These weekend numbers. Expected though. Hope everything goes up.

If that number holds for HB2 it means it has solid WOM and thats not surprising as its pretty funny. Hope it hits 10 mill.

That Interstellar number seems like bullshit. 64% drop? Not buying it. It has been pacing for something more along the lines of $7.5-8m.

Mr.Pink's low on cash this weekend, he can't prop up the numbers.

Hard to believe given its performance this week. It was running over 70% ahead of Thor 2's dailies and now they're saying the weekend will only end up 18% ahead after it was 42% ahead last weekend? I don't buy it...especially coming from Variety, maybe the absolute worst when it comes to "early" numbers.

Compared to CF, that'd be a GREAT number for MJ1.

that Mockingjay drop seems too good to be true. Less than 60%  drop and 195% jump from Thursday

Haven't all the early weekend predictions for Mockingjay been wrong so far?

No shit, he mentioned "budgets" yesterday to me. 

[Mojoguy]

All movies will have MASSIVE drops this weekend!

[lilmac]

Softer drop than I thought for MJ1.  I predicted $21.64M but $23M is possible.

Pink to Theater Vendor: *Lists all of his bonafides*

 

Vendor: What do you think you're some kind of Nolanite rambling on about Batman like that? I'm a theater employee. Director fanboyisms don't work on me, only money!

My guess, there's no basis off actual Friday numbers, it's a projection. Unless Interstellar really is only jumping 80-90% today.

I was thinking more like

 

Pink: One ticket to Interstellar, please.

 

Employee: That'll be 20 bucks.

 

Pink: C'mon Flass, I've got kids to feed.
