Wednesday Official: Interstellar 1.35M (1st time in a decade #1 movie is a limited release)

So I'm thinking the numbers are going to be split, right?

 

250 theaters will report Thursday numbers for Interstellar, while all the rest will just roll them into Friday.

Rth gave his estimate around this time yesterday.

Good ?, as far as i know thurs will be the initial 250+ rest, but that could change,  Thu total say looking around 3.3-3.4m mark

boxoffice.com mentions there no direct comparisons for Interstellar's opening day gross. There is one: Mission Impossible 4.

There are two problems: it opened on Friday (instead of Wednesday) and in 425 theaters (instead of 240). The second can be bypassed by using the theater average.

 

For Mission Impossible 4 it was $9,654 per theater. For Interstellar, it was $5,423 per thetaer. Although it was a Wednesday, this film received so much buzz prior to release, that this number can only create a slight disappointment. Things can definitely improve over the weekend but if it doesn't at least come close to Gravity's opening day ($17.5M), things will be looking grim.
