Weekend Actuals 8/1-8/3 GOTG 94.3m Lucy 18.3m GOU 13.6m

Fair enough. Sometimes though a film stays in theaters and the "final" number from the end of tracking will get updated.

It'll be marginal though if it happens. 

[Deep Wang]

Yeah or it could be the Blu Ray was priced to expensively for a film people decided to just take on a chance on picking up. Hard to tell especially since I don't think The Numbers is getting numbers directly from the studios.Edit: just checked at the $$$ amount is empty for Blu Rays for the first few weeks so that explains how the totals are off.

But then again, what is a good total for an original movie on home video? Seriously, I really have no idea. Is there like a percentage to go for or what?

[The Panda]

Of course none of those above it opened to 90m + so 13 is underselling it's achievement.To put it in recent perspective it took Godzilla 21 days longer to make it $200m than ASM2.

Godzilla is the third slowest in the 21st century and 2nd slowest of the decade!

[TServo2049]

If you adjust for inflation it is indeed the second slowest, by about 3 weeks (at today's prices, Tangled would have gotten to $200m some time *before* the Memorial Day push - probably on or just after its first dollar-theater weekend in March?)Godzilla took 6 days more than WWZ...off a weekend that was almost $27m bigger.

Highest OW for a non-sequel in 2014. GOTG may well keep the title until the end of the year.

Interstellar could theoretically do it, but that's gonna be incredibly difficult.

Gravity did 43M so far.

[narniadis]

Either way it's not being tracked anymore.

Wrong - it wasn't tracked on the estimates but it's there on the actuals list.

Godzilla getting to $200M.

I don't care how long it took for Godzilla to get to $200 million....just that it got there.

Now it's up to Warner to get Edge of Tomorrow to 100M. If not in the next few weeks, then I pray for a Labor Day expansion.

Box Office Weekend: Behind The Scenes, A Fight For Screens

This weekend, four new movies will debut — three of them are in the 3D format, but only one has a lock on the premium large-format screens (PLF) — Warner Bros.’ disaster pic Into The Storm. With Guardians Of The Galaxyfrom Disney having a second-weekend lock on all the coveted Imax screens, that leaves Paramount’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles out in the cold with the large formats.

Will it harm Paramount’s Ninja Turtles weekend gross? “It won’t stop them,” said one veteran distribution executive. “It still could make $40 million or a little under this weekend.” If Guardians Of The Galaxy drops 50% in its second weekend, it will make around $41.4 million, so could not having those big screens make the difference between the No. 1 and No. 2 box office spot? “Yes, it could.” And therein lies the rub.

While distributors fight for screens every weekend, the behind-the-scenes jockeying for large-format screens has gotten particularly competitive this weekend, according to those with knowledge of the situation. Both Disney and Warner Bros entered into their prospective deals with Imax and the PLF exhibitors (respectively) early on and aren’t budging. Exhibitors that have the PLF screens include Cinemark, Regal, AMC and Carmike.
