TalismanRing Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 All fairly close to the estimates so far. Not even Horrible Bosses 2 was overestimated by all that much. My guess is Penguins with a 40% Sun drop will be overestimated. (Disney for BH6 used a 47%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitik Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 And here's where Imitation Game ranks compared to other limited openers with super high theater averages. If you subtract out the special-release cartoons and other oddballs like Red State, the actual list of limited release theater averages should look like: 1. Grand Budapest Hotel 2. The Master 3. Moonrise Kingdon 4. Dreamgirls 5. American Hustle 6. The Imitation Game 7. Brokeback Mountain 8. Birdman Though I'll admit it's abitrary and debatable.

ecstasy Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Kitik I'm confused. You're tracking Imitation Game but in another thread you said Theory of Everything didn't fit your criteria for tracking. What's the difference? They are both limited releases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
