Godzilla Thurs: 9.3, other thurs #s also: Neighbors 3.5M, ASM2: 1.9M

I've had always the same problem. When will we have a chart with midnight numbers?

 

We have a midnight thread, but you have to sift through it.

UPDATE, 9:44 P.M: I know it’s early still, but we’re hearing that Godzilla may be exceeding expectations tonight in late-night bows and will end up north of $6M in the AM.[/

Yay, Godzilla!

 

They added "perhaps 8-10m"

[Plain Old Tele]

I know the release dates are different... PAC RIM did $3.6m midnights on the way to a $38m weekend. If GODZILLA follows that generally, it'd end up in the low 70s. WWZ did about $3.6m too, right? But it busted out to 66m OW. If we take recent openers and look at the sneaks/OW ratio, if this follows TASM2 it would also be a low 70s weekend.

But if this does more than ASM2, how do you get a low 70's OW?

Yeah but these 7pm shows kind of changes up the equation.

If it gets 100m OW there will be a lot of people screwed in the summer game.....

[BoxOfficeZ]

$9.3 mil for #Godzilla from Thursday evening shows in N. America. $2.1 million of that is from IMAX.

And there goes all my points in the Casino thread.

[Plain Old Tele]

Wow, 9.3m is really big. However, this might be the sort of movie that's front loaded when it comes to sneaks/OW ratio (especially given the 7pm start). Still, I think this locks in 70m as the floor now.

So that's why you really don't like the film

 

kidding of course

$9.3m is an amazing start.

[Plain Old Tele]

Oh yes, and if it hits 100m, Kal will be insufferable.

Godzilla just unleashed a broadside into the gut of 2014 summer superhero movies.
