[Ozymandias]

So how much bigger than usual will Friday's jumps be?

[fmpro]

What kind of increases should we expect on friday?

[keysersoze123]

I would say 50%.

[Fancyarcher]

TG held well. Mm2 is showing signs of frontloading. OK for IO and good for JW.

 

That's better then okay for IO, that's great.

Great for both but even better for JW as it got the highest increase.

Still, Inside Out has a better chance of taking the top spot at the box office this weekend now.

Not surprising as JW is already at its 4th weekend. Will be phenomenal if it manages to take top spot again, though.

I'd love to see IO take down MBGW's record, however I wouldn't mind it being #1 this weekend either. It deserves all the money it gets. 

 

Been a long while since we've seen the top two threepeat.

Hey E, one question about your charts. What happened to Days of Futures Past? It was on for a while and then dropped off, which is odd considering it kept pace fairly well with X-3

 

Hey narniadis good observation, it was falling further behind in the charts and I wanted to keep the list shorter as other movies were rapidly gaining on it and in some cases surpassing it so I removed that movie. 

 

If I extended the list here is where it would place:

 

60)  X-Men 3: The Last Stand - $206,959,236 (Wed - $1,511,075) 

61) Meet The Fockers - $206,149,545 (Mon - $1,851,675)

62) Inception - $205,513,834 (Wed - $3,788,206)

63) Finding Nemo - $203,263,253 (Wed - $4,229,562)

64) Independence Day - $201,680,625 (Mon - $2,676,256)

65) Up - $198,836,362 (Wed - $3,816,612)

66) Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides - $196,004,120 (Wed - $1,853,066)

67) X-Men:  Days of Future Past - $195,050,480 (Wed - $1,707,464)

68) Star Trek (2009) - $194,828,380 (Wed - $1,801,099)

I think JW takes this, its very extremely supersonicly leggy.

[franfar]

Well, maybe they shouldn't have sold out to PG-13, TWICE! You would have thought the makers of this would have learned their lesson after similar backlash Salvation received, but no. Also the backlash against Robocop and Expendables 3, leading to both of those failing, those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.

Maybe direct your anger at who ever had the idea to make it PG13.

It's not the reviewer's/box office analyst's fault. Blame the general audience for not seeing the movie. They don't care about reviews when it comes to movies

[RaidensSword]

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. The Terminator movies have done huge money in Japan and South Korea as well.

I still don't get where this confidence that China is going to just embrace terminator and make it a huge hit comes from. Escape Plan and EX3 and Sabotage are the only examples we have to go on of Arnolds drawing power there since his come back and none of them set the box office alight.

T-Rex has some nice legs for being 25 years old or so.

Plus it doesn't even have a release date yet, and won't be released there until at least mid August.

If it flops everywhere else, who knows what platform China will give it.

[misafeco]

A lot of people are off work Friday, so a lot more people may be seeing it tonight. Yesterday it did 6.6 million, I could see a increase to over 7 million today. Yes it won't increase over it's 8.9 million number though.

Well, it decreased from Wed, i was right.

[dudalb]

Magic Mike is in good shape because of it's modest budget,but TG is in big trouble with it's 170 Million price tag.

[franfar]

Poor Arnold. I feel sorry for him tbh.

He's worth $300 million. I'm sure he'll be fine

[Maxmoser3]

Magic Mike:XXL is this years Horrible Bosses 2.

[Asyulus]

Magic Mike:XXL is this years Horrible Bosses 2.

I think Magic Mike XXL will be in $100-110m WW territory.

[Maxmoser3]

WB isn't upset about it because of it's budget and with prints and advertising it's probably less than 45-50 million.
