Wednesday Numbers | Official Estimates: Magic Mike XXL - 9.3M; Terminator: Genisys - 8.9M

[Gopher]

I'm sure Paramount is thrilled their opening day paralleled The Lone Ranger's.

I wonder if Inside Out will win Wednesday proper (without MMXXL/TG previews).

[MovieMan89]

Um not for MM.

The first opened to twice as much. Granted that was a Friday not a Wednesday, but I still expected a solid 15m OD for it today. Unless it is going to not drop off after OD like the first did.

[CJohn]

This is horrible.

[GiantCALBears]

I'll wait for RTH.

In denial apparently, it bombed & the franchise is dead. Sorry man.

[Biggestgeekever]

well it might..

7.9 (wed.)

7.2 (thur.)

11 (+52% fri.)

7.6 (-31% sat.)

8.8 (+16% sun.)

3 days: 27.5 weekend

But it's increasing on Thursday. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/?sortdate=2009-07-02&p=.htm Only the openers dropped last time the 4th on Sat, so I don't see any way IO will miss $30M. It's probably the only lock this weekend.

[MovieMan89]

IO and JW are absolutely taking the top two again this weekend. I just hope JW can manage to fourpeat. IO needs to hit 300 without ever going #1.

Variety.com is reporting $9.5-10m for both openers.

 

That was posted at 715EST.  That's way too early for a realistic estimate imo.

 

Here's the link btw.

ah this is good news, that slipped from me;) so 30m is in play for JW and IO.. good

Because it's older fan base aren't going to see it on a Tuesday or Wednesday night. Most people are still working today. Friday is going to be TG biggest day this weekend. My local theater was dead this afternoon for every movie besides Inside Out.

 

But when you aim for the PG-13 rating with the purpose of bringing in a new younger generation of fans only to fail at bringing them in at acceptable levels, you've got problems.

 

On top of that, the older crowd is more likely to be weary of being burned by subpar installments to one of their favorite franchises growing up.

I wonder when the top 2 have last remained static for 3 weekends in a row in the summer?

[Cmasterclay]

It's 8:50 EST on a weekday. People just got home from work two hours ago. Let's wait and see in a couple of hours what RTH has to say.

When you think it's not over, it's not over, it's not over.

Dear god was it got outside! But seriously, mark my words, Minions is going to be HUGE!

Meh for both movies. Kind of what I was expecting for Terminator but I thought MM would do a lot better. Oh well.

[Ethan Hunt]

Of it acts like Dark of the Moon it'll get to 43M for the 5-day

You can't use different years though.  You have to take a sample from 2009.

Uh..........ok.

Time for me to get the papers get the papers.

Oh... Yeah because of the day holiday falls in.

RotF gets it to 32M (it should probably do a little better than that I think but probably not much)

A disappointment yes but bad or flop it is not. Now if the budget was 50 mil I would be singing your tune.
