Had they played the film on a greater number of screens — in the 2,500 to 3,000 range — they would have ended up with a nice Thursday preview in the millions of dollars. But they didn’t. So the if-they-had scenarios ($2.7M to $3.2M is being tossed around) didn’t happen. Related 'Tomorrowland' Has Bright Future Over 'Pitch Perfect 2', 'Poltergeist' Should Scare Up Some Business -... We were looking at Interstellar ($47.5M for the three-day) as a possible comp, but that one opened to a per screen of $5,400 taking in $1.35M on 249 screens when it debuted on a Wednesday. Big difference? Tomorrowland is clearly more of a kids’ film. So, let’s look at Epic instead. That one took in $9.3M on Friday $9.3M with a 3-day gross of $33.5M and a 4-day take of $42.6M when it opened in May of 2013. We expect Tomorrowland to end the weekend above $50M as they are off to a solid start with this nicely done film and the only true family film out there right now.

Gopher Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 If it follows Godzilla jumps it'll do 31m 4-day. With Star Trek Into Darkness jumps it does 35m 4-day. Looking towards the latter, definitely (Trek's weekday drops, while harsher, are more comparable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LexJoker Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 AOU with 2.4M is about the same hold as Wednesday.. Pretty good for all the lackluster crap comments it's received for the last 3 weeks.. If you read World of KJ, They've pretty well have written the movie off.. Never thought a movie that's made 1 Billion Dollars WW would be deemed lackluster, but whatever.. That's Retard Logic 101 for ya.. Still 8-10% above IM3 as it has done since OW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Did the new releases have late-night shows? Poltergeist did at 8pm in 2D and 3D. Tomorrowland had 7pm and 10pm shows in IMAX and other large format screens, but regular shows started at 12:01am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Its retarded that a lackluster movie make 1b I would rather pay for a dozen other movies at the theater than watch this POS at home for free I think people feel that way about more than half of the 21 films to earn $1B+ WW. On another note, is Ultron expected to pass Iron Man Three WW over the extended holiday weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it 3 times so far and enjoyed it a little more each time. Everyone I know who liked the first at least found this one tolerable, if a bit disappointing. Did Joss kick your dog or something? Will be interesting to see if it can eventually sneak by Furious 7 WW... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AoU looks like it'll end up with $1.4-1.45 billion WW, which won't be enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AOU might not even reach the 1.4 mark WW. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked it and I still wouldn't pay to see it more than once. I probably like it more than both of you, but even I have to say that it's not as rewatchable as say the first Avengers or GOTG.
