Friday Estimates: Maze Runner: 11.25, Walk among Tombstones 4.7M , All numbers in first post

[forg]

Better  OW forecast for TMR

[Jack Nevada]

Tusk?

[zackzack]

So so for TMR. Jeez @ GotG. Guardians going more than both Iron Man 1 & 2?

[Godzilla]

Tombstones wasn't that well marketed. Probably would have opened sub 10 without Neeson. Not to mention it was dumped one week before the similar looking Equalizer

Tombstone will be just fine it has a $23M budget.

Strong $11.25M opening day FRI for #MazeRunner going to low 30s wknd. SEP films rarely open to $30M+.

 

Get it, TMR.

in fact a 28 mil budget

still..it's opening in lots of markets,it's modestly marketed,it will turn a profit

[RyneOh1040]

Maze Runner, earning an A- CinemaScore, grossed roughly $11 million for the day from 3,604 theaters, including Imax runs.

NIIIIIICEEE! I'm happy with that! Also got a very good Cinemascore, even though they are so unreliable most of the time.

Decent opening day. Saturday will decide exactly where it is headed.

I just realized..last week's openers legs are shit!

yep.

Dolphin Tale and bombing do not belong in the same sentence.  

[The Panda]

Now that's a lot nicer of a number than 24m, unless it has a huge Saturday drop (but looking at how non-frontloaded its previews were not all that likely) it should do well.

[wileECoyote]

+365% for DT2?  Wow.

GotG isn't getting as big as a Friday bump as usual yet it's still holding well enough.  TC loss was light but thinking screen count and showtimes were hit harder.  Also, MR is opening bigger than the mid-20's which was earlier reported.  

[James]

I'm surprised that This Is Where I Leave You has a budget of only 19.8M. With OS grosses it'll actually end up bringing money.

Yea, with a 1 million dollar Thursday preview, I really doubt it's dropping today.  Based on previous years, it should increase a minimum of 20% today.

How much do these actors work for if the budget is that low?  Half a mill each?

first of all it's a very small movie..why would it cost more? (I know it's an all-star cast but still)

2nd of all..does this movie really have an OS appeal? I mean the movie's premise is about Shiva which is a Jewish ritual when somebody dies..it's like making a movie about Ramadan..not sure how much this will affect its potentials

 

a good comparison would be the Coen Brother's A Serious Man which only made 30 mil WW
