Sun#s pg 230...Wknd Est: DOFP: 91M, Godzilla - 31.4M, Blended - 14.2M , NB - 13.9M [NO SPOILERS]

[a2k]

That's right in line with STID's Friday increase last year. Slightly better, actually.

 

though stid made 83m 4-day (thu to sun) and had a 9.9m 2nd friday. gz is looking at 9.5 after a 93m 3-day. so stid was pretty great.

Oh wow, WTF happened to Godzilla?

 

Days of Future Past happened.

[BobbyJohn]

You're really pushing the Maleficent tickets, one by one. 

I wouldn't forgive myself if I fell short 40 dollars in my casino bets xD

[DAR]

Or we could say Godzilla is performing like most blockbusters these days.

DOFP didn't take a single screen away from Godzilla. That's a bad drop.

Early Friday Box Office: Holdover 'Godzilla' (WB/Leg-3952) looking $9.5M for $34.5M FSS (-63%) and $43.5M four-day Mem Wkd. Cume $160M.— Nikki Finke (@NikkiFinke) May 24, 2014

DOFP appeals to the same audience so it definitely hurt Godzilla

 

 

however, considering this is Memorial Day weekend the marketplace has expanded so Godzilla really should have held better.

DoFP did bring in the competition though and had great WoM.

We still have three more days to go with Godzilla.

Front-loaded fanboy franchise with direct competition.

Pretty much. Still a tad worse than I expected though.

Hopefully RTH will save the day

When do we get Nikki's fake cinema scores?

One day doesn't necessarily constitute great WOM.

I'll wait until final Rth numbers, but the number seems to be in line with what I thought it would do.

RTH had it at 10 for an early estimate. I wouldn't be surprised if the west coast doesn't come through like last time. And based on the Thursday number, it wasn't looking that good.

Go back to Deadline Nikki!! Her predictions are never certain now

[bballman24]

When do we get Nikki's fake cinema scores?

When she gets sober enough (like 3 minutes out of the day)

[Mulder]

Touche. Great critic scores I guess?

[BobbyJohn]

When do we get Nikki's fake cinema scores?

When wine factories get shut down

Godzilla has had strong weekdays. mon-thu was 24m compared to TASM2's 19m.

So even if it has a TASM2 like weekend/weekend drop, it brought in 5m more during the weekdays.

And the Mem day monday will be big too.

RTH had it at 10 for an early estimate. I wouldn't be surprised if the west coast doesn't come through like last time. And based on the Thursday number, it wasn't looking that good.

But most expected 4.5 after the Wednesday number though.

It's pretty much following people's expectation. Just meh numbers really. Mixed WOM for sure now
