Wow

really underwhelming for selma

[John Marston]

Good for Taken. Seems ok for Selma. Horrible drop for Hobbit. Might not pass DOS now

[Cmasterclay]

Awful for Selma, even if it isn't a Friday movie. I expected at least 20 million. Wow. Not particularly great for Taken, either.

[John Marston]

No reason to expect Selma to go higher. Taken is doing good considering franchise fatigue

[VictorHugogui]

I Hope that Taken 3 go high even now 36M is not bad at all.

Selma is doing ok but...

Inherent Vice is doing better do i expected..

Horrible drop for Hobbit

[Jandrew]

Selma should have some legs, but for a pic about MLK, who is the Peyton Manning of Civil Rights, $11-14M is a disappointing. There's no way American Sniper is going that low and buzz seems higher: it's crazy to think a movie about a soldier named Chris Kyle will likely outgross the storied MLK. But hey that's BO.

Good for Taken.

[Aplandg]

Good for Taken! About what I expected (35m OW). Selma I expected $18-22m and BotFA I expected around $11m. Hopefully daily's go up for Selma and BotFA!

LOL wtf?

[4815162342]

Remember, it's not even 4 PM on the west coast.

So absurdly early numbers.

[DAJK]

Great for Taken! But I am disappointed in Selma however; I hope it will pick up significantly over MLK weekend.

[4815162342]

LOL wtf?

I agree, he's more of a Joe Montana.

[mahnamahna]

Well hopefully Selma turns out like this:

 

$5 million Friday

$7.5 million Saturday

$5 million Sunday

$17.5 million 3-day ($20 million) 

 

Adds 400-800 theaters next weekend due to Oscar buzz + MLK weekend connection. 

 

$22 million 3 day/$31 million 4 day ($60 million)

$17.5 million ($86 million) 

$14 million ($107 million) 

$11.5 million ($124 million) 

$11 million/$13 million ($142 million) 

$9.5 million ($154 million) 

$7 million ($165 million) 

$5 million ($173 million) 

$3 million ($178 million) 

$1.5 million ($180 million) 

$184 million DOM total

 

Not likely, but I just find it sad Selma could do $25-30 million over the 3-day. It seemed to be in prime position.

About what I expected for Taken.

 

Disappointing for Selma if it holds.

LOL That's more like it.

 

If only civil rights was a sport.

[Jonwo]

Wonder if Taken 3 will crack $100m, it has competition from American Sniper and Blackhat next week plus WOM is not going to be good. 

[ecstasy]

Selma looks meh to be honest.

[Frozen]

I'm shocked Taken 3 is even going that high since all the reviews are so terrible. Currently 9% on RT.

[tonytr87]

I'm not one to disagree with those who say there aren't enough good movies about the African American experience in America, but shit like this is why. Maybe if all of those "urban" demographics went to see movies like Selma instead of Ride Along, things would be a little different. 

 

On the other hand, Selma really should have received a bigger marketing effort. It's silly that the mediocre Unbroken got a bigger push than this, and look...Unbroken's doing well. 

[tonytr87]

Selma looks meh to be honest.

 

You're meh.
