This is sad. Maleficent better have some big preview numbers. And why is everything dropping on a Thursday? Shouldn't these movies stay flat?

Maybe a side effect of earlier Thursday previews?

That would be my guess. Whatever the reason is, this is not a great # for DOFP.

They started at 8pm right. I didn't see any 7 pm. Maybe, I guess, I don't know. Darn.

I was expecting 10% drop for top 3. This is worse. X-Men will need a 11m Friday to avoid the 60% drop.

What percentage increase would that be from Thursday to Friday?

It may simply be a case of people who might've waited until later in the week caught it during the extended holiday weekend.

About 125%. Seems unlikely.

Same Thursday number as Fast 6 last year. Still on track for a 35M 2nd weekend.

Could be. I don't know. First Cap 2 loses all its theaters and now Xmen dropping like a rock.

125% Friday increase.

Ah ok. So Fast 6 ended with 237m or so right? Is that the best Xmen can do?

Thanks.

We will know for sure post this weekend. If DOFP outpaces Fast 6, then 240+ would be the aim, anything on par with Fast 6 will mean a 230-240M finish.

 

Godzilla will be hit due to theater loss this weekend in terms of IMAX screens as well. Maleficent has a 1 week IMAX run before Tom Cruise takes over next week.

Fast 6 did 238m. X-Men needs better drops over the coming weekends to best it.

[LexJoker]

Bad for both XMEN and Godzilla.

If it follows the same pace less.  DOFP FF6 had a bigger opening Memorial Day w/e and ended Thur with $135.8m.  If this # holds DOFP will be at $129.4m going into the w/e.

F&F6 had a lead of 6M at this point, so something in the 225-230 range is definitely still possible.

Maleficent must have had solid previews for the harsh drops.I am guessing 3.5-4m.
