Thursday Numbers (Spatula) | The Fault in our Stars - 3.7M | Maleficent - 3.59M

[Godzilla]

But at the same time this summer will likely provide RECORD number of 200+ movies. ASM2, Zilla, X, Malef, Bayformers 4, Dragon 2 are all almost locked now. 1 more and it's a record

 

22 Jump Street, Apes, and even Guardians of the Galaxy have a great shot. The record will most likely be broken.

For Mal to for sure hit 200 we need to see how big the drop off is this week and Transformers week.

Damn, EoT needs a 100% Fri increase.

WWZ crossed 200M, and it opened even lower than Mal. Currently Maleficent has been holding up better than WWZ, 200M+ is 90% locked.

It did drop a lot today, so maybe things will stabilize.

CAP 2 opened a month away from summer.

 

If nothing else outgrosses it this summer, who wants to bet studios start "officially" referring to April as summer?

 

(Like they should have started doing, kinda, in 2011.)

Why not March too? Let's say the summer season goes from March to October.

Well excuse me for having a fucking terrible memory!

Also, wasn't Cap's performance all the MORE impressive because it didn't fall in the summer? What's with this need to put everything under the summer label?

[a2k]

Malef is 144.3m with thu estimates.

That's 50.5m for the week (34.3 + 16.2)

Will easily get 55-56m more to touch 200m. Should go >210m.

I guess being the first out of the gate really DOES matter, even if that meant opening a month before May. TWS scheduling looks like such a genius move after such a weak May.

The problem with April though is it can't sustain multiple huge blockbusters, and it can only do so when Easter falls in April too.  Both March and April are strong months, however neither have proven to be able to sustain as many blockbusters as a summer month can.

[a2k]

spidey is effectively at #10 for the year right now behind

lego, ca2, dofp, malef, httyd2, tf4, bh6, mj1, hobbit3

with gotg, interstellar, 22js and apes being other possibilities, and of course possible surprise hits.

[BobbyJohn]

Is Zilla locked locked 100% for 200 mil?

[Moviedweeb]

I really want EoT to make a little bit of a comeback today, truly deserves it. If it can keep pace somehwat with Now You See Me and cross $100m DOM I would be very pleased. Hoping this can do Pacific Rim-type numbers.

[baumer]

Lol. No.

[Fake]

Godzilla is almost sure to miss 200m unless it drops under 35% this weekend.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

The crazy thing is a "blockbuster" movie that opened at the beginning of the "summer" will be making peanuts by the start of the actual summer season.

[Godzilla]

If EoT follows Prometheus with this Thursday number, it would do $14.2M for the weekend, I think it'll hold up a lot better, so $15-16M is definitely possible.

WB will push it to $200M...........
