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

That's not bad, though lower than the minimum that I thought it would at least do (which was 85M). It could still get there if it blows up Saturday.

 

But kinda embarrassing for those predicting >100M.

That is what you want from a sequel, to exceed the original

 

Real words of wisdom from Deadline there.

It was never realistic to expect 100m - only may/summer season could grant this kind of opening.

Amazing hold for GRAVITY. 82 M is a better number for T: TDW. Still, it's at the lower end of expectations.

Talks like studios spinning ...

THG, AIW, Potter, Twlight says hi.

Don't know why deadline is predicting a crazy saturday jump for Gravity, from 2.3 fri to 4.

[lab276]

If their estimates hold, overall weekend will be about equal to last year.

Well, yeah, but a cursory glance at the weekend predictions thread shows that there were quite a few people who had this doing at least high 90s to low 100s. Granted a handful of those are Marvel fans but still.  The more sensible ones predicted high 80s - low 90s.

I doubt somebody in dis/mar expected something huge from this. I am interested thought...what kind of grosses will other MCU-RDJ-less movies have next year.

Is that Matthew McConaughey in your avatar?, what the hell has happened to him?

Jump last week was 71%, that jump would be 74%.

Interesting weekend despite Thor.

I think Cap2 will do similar numbers to TDW domestically, if not better.

 

Depending on how good it is, GotG can break out the way Iron Man did in 2008, which will then pave the way for Marvel's next slew of solo franchises the way IM did for Thor and Cap.

He lost weight for a role.

Not expecting huge numbers from ant-man because many people are "what is ant-man? why ant-man?" GotG has probably one of the biggest and interesting cast out there. If they play their cards it can hold its own. It's different than what they offered in the previous years. Plus many people who saw the footage said Rocket Raccoon might be a star

Ah right, i was worried he was ill or somehting.
