Official Weekend Estimates: Maleficent - 70M, X-Men - 32.6M, A Million Ways - 17.1M, Godzilla - 12.2M

Same Hour of Opening day:

Alice in Wonderland: 5.1

 

Thank you, now we have a basis.

 

Alice in Wonderland made 40.8m, this is roughly half of that. So its not actually trending that strong

A bit over half then. Could still open in the 60s.

[Hatebox]

I'm eating crow at that Maleficent number - thought it would only do ok at best. Never underestimate the Disney machine, I guess.

 

PS - that line wasn't an intentional pun.

So roughly half the level of Alice so far? In that case the 7pm early shows strike again with that high preview number.

They just got lucky. Disney's machine did nothing for John Carter and The Lone Ranger.

 

They didn't get lucky, they got Jolie.

Well I don't have a basis for comparison but it's absolutely clobbering the competition. Maleficent - 2.64A Million Ways to Die - 0.36

Not surprising really for a rated R comedy. Most of its business will be tonight.

It is trending for a 60M OW. Not bad.

[John Marston]

60? I thought people were saying it was making 70-80m?

[Blackout]

Is that X-Men number good or bad?

[#ED]

Never thought we would ever see that title.

 

[Mango]

Hahaha, this thread title is going to cause a heart attack in some people until they read the last bit. 

[ecstasy]

LOL Spatula is about to create a firestorm.

[rockNrollaDIM]

This is 4 years after Alice though... Does half the Friday matinee number really mean half the OW? There can be other factors at play.

[4815162342]

Holy shit we have matinee numbers? From spatula?!?!?!

 

 

Your move Rth

[eXtacy]

Is that X-Men number good or bad?

 

This is the first time we have ever received matinee numbers, so we don't know

 

Exciting though

Holy crap, Spatula has some otherworldly sources.

We have two data points, can't do much extrapolation from that.

[simbaqueen]

Difficult to know how things are going to go. Still too early but AMWTDITW figures don't look encouraging.

[Plain Old Tele]

Um... wow.

 

Well, I guess time to start having a whole new set of comps.

 

Nikki, eat your heart out.
