Weekend Numbers: GOTG - 94M (PG 180) [25.5M Sunday (Spatula) Cancel the Godzilla legs!]

[Noctis]

I hate that number for HTTYD2.

[baumer]

What are you thinking then? 2.2 to 2.6 range multi?

2. 5. .....2. 7

[Noctis]

I just want Guardians to pass TF4.

[MrPink]

Oh really? Does it look like HTTYD2 is winning the summer right now?

 

Leave us.

[grey ghost]

So let's talk Saturday increase.Without previews, GOTG made about 26M on Friday.Marvel movies tend to have less than 10% decrease on Saturday, but that would mean GOTG would have to do about 34M. That would be about a 32% increase from Friday. This is highly unlikely.Of course we are assuming it's going to increase.

Anything over 90 m will make me a happy man.

I just hope it manages to cross the $235M mark DOM. Anything over $250M would be remarkable.

[thunder storm]

it's $95M right now

Guardians of the Galaxy $95,000,000 -- 4,080 -- $23,284 $95,000,000

how much should the movie do on Saturday really? I can't see it performing like the other ones since those were outside summer.

Avengers

 

 

It's because it's not a Disney animation.

 

 

"Avengers" barely gotten over the hump.  Since then there's been what 10 Comic Book Movies and none of them did it:

Is it really that big a difference? Serious question.

[#ED]

HTML is great. Try it guys.

[wileECoyote]

Let's see GotG

"Midnight" 11.2

Friday   26.6

 

Looking at The Wolverine last year

Sat 29 +9%

Sun 22.7 -22%

89.5 weekend.

 

And I believe it should do better than TW.

[DAR]

Superbuddies is on that list?

ASM1 had a 3x multiplier, but it opened on Tuesday.

CAPTAIN AMERICA basically stayed flat Fri-Sat (minus midnights). It had a very slight increase. Now, that was before 7pm sneaks started, but it gives a vague baseline for this time of year.

[JohnnyGossamer]

ASM1 had a 3x multiplier.

Yes it did.  BUT, it opened on a Tuesday. So... Not a true representation. It's OW was muted.

Dragon was predicted to be the biggest movie of the summer by many people, so its boxoffice run is a massive disappointment especially with zero animated competition (No, Planes doesn't count). 

[John Marston]

I think it does. As everyone being off school gives more time to go on Friday right now.

We know, you've repeated this like 524151354156813215641301 times already.

[Warhorse]

Could've been worse. At least it wasn't Nymphomaniac playing instead of Frozen.

Or worse, somebody could have pulled a Fight Club number.
