Guys can JW do 20m+ on its first monday cause me the most phenomenal box office history is the first monday and the first tuesday of TDK can iit reach that?

 

It has a very real chance to beat TDK's Monday and Tuesday grosses. TDK's Monday was one of the great moments on the BOM forums.

I don't think it does TDK mon/tues, but it should/could match the $19m and $18m of TA.

Goddamnit.  I have to work all day and all I want to do is stay here!

Let us know how things go tonight. Good luck, haha.

Yes. Even a 20% Sunday drop (offsetting summer bump with NBA/Game of Thrones) would give it $208.8m. But we've got a long way to go. Curious to see how it can perform today.

My guess similar situation to TA1 where spillover will help Saturday and Sunday grosses. It certainly didn't have the same screen count as TA2.

Inside Out was never gonna open at 100M.

I didn't say that. I think it's tracking to open around 70m. My question was whether a 100m and a 70m movie could coexist in the same weekend.

It's weekends like this that make up for weekends like Labor Day

[BoxOfficeZ]

Holy shit, so it was at the upper end of rth's range. Awesome. This has consistently beaten our expectations. 

 

I'm going to expect 200m OW for now, and maybe a shot at the OW record assuming how saturday holds up. 

[GiantCALBears]

EVERYWHERE.

 

I'm seeing the film on TUESDAY. 

 

No good seats aren't fully booked until Tuesday. It's fucking insane. I have never seen anything like it.

Calm down, TA1 OW had to be as crazy. People quickly forget.

[grey ghost]

A lot can obviously happen here, and with such huge numbers, minute percentages really matter big time.... but I've got it just beating the OW record with $208 million.

 

History is so goddamned weird in the way it repeats itself.

Not a record.

Controversial statement: I find these numbers more awe-inspiring than anything in JURASSIC WORLD.

MU - 85m

WWZ - 65m

MoS - 45m

[BoxOfficeZ]

Even if it just stays flat.

 

83

65

53

 

201m easy.

I'm working all day on one of the side concessions just so we have everything up and running.  Me and my boss will do this from time to time because there just aren't enough kids to go around on these busy days.

 

We did 5700 yesterday in total attendance.  If this thing is as beastly as it appears to be, I can easily see 6500 or so depending on the holdovers, 5,000 from JW alone if it sells out all day.  

[Jandrew]

Welp, after Godzilla and then this, the potential Reptar movie is looking good.

[MrPink]

Just remember, even it it does beat TA1 somehow, there should be an asterisk. It had 5 EXTRA HOURS.

[GiantCALBears]

Adjusted does it sell more tickets than TDK?

TA had a likely higher 3D share.

Ha, that is probably a fair enough comment. I haven't seen it yet but I have a hard time believing it could live up to the legacy of JP1. And make no mistake, this opening is a big testament to how beloved that 22 year old film is. Still though, I have heard enough positive WOM on various forums that I expect a good time with the dinos tomorrow morning.
