mcclaine Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) This could land anywhere between 35M to 50M, comparing it with others 3D action films with those midnight numbers, so i don't know.Still, very good.

Donald Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 I really do hope it ends up on the higher end....more like 50mill.....that would really be cool audience retention! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarJarBinks Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Would be at $39 m/$40 m if it pulled a Watchmen from here on out (that was at $4.6 m). Prob. not quite as front-loaded in nature as Watchmen, but opening at 8 p.m. instead of midnight could make up the difference and then some in the comparison.

alisson23 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) only more 52M for my prediction be real, 55M OW!! Edited March 7, 2014 by alisson23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) That is a surprisingly good number for a sequel no one asked for, and was then delayed from August to March for what I hear was a pretty good 3D conversion. May end up anywhere between 35-50M. Will have to wait for Friday numbers. Comparable numbers: PACRIM 3.6 / 37.3; WWZ 3.6 / 66.4; PROMETHEUS 3.6 / 51.1 - so they are all over the place. Will probably end up higher than Pacific Rim. Edited March 7, 2014 by grim22 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Source? When posting a Number, please post a link. Thanks. http://www.deadline.com/2014/03/box-office-300-rise-of-an-empire-wields-powerful-3-3m-late-night-thursday-for-warner-bros-mr-peabody-and-sherman-is-yet-another-animated-film-playing-in-first-quarter-2014/ BREAKING: Late night showings of the second of the ’300‘ films has grossed an estimated $3.3M for Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, putting the epic actioner on track for a $40M to $45M weekend. The 3-D actioner 300 Rise Of An Empire, which is based on the graphic novel Xerxes from Frank Miller, bowed powerfully on 3,470 screens last night — 3,100 of them were 3D. Thursday night plays started at 8 p.m. and continued through midnight and that $3.3M take is great for this time of year to boot. The bloody epic from screenwriter Zach Snyder and Kurt Johnstad stars Sullivan Stapleton and Eva Green in a story about a general who is trying to unify Greece and must first battle an invasion from Persia, led by a vengeful mortal-turned-god named Xerxes. The first 300 opened on the same weekend in 2007 to $70.8M and went on to gross $210.6M domestically (worldwide was $456M). The distribution team at Warner Bros., led by Dan Fellman, is top notch and truly know how to book and play out their movies, allowing them a little time to breathe in a marketplace that is so dang competitive now.

baumer Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Non Stop opened to close to 30 mill. This looks like there is tons of interest. 30 mill is a foregone conclusion. 45 looks like it might be the floor now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
