Early Wed Numbers: Tammy 6.18 (incl 1.3 previews), Trans4 7.7, DUFE: 2.8 ETE 2.6...pg 21

Melissa McCarthy starring comedyTammy kicked off its five-day weekend with a late night grab of around $1.3M for Warner Bros., signaling the start of the Fourth of July holiday. That’s a good start for the comedy directed by McCarthy’s husband Ben Falcone and co-starring Susan Sarandon. One note: For all pictures, we have the weather to consider this weekend as a hurricane/tropical storm is preparing to hit the East Coast.

 

Tammy‘s late nights started at 8 p.m. across the country on a Tuesday, so it is a tough apples to apples comparison to make with other films. One distrib noted that We’re the Millers opened last August to $1.7M and had a $26.4M opening weekend. Other comps provided were A Million Ways to Die in the West with $891K, The Other Woman with 550K, Heat with 1M, and Identity Thief with $450K.

Deliver Us From Evil and Earth to Echo both had midnight showings. We were told that because it was a Tuesday, Sony opted out of evening shows on the Jerry Bruckheimer horror flick. No grosses have been reported by either distributor Sony or Relativity, respectively, for midnights.

If you look at other grosses last night, Transformers: Age of Extinction grossed around $10.3M last night, with How to Train Your Dragon 2 flying in with $2.6M and 22 Jump Street grossing about $2.2M; both are in their third week of release and all had a full day of play unlike Tammy. Just to show where the rest of the pack might line up as we head into the Fourth of July holiday. It will likely be a logjam after No. 1 and No. 2.

I did not dig up budgets for this weekend openers, so will have to go with what I hear from studio execs (unfortunately): That being said, Tammy was around $20M and Earth to Echo about $13M is what is claimed. That doesn’t include marketing and distribution costs., of course. But all of these pics are modestly budgeted fare.

Earth To Echo is going to barely make back its budget.

Given it was Tuesday previews instead of Thursday that's fairly decent for Tammy. It could pull Heat numbers it could pull We're the Millers opening numbers.

Dayum Tammy is looking pretty good. Another Boxoffice succ for McCarthy.

[MovieGuyKyle17]

I'm waiting to see if there's any numbers for that movie "America". Its playing at my regal, I never heard of it, and its weird for a small release to even come to my area. I expect it to be out by the end of the week. 

[miketheavenger]

It's tough to extrapolate since it's a holiday, but I think Tammy could make close to $40M for the five-day weekend.

[Kalderic]

not bad for tammy. Should have a decent run through the rest of the week. I was expecting around 800k-1M.

Another 500K saved by Paramount, 1.6M to go.

What is this? A 5 day thread?

Oh christ, I'm just reading some of the Tammy reviews. What happened? I thought this was McCarthy's passion project...

[mattmav45]

When are people going to realize that it's not McCarthy's films, but rather McCarthy herself that sucks ass?

 

Besides being obese as fuck, is there really anything she brings to the table?

St. Vincent seems to be much better, so there's hope for her.
