Say what you want about DOR, but the guy has a way with actors for sure.

 

I think he's truly become a changed man in the last few years. He was on The Daily Show last year talking about how he used his hiatus after I Heart Huckabees to get his personal demons resolved.

That includes the number from the limited release.

30.5m Fri

34.7m Sat

25.0m Sun (-28%)

 

That sunday drop is way to low!

Its too early to say that this hits 1B WW.

I say 620mln WW for AS

 

 I was talking only for the DOM side

[Asyulus]

I would rather go for BOM, they provide the most accurate data ever.

SELMA took in an estimated $8.3M over the 3-day weekend. Domestic total stands at $25.96M. #Selma

While I agree we are also talking about a film that has bucked norms all weekend so I wouldn't be obstinate about it.

TAKEN 3 took in an estimated $14.05M over the 3-day weekend. Domestic total stands at $62.84M. #Taken3

90M 3-Day & over 100M 4-Day is such a fantastic surprising opening! Nobody saw this coming at all.

[narniadis]

Yuck

[Lordmandeep]

Based on this the floor for American Sniper is 260 million and 300 million looks likely. 

[Frozen]

Wow that Taken number is bad!

I don't know. Sell outs could end up with a spillover effect and I don't think football is going to deter everyone. A lot of people might go see AS before the games start. Also tomorrow is a holiday so this Sunday automatically has that going for it. 28% seems reasonable, even if a bit too optimistic.

Clint Eastwood is 84 and just opened a movie with $90M+--what will you do when you "retire?"

The fact that Sniper opens at the same level as the big mid hits of 2014 is astounding. Most surprising thing for me to follow since Shrek 2 (wasn't following at Passion).
