Shit numbers all around. I was expecting more for 300.

[zarrra24]

so....the trackings were wrong

[Heat Vision]

The day is not over and 300 II is tracking quite well. I say 14-16 million by the end of night.

Box Office: '300: Rise of An Empire' Soars to $16 Million-Plus Friday  

The ancient Greek epic is headed for a strong $40 million-plus domestic debut; DreamWorks Animation's "Mr. Peabody and Sherman" eyes a $32 million-plus opening.

Fueled by males, Warner Bros. and Legendary's 300: Rise of an Empire is headed for a pleasing $16 million-plus Friday, putting the R-rated ancient epic on course for a first-place finish in North America with a $40 million-plus  debut.

Even 16 might not be enough to get to 40 million, if it includes the 3.3 haul from Thursday.

I figure it needs about 14m Friday, not counting previews, to hit 40m.

You all enjoy what looks to be a rollercoaster night of projections. I'm outta here.

With 16m plus, it would need something like

16.5 + 13.5(-18.2%) + 10(-28.6%) to get to 40m

 

300 was 28.1 + 24.68(-12.2%) + 18.09(-26.7%)

DoS deja vu

Yeah. If the previews are 3.3 milion, it probably needs a total of 17 to get there. 16 looks like it'd drop to about 13 on Saturday and then a bit under 10 on Sunday, to end up in the high 30s.

DoS deja vu

 

What happened with DoS?

Saw it this afternoon and really enjoyed it.

 

Eva Green was a terrific villain.

To keep up with the weekly pun, it ought to say, 'TONIGHT,  SHAWNMR DINES IN HELL' Next week will be 'ShawnMR's numbers better be right, bitch.'

Well, that's certainly a better #, but still won't hit 40 with 16.  Can't see it doing 2.5x ... probably closer to 36 or 37 (similar to Pacific Rim which had nearly the same preview #)

I seem to remember the news at the time sounded much the same for Pac Rim: It's doing amazing business! It's going to be huge! Oh, wait, nope, it's just pretty good.

 

Meanwhile, the far less hyped family film the same weekend is going to surprise everyone, I guess?

Better than earlier estimate. I fully think it's going  to keep going up and end around 19-20M for Friday.
