinguisher?)

[AdamKendall]

Probably ... it would have to be on that high end of 31.5 ... and has great hold on Saturday and soft drop on Sunday.  Just did some more calculations ... nope, I have a hard time justifying that high.  80-82 as Futurist said might be closer.

[John Marston]

so an opening in the highs 70s to low 80s. It is a decent opening but IMO it shows Avengers effect could possibly be waning.

I dunna, it did increase from the first.

What indication leads you to believe this is possible at this point? Demand is good but I mean come on, this may not even beat Grinch OW adjusted.

[The Futurist]

What was Thor 1 's OW ?

I think it's just a matter of Tony Stark being the draw ... the rest are just there as great supporting pieces for the ensemble, and popular singular characters, but not A++ list draws.

 

I'm slightly disappointed ... but it's still 80+ million for THOR ... and likely 80+ for Captain America.

Let's also not forget it could get a decent family bump tomorrow.

You forget a decent bump is already included. The Friday # w/ previews included is very so-so.

Thor will not take this standing down. Thor does not support the idea that he be second bananas to a cyborg that he can take down in a few hits.

[Mojoguy]

So Thor 2 will again be saved by its OS numbers again.
