#MrPeabody & Sherman on track for about $8-9M today. Opening wknd may reach $30M or a bit more.

[The Panda]

the teenager or the mantis, at least one of them has to be depp in makeup.

 

EDIT: Just googled, it's based on book  - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18079719-grasshopper-jungle

 

It actually has really good reviews, I might actually read the book if I have time, the concept is just to amazing.

[MovieMan89]

Better than I expected honestly for 300, though if it's on the lower end of that range it will still probably miss 30m.

 

Relatively tame OW for Peabody. Unsurprising considering the massive amounts of business Frozen and LEGO have taken form the family audience recently. Looks like my 120m DOM prediction will be fairly accurate.

We had an earthquake here in central OK tonight as well - and we have been having them nearly every day in one form or another for the last 6 months, about to drive us Okies insane.....

$30m for Peabody isnt great, DWA should be worried that another film has underperformed and likely won't get a sequel.

[iceroll]

DWA really needs to work on making films look appealing... I mean most of their latest films aren't that poorly reviewed but something about the marketing just seems generic and cliche so people aren't tuning into the movie.

[Heat Vision]

I say 300: ROAE at 42 million and Peaboy & Sherman at 28-30 million

The global market might save it.

I'm not sure because not only does it have to compete with Lego but also Rio 2 and Muppets as well.

Maybe, but it could surprise.

Massive pet peeve:

 

Girls in your "group" of friends who instigate fights with big fat drunk retards at the bar, knowing full well they are not the ones who are gonna end up getting punched in the face for it.

 

Luckily I escaped a beat down but it was a close one.

 

In other news. Queen Eva.

It has begun...Friday guesstimates, any time now.

definitely see 40m now, even with a bad multiplier -

17 + 13.6(-20%) + 9.4(-31%) = 40

It kept trending upward through the day which is a good sign. Starting at 12-14M, then 15-16M and now 17M.

Friday Box Office: #3 'Non-Stop' (Uni - 3113 runs) $4.9M, Wkd $17.2M, Cume $53.9M; #4 'Lego' (WB - 3290) $2.5M, Wkd $11.6M, Cume $225.6M.

[BadAtGender]

Pretty harsh drop for Lego. But if it's #4 that also means that SoG pretty much cratered.

 

Not a bad hold for Non-Stop.

[lab276]

With Nikki's estimates the top 5 would be between 108 and 113m. Last year's top 5 made 105.6m.

[Olive]

Friday Box Office: #5 'Son Of God' (Fox - 3271 runs) $2.8M, Wkd $9.5M, Cume $41M.

[picores]

Good drop for Non Stop, very good i would say. Will finish with 85m or so.

 

Strong OD for 300:RoaE. Wont have problem passing 40 OW.

 

Peabody number is rather low, it better increase +100% on Saturday. I see 32 OW and 115 finish.
