Weekend #s | SAT (12.28.2013) 10.5 M TH: TDOS | 09.7 M - 10.0 M FROZEN | 07.4 M AM ll | 07.2 M AH

[a2k]

so no 30m for Frozen =(

Even DoS would have to show only a 10% drop on Sunday to touch 30m if these numbers hold.

10.1 + 10.5 + 9.45(-10%)  = 30.05

I care more about what Frozen does then DoS lol

[The Panda]

So Frozen actually decreased. That's if Nikki's estimates hold up.

 

This is Nikki you're talking about.

[ecstasy]

This is Nikki you're talking about.

 

Yeah but these aren't early numbers. It's pretty late so they should be close to the real thing.

Surprised that Wolf couldn't crack top 3 in it's OW and Mitty couldn't crack top 5. Talk about Saving Mr. Mitty.

DoS: 29.5m

Frozen: 28.4m

Disappointing results after such a strong Thursday.

True, but she was about 300k low on both Frozen and Smaug for Friday so I'm hoping she's a bit low again, at least for Frozen.

[kayumanggi]

Ooops. Sorry.

Let's hope they go up from estimates.

[Spidey Freak]

Frozen Saturday decrease?  Noooo, this cannot be happening!!!

Possible. A few hundred thousand plus or minus isn't really that big of a deal to me.

Hollywood has nicknamed Justin Bieber's box office bomb his 'retirement movie', down -14% Sat from Fri for weak $1.9M weekend.

Deadline numbers are up, 10.5m Hobbit, 9.7-9.9 Frozen. Other numbers up all pretty much same as Finkes.

I noticed Deadline didn't change any of the numbers in their "projections" for the weekend. What a mess.

Also good numbers for Frozen and DoS. I was probably one of the few expecting only a small increase or slight drop so I'm not really surprised. Both are headed for $28-29 million weekends which is good for DoS and still fantastic for Frozen.

UPDATE: SATURDAY, 11:45 PM: The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug looks to takeboth the 5-Day and the weekend as preliminary numbers have come in. Will be another update in the AM, but quickly, estimates show a$10.5M night (+4% from Friday) for the Warner Bros./MGM sequel. Frozen, (- 2%), is expected to take $9.7M to $9.9M for Disney in what has been an extraordinary holiday run for the animated family film. Paramount’sAnchorman 2: The Legend Continues strong with an estimated$7M to $7.2M (-1%) while American Hustle had a solid night with an estimated gross of $7M to $7.2M(+10% to 13%) for Sony and Annapurna (the production co, also behind the extraordinary WBros.’ film, Her). In the fifth spot is the shoulda-been-an-NC-17 excess mess The Wolf of Wall Street with around $6.8M (+8%) for Paramount.

 

The Bottom Five (estimates): Disney’s Saving Mr. Banks, $5M (+6%); Fox’sThe Secret Life of Walter Mitty, $4.6M to $4.8M (+3%); Hunger Games: Catching Fire, $3.5M for Lionsgate; In ninth, Universal’s 47 Ronin, $3.6M and rounding out the top ten is Tyler Perry’s A Madea Christmas, $2.7M for Lionsgate. Noteworthy: Warner Bros.’ Grudge Match,  $2.7M (+14% … one of – if not the – highest percentage increases from Friday to Saturday of the top 12).  More to come in the early AM.

They've been doing that forever. Nikki would post numbers like (hypothetical situation) $26 million for a movie on Friday afternoon, and over the next 24 hours it could go down to like $22 million, but she would keep the same weekend prediction based on the original number and it would just be horribly off. The bad thing just about the entire top 10 (or however many she usual reported) would all be like that.

How dare they criticize Marty's latest masterpiece.

 

Good #s, but slightly disappointing that both will likely miss 30.
