[VictorHugogui]

Terrible start for Chappie  and UB

The Second best is doing fine for OW

Kingsman come closer 100M.. sweet and should be crack before next weekend

[Krissykins]

Terrible weekend! Awful Friday no movie making over $5m!

Nice Friday bump for Lazarus Effect. Weekend will be $1.5m more than I expected. Guess there's nothing to see.

[CJohn]

Focus might beat it. Awful for Chappie. LOL worthy for UB.

[kitik]

Terrible weekend!

 

Double flop for Chappie and Unfinished Busness.

 

Hurry up and save us, Avengers

We have a new number one film for 2014.

[Jonwo]

Considering that TSBEMH was only in half the theaters of the other new entries, it did very well.

This will be the first time since 2008 when the top two films of the year are both 2D films. Could also be the last time.

[terrestrial]

3). The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (FSL), 1,573 theaters  / $2.78M Fri./ 3-Day: $9.4M/Wk 1

*includes Thursday night previews

 

Do you happen to know if that one even got Thursday previews? If yes and someone finds out the BO for that I'd like to add it to my first post

[narniadis]

American sniper is going to come so close to a 4x :/ shame that it will miss just hoping it has enough juice to leg it to 350.

Other numbers - well besides Marigold everything else sucks new movie wise and Kingsmen is awesome.

[bapi]

Ya know, you guys wouldnt be going on and on about Neil Blumpkincamps "career fall" if yall hadnt put him on such a high pedistal to begin with, after 1 movie.

Yeah. Blomkamp, Webb, Edwards, Trank, Kosinski... there's a lot of hype but I'm really curious who'll be the first of them to make a really great big-budget movie.

Top 10 just 74.1m, vs 127.5m 2014, 124.6m 2013 and 116m 2012. Pretty bad then.

I liked Kosinski's Oblivion.

Well the good news is the next few weekends should be better
