4-Day Wknd Est: AS - 105.3M, Pad - 25.2M, TWR - 24.5M,Taken 3 - 17.44M (pg 109)

I'm going to have to take back that post I made to Baumer. I thought AS earned 30m on the weekend.

 

But 30m on Friday alone?

 

Holy fuck. Especially as, by many accounts, the movie's merely ok.

Where do people keep getting 100M from?

 

Most movies still dropped 30%+ on Sunday last year.

If it increases today, then I have no words. That would be an 80m 3-day weekend and will make a run for $250m or more.

How big was #AmericanSniper's FRI? It beat record for all-time biggest daily gross in JAN held by Avatar.

It is going to steamroll everything until Fifty Shades.

As impressive as that might sound... Avatar had been out for 1 month.

100M over 4-day is possible but I see closer to 90M over 4-day. 

[Avatree]

I don't think 100M 4-day will happen, though I won't discount the possibility.

THE WEDDING RINGER earned an estimated $7.0M on Friday. #TheWeddingRinger

Fucking NFL Sunday. Without it 100M would happen on Monday.

[Hatebox]

I wonder how lopsided the domestic/OS ratio for AS will be.

jupiter ascending!

Taken 3 is dead. Not surprised, it is even worse than the 2nd. 

[Fancyarcher]

Good to that Taken 3 had a huge drop this weekend. I don't think I could stand it if Taken 4 ended up happening. Thankfully the chances of that happening are unlikely.

With this OD, it's not impossible that Sniper could end up beating LEGO and becoming Warner's #1 movie of 2014.

 

Which is crazy considering that they refused to finance it unless Bradley Cooper played Chris Kyle himself, which he didn't want to. He thought he was the wrong physical type for the role and he worried about getting the accent right. He said he would have prefered to cast, no joke, Chris Pratt.
