One thing I do NOT miss.

I start at 9. Got to work at 9:45.The F(as in "Fuck You") decided to suck today.They could make a movie on the MTA.

It's most likely headed exactly where tracking and the studio thought it would. MELTDOWN.

@ richws!Spot on!

We also have a quote feature, Donald.

Don't know why some people expected a 80-100million type of weekend a 60-70 range would be good for it if it does less than that it would be time to panic.

Ahhh the F. Can't tell you how many times I heard "due to signal problems at Church Ave/Kings Highway/Jay St/etc". Always something.

CA2 opened in April and so weekdays were not great compared to july opening of CA1. Still with stronger reception and much bigger OW, it did similar multi.

 

I am seeing something similar to to CF. OW not that different but much better multi bcos reception is better.

 

Dragon 2 and Panda 2 just showed audience did not want a sequel. 

 

CF opened 1 year after HG and did not add 3D.

Dawn has 3 years of inflation and has added 3D. So a similar ow for Rise and Dawn is not same as CF and HG ow being similar.

 

Anyways, CF's multiplier too is barely above HGs, 2.686 vs 2.674

So even that improvement would put Dawn's multiplier at 3.23 tops (Rise was 3.22).

But considering how strong previews are today compared to 2011, I don't think it's feasible. imo max potential is ~3.0x.

It's not unique. Signal problems are a global virus. I was 35 minutes late this week due to signal problems a Hurstville.

It's not unique. Signal problems are a global virus. .

I'm sure it's a problem everywhere but that doesn't make it any less frustrating. Particularly when you rely on it everyday to get everywhere.

While the preview number for Apes is not great by any means, I also think one shouldn't overreact here. This is not nearly as fan-driven as Comic book movies or Transformers, so I still expect 60M+ for the weekend, which would be solid.

[#ED]

60M+ would be a success.

[Moviedweeb]

This is a very strong number IMO especially when comparing to its predecessor. This may approach $70m for the weekend and may make significantly more than $200m domestic which is a huge win for the franchise.

[RichWS]

I'm a little frustrated it didn't reach my very realistic 99M prediction, though. Stupid summer's fault.

[Fancyarcher]

Numbers seem fine to me.

[Heat Vision]

Apes together not strong...
