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

[Fancyarcher]

Genisys still easily makes 350 million worldwide as long as it opens in China. I wouldn't be surprised if it's over 150 million worldwide by Monday.

 

Will see. 

[Tubes]

If anything, I expect Genisys to go down once actuals come in and Magic Mike to go up.

[filmscholar]

LOL, Magic Mike is still in the green from the last movie.  This is just more icing on the cake. 

[kitik]

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

 

 

not horrible, but certainly not great either

 

slightly underwhelming for both movies

[Ethan Hunt]

I'm pretty impressed with that Magic Mike number personally

[kitik]

Magic Mike cost a tenth of what Terminator did.

 

I'd be surprised if that's true. Certainly not if you're talking about total costs, including marketing, etc.

 

But responding to your point in general, yeah, Paramount spent a lot of money on what they're hoping is a new Terminator franchise.

the budget was 14 mil self  financed by Tatum and co. WB did the marketing. so they  spend like what extra 5-8 mil? no more than 20 mil im assuming was spend between tatum and wb.

Tatum4President, plz!

[grey ghost]

Ya I think the ending is great, overall I think T3 is a solid big budget scifi action movie.  It got some warts for sure, but I'd take it over all the comic book movies these days.

T3 over movies like Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy?

"Talk to the hand".

[GregBeuke]

That wouldn't be so bad.

Yeah I expect both Magic Mike XXL and Terminator Genisys to have 30 million plus weekends. Both films have older fan-bases and I don't think either film is a MUST SEE for a lot of people. Yes they want to see these films, but they can wait for the weekend. So there not going to rush to the theater to see it on a weekday night when they got to work the next day. I know on SZ and the Schwarzenegger forum a lot of big Arnold and Terminator fans were only going to go see it today or tomorrow. Since it was too hard to go on a Tuesday night yesterday. I'm sure even lesser fan boys will wait until Friday. Not everyone is like me and decided to take there summer work vacation starting the day Terminator Genisys opened lol. While Magic Mike audiences is groups of woman getting together to go see it. That's more likely going to happen Friday night and Sunday afternoon.

There's no way the marketing spend was only 5-8m. That's ridiculously low.

That's like a few weeks of tv spots. Let alone the total marketing cost.

Excuses excuses excuses. Sorry,Terminator just isn't the huge draw you thought it would be. Yes its Friday will pick up but not by much...this has little appeal for the older crowd.

Is it fair to say there won't be a direct TG sequel?

Kevin Smith talked about this. 

Even if your movie cost 5m to make, you still need at least 20m to distribute it and market it in the USA which is a big country with lots of theaters.

Maybe they'll get Arnie back for... oh.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

Is it fair to say there won't be a direct TG sequel?

 

After two underperforming films in a row they will make a deal with Marvel. Oh wait, wrong character.

[theultimatebiu]

Is it fair to say there won't be a direct TG sequel?

Even if OS saved it...I highly doubt it. The 'draw' of bringing back Arnold Schwarzenegger will not work second time so it will drop in box office total.
