Weekend numbers: Ca2 41.4M, Oculus 12M, draft day 9.75M, Raid 2 1M

I blame the extraordinary good weather for the forums crashing.

[ecstasy]

that Rio number honestly makes no sense at all. I can't think of a single family movie opening outside of summer that didn't jump at least 50% on Saturday.

 

Yeah that doesn't sound right. Is that from Deadline.com?

[AdamKendall]

The extraordinary weather caused me to see Draft Day ... and while it wasn't 'best film so far this year' like it was for Baumer ... it was pretty, pretty, pretty good.

[ecstasy]

@NikkiFinke: "Unfortunately [LOL], extraordinary good U.S. weather today has suppressed box office across the board," one studio tells me.

 

That's weird. I never heard that excuse used for US Box Office before. England yes. US no. I don't know.

UPDATED, SATURDAY: 10:35 P.M.:  ....Rio 2 which is up about 27% for a Saturday gross of anywhere from $15.1M to $15.3M — 

 

Now Rio 2's Saturday bump is upped to 34%

Rio 2 which is up about 34% for a Saturday gross of anywhere from $15.3M to $16M

Won't be surprised if it goes up more..

 

 

If CA2 has a 32% drop on Sunday, it will get 12 + 17.7 + 12.03 = 41.73m weekend (-56.0% from ow)

Okey for Cap. I hoped for a million more. But 42 mill should still happen

[ecstasy]

So bad increases all around from the looks of it. Cap didn't get the big Marvel Saturday boost and Rio 2 didn't get the huge family boost if these numbers hold.

 

Cap didn't get the big Marvel boost probably because it's pretty violent.

Yeah, I imagine that is a big reason why.

[kitik]

So the top 4 are looking like:

 

1. CATWS: 41-42

2. Rio2: 40

3. Oculus: 11.9

4. Draft Day: 9.9

And here comes Nikki with her weekend estimates @NikkiFinke: Wkd Box Office: #1 / $40M tie between 'Rio 2' (Fox-3948 runs) & 'Captain America 2' (Marvel-3938) because of "good US weather".

[Mulder]

Eh TDK doesn't make the violence thing valid.

Fox is more likely to overestimate tomorrow morning to claim the weekend win, right?

[AdamKendall]

We're really going with 'weather' huh ... do you think if Avengers 2 was opening this weekend, 'weather' would have been a danger to it's box office?

Compared to the May movies CA2's 52% bump is better than TA, IM1 and IM2 - 46.8%, 43.7%, 49.7%.

Lower than Thor and IM3 - 66% and 62.6%

 

So not really an un-Marvel bump.

Sorry, but you can't use extraordinary movies like Avatar or TDK or Titanic or whatever to try to prove some point about ordinary movies. That's just stupid.

[Claire of Themyscira]

Kinda imagined this might happen.

 

Then again, I stopped worrying about this because the new really hot cute guy from TSD had me as his partner for blockwalking, and we learned about each other.

 

I think he flirted with me too. BLESS.

Ok thanks for posting that. Glad you're here to come up with the stats. Good job.
