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

September will be the only month left without a 50m+ opener...

Hell, September is the only month left without a 80M opener.

 

EDIT: October doesn't have one either.

This one story makes all of 2014 box office look like shit.

Over the 4 day OW it is gonna beat every 2014 opener except THG3

October too.

October still hasn't got one.

Could AS pass Passion of the Christ for biggest winter opener?

But that is 4 days against 3. But with good legs this should pass most of those 90M+ openers (if not all with crazy good legs).

[Jake Gittes]

It should with that Saturday.

How many hours until some studio moves a big blockbuster to the MLK weekend of 2016 and/or 2017?

It supposedly shouldn't have touch them with the 4 day total

I thought Warner's 2015 will be awful without any franchises, but damn, what a start!

it"ll be curious to see what they"ll expect with Jupiter Ascending and Focus next month and Get Hard in March and then the summer slate

I'm pretty sure MI5 and Assassin's Creed will both move there by next Friday  seriously I've been saying some mid-level tentpoles like those should be released outside of summer or the holiday season for a while. Only took a $90 million 3-day by American Sniper to wake them up! 

 

American Sniper possibly grossing $350 million+ is insane...

I don't know about JA and Focus, but Get Hard will be another huge hit. Thinking 150M+. 

[rukaio101]

Huh. Looks like I picked an interesting week to start following these threads.

 

I also picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue, but that's beside the point.

I hope M:I 5 doesn't move. I want to face SW head on and destroy it...

No one interrupt this wonderful daydream.

That is a big amount of bombs in a row for WB. It would have been even worse if In The Heart of the Sea was still in there

 

I guess Get Hard should do solid numbers. The Neeson movie should do ok numbers as well (it won't touch Non-Stop, but Unknown numbers are likely).

Man, wow, Fifty Shades not breaking out like crazy, MI5 destroying SW... you need to wake up

Whew I'm glad you clarified that first sentence, lol.

I suspect the Neeson movie to make between The Grey and Unknown just at least better A Walk Among The Tombstones domestic total

[Noctis]

It would be incredible if American Sniper became the highest grossing 2014 film release.
