TOMORROWLAND earned an estimated $9.737M on opening day Friday. #

 

Owwwwwww

[sfran43]

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON earned an estimated $5.356M on Friday. Domestic total is now $388.53M.

[MrPink]

Pretty much, yeah. I predicted this on Wednesday

 

So a 130-135 million finish seems on the cards. Was hoping it could make it to 150, but barring a big Saturday jump, we can probably rule that out. Still good all in all considering we weren't sure on 100 million a month ago.

Pretty underwhelming for Tomorrowland, but expected as there was no real buzz for the movie and the reviews are average at best.

Was also hoping for more for Mad Max but since it's an adult audience you always get good weekdays and lower increases on Fri/Sat so also expected I guess.

Well I'm glad your comment generated 10 likes, but like it or not, what I said was true.. Don't like it, don't agree with it?? Too fucking bad.. I call it like I see it And saying AOU had boring action means you didn't pay attention to the movie apparently... I guarantee if RDJ died tomorrow while making CIVIL WAR or IW, The movie would generate the same amount of publicity F7 achieved from Walkers death, so put that in your pipe and smoke it..

lol I was just messing with you man.

FTF U really need to post more. Love ya buddy.

Noooo I wanted this to stay above 7

60% Fri-Fri drop is not a good sign

Am I missing something? Fri-Fri drop isn't a good barometer for success is it? The first Friday will always include those preview numbers which is always going to make the drop 60%+.

It's not the most meaningful metric, but the drops also not out of the ordinary which I was expecting after the weekday #s.

Without previews it's about a 48% drop

(1661-370-670)/(1661-370)=0.481

-48.1%

Is it likely that Avengers pulls ahead of Max this weekend with those numbers?

[Travod]

...

Well this weekend is shit.

[sfran43]

Is it likely that Avengers pulls ahead of Max this weekend with those numbers?

Oooh..I hope not. But with only a $1M+ separation between the two, it's possible.

[grim22]

Most boring Memorial Day weekend in a long time by the looks of it. At least next year we will have Apocalypse breaking franchise records and Alice bombing on a large scale to look forward to.

[Maxmoser3]

Really Tomorrowland you can't blame star power or anything like that the marketing just sucked. Example:the Super Bowl AD was terrible and just showed flashy special effects and George Clooney's voice nothing really exciting or special. But anyway I think if Tomorrowland drops fast I'm suspecting a gross around 85 million, and if it holds ok 95 million, and then if it does better then it will leg it's way to 100

[TalismanRing]

Is it likely that Avengers pulls ahead of Max this weekend with those numbers?

 

Possible if AOU has another 70%+ Sat jump and Max is around 25-30%.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Crap weekend. Thinking Pitches come out on top. Thinking Ultron bumps Max to 5th.

[Ethan Hunt]

Not looking like a good weekend for my BSG.

[Avatree]

Poltergeist really got overestimated.

[grim22]

Tomorrowland's OD is lower than John Carter's OD. Finding Nemo > Incredibles proven.

[Durden]
