[DAR]

Um Friday numbers there they are

[a2k]

Will these movies hit these milestones...

All will need dollar theater bump imo

 

Godzilla $200 million?

It will be ~1.5 away after this weekend. Will need WB to push it.

 

Neighbors $150 million?

 

Edge of Tomorrow $100 million?

Will be 3.5m away after this weekend (of ~1 mil). Should make it to 98.5 without help. Close enough for WB and dollar theaters to make it happen.

WB has a lot of work to do. Godzilla, EOT and they've squeezed every penny they could get out of Lego.

Yeah, Nolan's miserable legs should be fun

It won't be miserable. Ed will cut his own leg to support the Nolan cause if he has to.

I think there's a kneebrace that can help Nolan with his problem.

Purge 2 may stay flat from non-midnights or a small decrease. Looks good for it. The increase for Planes is shockingly low to non-existent.

Apes gonna win. Yes

 

Bodes well for SOTM 10.

Jesus. Apes might go up 40%... on a Saturday in July! That's incredible.

[La Binoche]

Really hoping Apes tops the Summer box office. Sorry fellow #Dame stans but i'ma have to go with the better film. 

[Mango]

Okay, so if Apes does $14 million Saturday...

 

Fri - $10.4

Sat - $14 (+35%)

Sun - $10.1 (-28%)

 

That's $34.5 million, which would only be a 53% drop (only 4% more than Rise)

 

Damn good if you ask me. It's completely rebounded after taking bigger hits Wednesday/Thursday.

Really hoping for 15M+

[superduperm]

Good numbers all around. Especially for Apes (was hoping for 13.5, so hopefully that range stays reality).Also, there is no way Apes drops 28% on Sunday. That is basically a worst of the worst. Should drop 25% max.

Jump Street will never cease. :DAlso, sat Maleficent holds. Methinks some fudging was involved with Planes 2.

 I was giving the worse case scenario. As in the movie has huge Friday and Saturday bumps and takes a bigger than normal hit Sunday.

Well, thinking about the impressive Monday and Tuesday numbers followed by the depressing Wednesday and Thursday numbers, that's probably the way to go.

Well...not really.

[BoxOfficeZ]

Nice increase for Apes.

I still have zero clue as to why Maleficent is holding so well. The WOM is nothing special, and the reviews are VERY mixed. To me, it was a good/decent movie. The end.It's not even the only "family film" out there. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is getting significantly better reception, yet here's Maleficent doing significantly better at the box office. This summer had no rules.With that said, good numbers for both Purge and Apes. Apes should still win the weekend though, which makes me happy.

 

WOM part is just flat wrong. You don't hit 3.5+ multiplier with average WOM especially in this summer. It's WOM is far closer to being great than say average.
