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

How did it make the GA feel sophisticated? It's a disaster, techno-thriller in space.

It wasn't the typical blockbuster.

It only starred two people and it centered on astronauts stuck in black space.

Just out of Inside Out

Pretty sure the five year olds behind were wondering why there was a 16 year old kid sobbing Matthew Mcconaughey style for the last 20 minutes of the movie

TG officially has a lower opening day than Terminator 2 in 1991.

And that's when you exclude T2's previews and include TG's previews...

[GiantCALBears]

8.9M is hilarious. It means in Wednesday it did just 6.6M lmao.

Baum is heartbroken Arnie is terminated.

[ddddeeee]

I watched Gravity on Blu-Ray last week and still love it.

Inside Out beating MMXL and TS on their opening days is one of the biggest surprises of the season. Wouldn't have called that even a few days ago.

Nobody would've called it before IO's OW. That's for sure.

[superduperm]

If estimates hold, over 25% of TG's Wednesday gross was in Tuesday night previews. That's pretty front loaded if you ask me...

Who is gonna start the WWW thread for T5?

Who is gonna start the WWW thread for T5?

 

What's the point?  lol

 

But seriously, I think we should wait until the end of the weekend.

Wait until Sunday.

[Hatebox]

That's it for the Terminator franchise, surely. Two strikes and you're out.

There are have been so many iterations of this concept that people have grown bored now.

 

Hilariously though, Days of Future Past, the story that inspired Terminator in the first place, was a smash last year.

He made so much money, I don't think anyone should feel sorry for him.  He was given a private jet as payment for a movie once.

 

Check this out for T3:

This literally could be the end of the Terminator franchise. I just don't see them making any more. Even if Cameron gets the rights back he will be too busy with Avatar sequels. This is probably a good thing though.

@ERCboxoffice

TERMINATOR: GENISYS topped out at $8.9M its 1st day of release--not exactly the fireworks show Paramount was expecting...

That sounds like you loved the movie.

He has more money than any of us could ever spend. Don't feel sorry for him.

More like 3 Strikes and ur out I guess you can count Terminator 3 as a Strike if you want.
