DeeCee Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 If you go strictly by OST, then Godzilla would stay flat today. Friday: 38Sat: 38Sun: 25.2 That would give it a 101.2 mill OW.Would OST have had actual midnights and not evening previews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 So who knows. This means that Friday did about 29 mill, which is bigger than both Spidey and Captain. I'm not sure what the increase will be today. It's going to toy with 100 mill for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Would OST have had actual midnights and not evening previews? Only midnights according to Guru. Starting out the weekend, Friday took in $34.9M including $4.7M from Thursday night's post-midnight shows. Saturday dipped by only 8% to $31.9M - good for a poorly-reviewed fourth chapter of an action series - and Sunday dropped as estimated by only 27% to $23.4M.

Not liking the movie because the characters and script sucked doesn't make you a hater, it just means we wanted something more from the film. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#ED Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I can tell you there will be a major increase in NYC thats for sure(Top 2 theaters in the U.S.). It was really bad last night, but today it's going to be perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Very strong numbers but I don't see $100 million. Probably $96-97 million is where it will end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were to follow OST, which also opened strongly on this weekend 3 years ago, it would top 100 mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have thought that Godzilla would beat Spiderman (and Captain America) when this was announced a few years ago? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have thought that Godzilla would beat Spiderman (and Captain America) when this was announced a few years ago? The first time I saw the trailer with a packed theater, it was met with snickers. I think a lot of people, including me, thought, "Oh boy, another Godzilla movie...what a joke." But the marketing was outstanding. The trailers really made it an event film. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 38.53 means 100m OW is a possibility and I'd say it's a near lock to open above TASM2. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
