Yeah Deadline says the budget is 170-180m.

 

So I guess Disney learned how to keep their budgets down.

Looks like Rallax's theater is pretty good for getting a national estimate. According to his theater, the movies should have done 27.3M, 14.2M and 5.5M.

Disney’s Maleficenthad a bump of around 6% on Saturday thanks to the family audience. Estimates tonight peg it anywhere between $66M to $69M after casting a Saturday spell of around $24M to $25M+. It will be clearer in the morning after all the numbers are known, but it’s on the high end of our original Thursday estimate.

 

Meanwhile, the draw in moviegoing for Seth MacFarlane’s A Million Ways to Die in the West from Friday to Saturday was pretty flat (only up 2%) which puts it around $17M+ and is a big disappointment for Universal and all involved.

 

In its sophomore frame, Fox’s X-Men: Days of Future Past held better than had been expected with an estimated $13.9M Saturday, down 52% from the debut Saturday before. Also in its second weekend, Blended (WBros.) is right in line with previous estimates to drop about 43% from last weekend’s 3-day gross.Neighbors got a little bump on Saturday and may actually leapfrog over Blendedto take the No. 5 spot in the box office Top Five

Their budgets do seem to be extra high most of the time but every once in a while they put out a movie with a reasonable budget like Tron Legacy.

[LexJoker]

Godzilla finally has a decent day.

Whoops, my mistake.

[Mango]

Thank god DOFP had a great Saturday. I was getting worried there. Hopefully Sunday can hold below 33%.

[John Marston]

still will be in a struggle to reach 200m

[picores]

If Maleficent Saturday is indeed 26m, it needs a 24% drop on Sunday to get 70m OW. Snow White dropped 30% on the same time, but this is more kid friendly given the bigger Saturday jump even accounting the Maleficent inflated midnights.

Most hollywood budgets are unnecessarily big.

 

That is true though.

If it plays like a family movie and drops 32-35%, that gives it a 67M weekend.

No need to fear.
