Weekend Thread. Friday Numbers: Equalizer 12.8-14.5, Box 5.6-6.8m, Maze 4 (Rth)

[Fake]

Solid hold for Maze runner! 90m should happen, and if it drops under 40% next weekend, then there could be a chance of 100m!

I wish the equalizer could go higher

The Equalizer is very good.  I love Denzel charisma and the chemistry with Chloe Moretz.  This young actress is very talented.

I think they are off here a bit.  If This is where I Leave you does 7.8 mill, that is not a 50% drop, that's something like a 32% drop.  And Maze Runner could be a 50% drop.  Someone forgot how to use a calculator.

He's a good actor too. Lots of people relate to him because he seems like a down-to-earth guy and hes attractive. Similar to Will Smith, he attracts a broad audience that crosses all demographics. 

I like him too, but what is it?

Of course he must attract all demographics, but does he profit from being black with a specially loyal black following?

[Krissykins]

Did anyone expect TMNT to still be top 10 2 months later with $187m in the bank???

It's had a great run.

Good for Equalizer.

[DeeCee]

I'll go and see The Equaliser tomorrow.

[James]

Great for TMR. If it manages an under 50% drop this weekend it has a shot at 100M. 

Also, extremly good opening for The Boxtrolls. Could actually have an OW over Coraline.

Very good drop for TIWILY too.

I'm surprised Dolphin Tale 2 falls another 40%+. It'll probably go up.

[Clef Ment]

Good legs for TMR.

[Noctis]

$5m is fantastic for TMR. 

[CJohn]

Solid for TMR. Ok for Boxtrolls, apparently the real number is much lower than the one Rth gave us. Good for The Equalizer.

Are you saying God is wrong?

Are you saying God is wrong?

I am just saying what the numbers are telling me
