Empire Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 i can see closer to 40m if 20m is indeed true (which is way off from rth's earlies so may not be), it's 8.2 + 11.8 on friday. so 8.2 + 11.8 + 12 + 8.5(-29%) would be 40.5m Yeah, if 20M is true, I could see that happening. I think Friday # will be higher like Rth said earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Considering the giant lines I will be very shocked if TFIOS only does 11.8M today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACSlater Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Yeah, if 20M is true, I could see that happening. I think Friday # will be higher like Rth said earlier. Still early in the day...West Coast still has their part to play not to mention quite early for East Coast as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassfairy Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Same, bb. I'm getting annoyed. Get that female cash, TFIOS. Werk. YASSS. All this testosterone can't handle the estrogen slayage. Even though I wouldn't doubt them on the bad legs thing. Fans of comic book movies would be experts on the subject... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) It might not drop by much on Sunday though. A 30% Saturday increase and then a 30% Sunday decrease would mean a 35.3M OW. It can be done. I forgot to add a 0, I edited to 30% Sat increase. 30% increase from 11m is a 55% increase from non-preview friday (9.2m) 30% increase from 9.2m (11.96m) and 30% drop on sunday(8.37m) would give a 31.33m ow. not saying it's impossible. but am skeptical about 35m ow with 11m friday.

I understand, hopefully it goes up to 12M+. The movie deserves it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 @NikkiFinke 4m Early Friday Box Office: #1 YA's 'Fault In Our Stars' at $20M targeting $40M, #2 Tom Cruise's 'Edge Of Tomorrow' at $11M tracking for $35M. Let's wait for actual numbers before the F word (front loading) is thrown around. First of all, RTH is always more accurate than Nikki and secondly of course this is going to be frontloaded. Two months ago, did anyone here, except maybe Blankments, think this would do 3 mill at midnight let alone 8? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two months ago, did anyone here, except maybe Blankments, think this would do 3 mill at midnight let alone 8? Actually, I did think it would do about as much as, or slightly more than, Divergent did at midnight. Which is why the actual Friday being lower than Divergent's actual Friday is seeming weird. Hopefully it finishes above 24M today. Edited June 7, 2014 by grim22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bballman24 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Antarctica could score against Mexico. Using penguins. lol You guys should've watched Japan vs. Zambia game. Way better than the borefest that is Mex vs. Portugal. Mexico really suck at making chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two months ago, did anyone here, except maybe Blankments, think this would do 3 mill at midnight let alone 8? I don't think it's going to be as front-loaded as some are saying. Twilight opened to $69M and it did a nice $192M DOM total. I think that had more reasons to be front-loaded than this film has.I think it'll have a big drop next week but stabilize after that. Also this film has much better reviews than Twilight. Edited June 7, 2014 by Godzilla likes Tom Cruise 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EOT has pretty much no shot at increasing anywhere near 30% tomorrow. It's an opener. Openers, unless they are kids movies, don't go up 30% in the summer on its first Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 talking about front-loading and teens and love, just a small shout out to Endless Love. 7.4m od, 13.3m ow, 23.4m dom. of course, v-day made the front loading worse but it's still something isn't it..

lyndenfl Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Based on Nikki's projection that EOT will be #2 with $35 million, does that mean that MALEFICIENT will drop 50%+ percent this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
