[superduperm]

Wed

MM2 9.8,TG 9,IO 7.5,JP4 6.3,Ted2 3

without Tues MM2 same IO, TG just above JP4 (Which is what TG wed OD was in AUS Slightly up on JP4 Wed)

That's... Umm...

Yeah I don't think TG is going to reach $100M...

[Gopher]

IO/JW are just doing out of this world business. IO is down less than 20% from last Wednesday, JW less than 35%.

Terminator's a bomb. No way around it. Mike is probably a disappointment but still a moneymaker in theaters.

Inside Out is taking the #1 spot this weekend. Ha @ TG, but I think we all saw it coming.

Tomorrow IO/JW will be 1 and 2 for sure. IO is lock to win this weekend.

[Tubes]

This leads to both MM and TG having an under $30 million weekend/$45 5 day.

 

When was the last time a new Independence Day slate opened so low?

[superduperm]

In July 1991, Terminator 2 opened on a Wednesday and had $2.4M in previews the day before and earned $9.2M on Wednesday business.

Now, 24 years later, with 3D and IMAX, TG fails to match the preview number of T2. And assuming Rth's number holds, TG's OD including previews is even less than T2's excluding previews.

That's historic levels of bad there. This is sad to watch.

I would say both MM and TG would struggle towards 20m wèekend.

[TLK]

This also means that Minions will open to over $100 million next weekend.

Really terrible for terminator. And also quite bad for magic mike; pretty much the same erosion as sex and the city 2, so I can certainly see it missing $70M.

[picores]

Well, Genisys looked shit since day 1. The last two movies failed at the box office. Seriously there were people who thought this would do well? Arnie isnt relevant since last century and we have Jay Courtnei playing Kyle Reese. This was a flop since pre-production.

[DeeCee]

Would the last one to leave the theatre please turn out to lights on the Terminator franchise?

Roughly:

 

T2 w/preview: 2.77 million tickets

T3 w/preview: 2.73 million tickets

TS w/midnight: 1.8 million tickets

TG w/preview: 1.1 million tickets

IO's starting to make more money than Toy Story 3. Is 400M possible now?

I hope Minions doesn't kill IO's legs.

LOL it was the numbers I expected after the early report came out. Along with hearing some of the low crowd reports from some people who seen it tonight. I still think it increases over the next two days by a good amount and has a chance to reach 50 million still. But I could just be a idiot who's to hopeful...

Fun fact: If TG misses $100 million (and I'm probably being generous), it would have sold less tickets than the first Terminator did.

 

Let that sink in for a second.

[John Marston]

that number is lower than The Lone Ranger's opening day. What is worse is that The Lone Ranger didn't have 3D. What's also worse is the Lone Ranger's Thursday was the 4th which means it increased while TG is guaranteed a decrease tomorrow.

TG did 6.7m wednesday and will drop to 5m tomorrow. No way its hitting 50m. Lucky to hit 35m now.

It will decrease it's 9 million number. But I feel it will increase on actual Wednesday number and do over 7-8 million. The key will be how big of a increase it get's Friday. If the increase goes up to 13 million Friday, It has a solid shot at 50 million five day still.
