Weekend Estimates (4-day): TL 41.7 M | PP II 38.5 M | MM: FR 32.1 M | A:AOU 27.8 M | POLTERGEIST 26.5 M

[Boxofficerules]

Tomorrowland easily led the weekend but this is such a disappointment considering it's high budget and especially when you add prints and advertising costs even if it does good ok overseas it will not help losses for Disney.

Do prints even cost anything anymore? I thought everything was digital? Surely that's a lot cheaper.

[sfran43]

475 mil for it.

AOU will be lucky to make it to $450M, let alone $475M.

[tonytr87]

I dunno, five movies over 20mil is pretty damn good I think. 

[JohnnyGossamer]

IRON MAN III made 42 M more after this weekend. You think A: AOU will make 65 M more?

I think it makes about $50M from here to finish just short of $460M DOM.

So is anyone going to mention how Far From The Madding Crowd had its weekend gross and theater count mixed up?

[Avatree]

Is there a list of Fri/Sat/Sun breakdown for the box office? Since BOM isn't going to update for a while.

I'm thinking 449 M - 454 M, depending on how much JW hurts it.

What Went Wrong?

[Maxmoser3]

Age Of Ultron will benefit from weekdays, possible drive-in double features, and dollar theaters from here on out and make it's way to 455 million domestic to say the least

2,280,000 locations and only $865?

 

Look's like Simanton's running BO.com as well.

Deadline not mincing words at all today

Seriously people, it’s an awful Memorial Day weekend. Rentrak is reporting the FSS total ticket sales at an estimated $151M which ranks 14th on the Memorial Day total weekend charts, that’s behind 2010’s $152M. And that’s when things were really bad: Warner Bros. went out with Sex and the City 2 ($31M) then and Disney had Jerry Bruckheimer’s pricey bomb Prince of Persia ($30.1M). Yes, this is a weekend when there’s foot traffic, however, Hollywood knows better on how to rally Memorial Day weekend: You launch your big guns, big pics — your mega franchise sequels — and nothing less. Don’t try establishing a new brand; it’s just too risky.

Why did Disney choose Memorial Day weekend to launch Tomorrowland? Again, it’s because they believed in it. They saw it as an event film, and that’s where event films bow. However, Memorial Day crowds don’t want to try something new on the menu, they want juicy, read steak franchise sequels.

Part of the conundrum per distrib sources was the marketing for Tomorrowland: Is it for fanboys? Young kids? Pic’s audience was almost split between males and females, 51% to 49%. Families numbered 30% while teens repped 9%. 60% of the crowd was over 25 — meaning, it appears that the George Clooney fans came out, but not the prime demo. Under 18 demo gave the film an A-, so let’s hope they text their friends and tell them to go. Tomorrowland’s $30M-ish bow is right in the sweet spot of where Clooney’s Ocean’s Eleven movies opened.
