Wow +10mill from 25mill friday gross!

all gloves are off!

Comparing this to comic book movies is off!

We dont know how it will perform on sunday!

We might be saying 40%drops but if it drops 20-30% dont act surprised!

The merica crowd,faith based are staning for it big time

It has also broken out to other groups of people!

Its definately a four quadrant film, so sundays drop "might" be soft

 

Its an R-Rated film so it cant be four quadrant

AS Sat 35m

I can't imagine many kids and teens even want to see it anyways. It's gotta be a very older skewing film. Which makes its performance even more impressive.

AS Sat 35m

Holy shit!!!!

That is F'N huge!!!!

Says who?

 

You just have to be 17 to buy a ticket for yourself, which would put you squarely in the under 18 demo.

I'm sure there are a number of dads taking their boys to the film.. Same thing happened for the Passion. Not saying it's right, but it does happen.

Awesome.

 

38.9% jump from Friday (w/o 5.3M previews).  It could fall 35% today and another 35% tomorrow and still get comfortably over 100M, I think 105M might be a good target right now.  Imagine if this sprouts PB legs and pulls a 4x multiplier.

Is it too soon to consider the words "Forrest" and "Gump"?

[Donald]

No,it isn't too soon!

Frozen unadjusted, Lion King adjusted. This may shatter both.

Toy Story 2 had a $91m adjusted Thanksgiving Fri-Sun after going wide. That's more than Lion King adjusted, does it count?

So the only Best Picture nominee in history to have a bigger opening weekend than American Sniper is Toy Story 3.

The academy is probably regretting their decision now, they cant be seen liking too many mainstream movies.

I don't remember the last time I've seen a film open to more than 30M on friday and increase on Saturday. Absolutely INCREDIBLE for AS!

[DAJK]

So if Lone Survivor was "the black hawk down" of this decade", would American Sniper be the Saving private Ryan?

[La Binoche]

Gump did nearly $700M adjusted. Sniper's #s are crazy but let's not get carried away.
