TServo2049 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) The Identical's Sunday dropped 41% from estimates; it was overestimated by 70%. Has a daily number ever been overestimated to that degree?Another bit of trivia: The Identical is the lowest-ranking top (wide) opener since January 22-24, 1999 (the weekend after MLK, when Gloria opened at #15).

miketheavenger Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 So it looks like GOTG will pass $300m on Saturday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I am in awe at Guardians' numbers. Will cross $300m without breaking a sweat. Bow down to the King of Summer box office and box office overall. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wileECoyote Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 BoxOffice @BoxOffice 5m GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY took in $10.36M this weekend. Domestic total now stands at $294.77M. #GOTG And it went up. Sub 40 drop despite an inflated Labor Day 3-Day I am in awe at Guardians' numbers. Will cross $300m without breaking a sweat. Bow down to the King of Summer box office and box office overall.It's not like a mini TA but more like IM. And it's going to likely overtake IM multiple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 After more than a month you'd expect IFC would stop overestimating Boyhood by 200k or so every weekend... but no. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 In fact Guardians has got a decent shot at outgrossing Iron Man. It needs to continue with 40% drops and it will get there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Wang Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 In fact Guardians has got a decent shot at outgrossing Iron Man. It needs to continue with 40% drops and it will get there.It just had a $10m weekend and is about $20m away. I don't see how it misses it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAJK Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Well now that that giant bore of a weekend is over, we can look forward to a slightly less boring weekend!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 So now that this weekend is over we can, I guess, start preparing for a weekend where GotG isn't #1...right? I mean, afterall, who doesn't like a feel good dolphin tail? Surely that and/or No Good Deed open higher than $6m, yes? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) For GOTG to stay at #1, both of the new releases would have to flop and GOTG would have to have a crazy good hold. It's a million to one shot.That said, GOTG is still looking at a great hold. Perhaps it could be flirting with 25%.

Ando918 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The Giver is performing better than I expected. I haven't seen it and don't intend to. But the legs/multiplier are indicating that maybe some adults are going to see Bridges and Streep. I didn't think that movie would finish in the 40s domestically, but it will.

This weekend's Fri-Fri and Sat-Sat drops were 29.6 and 18.8 respectively. And that's despite losing IMAX to FG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incarnadine Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Dismal weekend, but glad to see GOTG with a sub 40% drop and Lucy with a sub 30% drop (and back in the top 10! ) With weak weekends you gotta look for the bright spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I could see guardians managing a sub 30 drop this next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrath Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Who would have thought back in July we'd be saying that?! Yeah, seriously. I considered myself one of GotG bigger boosters before it came out (I still feel pretty good about that $650-680M WW projection) but I remember posting that I thought there was absolutely zero chance of it catching MoS's domestic take and its blowing right past that. Looks like I might have been a little optimistic on the OS front, though I guess we'll have to wait until October to see how China pans out.

druv10 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Yeah, that was a really solid hold this weekend. GotG's chance of passing IM continues to climb. I don't see how it misses 320M. It's 5.9M ahead of IM1 and it'll continue to gain on it since competition doesn't get strong for a while. That lead should be around 8M after next weekend and IM1 only 12M away. Dare I say, beating IM1 is locked.
