Alpha Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Based on REALLY early numbers that you probably shouldn't take seriously, Gone Girl is headed for a $30 million plus opening weekend, and Annabelle should hit above $12 million on Friday. http://forums.boxoffice.com/index.php?/topic/16455-weekend-numbers-from-thr-gone-girl-34m-annabelle-25-30m-pg-3-left-behind-27m-variety/?p=1706017 Edited October 3, 2014 by Alpha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filmovie Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 After this Saturday it's hard to image Annabelle under 75 mln total. So we have already an answer: Will any film listed as a horror gross more than 75M by the end of the game? YES Damn, I changed it at last moment and I put "NO" For this we will have to wait but right now the answer to this question looks more "YES" than "NO" 6.

laguy03 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 If Anabelle can make over $75M, I think there is a really good chance that it will end up in the top 15. Last year's spots 13-15 made less than $75M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
