Weekend Actuals 7/3-7/5: Inside Out 29.77M, JW 29.24M, Genisys 27.02M. Greek Wedding's record survives

[TServo2049]

That incorrect "estimate" from Sunday morning rears its ugly head again.

In other news - a drive-in in Texas was the 5th biggest engagement for the weekend? Holy shit, I've never heard of this place! Must have had a hell of a turnout. I'd love to see a picture of how many cars had to be there for them to place so high, even on a weak weekend like this.

I guess they're right, everything IS bigger in Texas...

I AM FUCKING DONE.

 

THIS IS WHY MAGIC MIKE XXL WAS MADE?!

Well, Minions does play well with older women, so...

lol @ that JW estimate

[The Dark Alfred]

Awesome for IO, saving the #1 Pixar streak. It will drop from JW next week but the week after it could be close again between the two, JW will be in significantly less theater.

How has he not been fired yet? Every time I think he's reached a new low, he just keeps digging.

Because he's the editor of IMDB

[redfirebird2008]

Because he's the editor of IMDB

 

Which is even funnier to think about.

[JohnnY]

I didn't want IO to beat JW just because it would be a weirdly interesting thing to gross 300m+ without ever being #1

 

 

my dream is over

Probably because it's not likely his main job. It seems that he was dragged in to cover for things until they hire a replacement. The hiring notice is still up on Amazon, after all.

I'm not sure if this was answered before or not, but are the top theaters rth posted based on gross or ticket sales?

Gross

[Tubes]

Gross

 

That explains why AMC Empire is almost always on top.

 

I bet if a movie opened there and nowhere else, that cinema's sellouts could propel it into the top 10.

[passerby]

Late to the party, but Woo! Go inside out!

[Wrath]

Probably JP4. In addition to the fact Minion is targeting more of IO's audience than JP4's audience, JP4 will also benefit from drive-in double features with Minions since they are owned by the same movie studio. There's also the usual fudge factor for all studio holdovers when a huge movie opens. So JP4 will benefit from that (as will Ted 2).

You lnow, it totally seems like Minions would compete more directly with IO, but JP4 has been the one whose weekend BO swings more like a family film. I bet IO isnt hurt much worse than JP4.

[baumer]

So T:G dropped from estimates...the bad news keeps coming.

I'm very, very curious about the 2nd weekend drop...65% anyone??

 

If it drops more than 45% I'll be shocked.

[Tubes]

I don't expect IO or JP4 to really be hurt that much by Minions, but we will see a lot of smaller films lose theaters and tank as a result.

 

Max is going to be hit the biggest of the family films and R rated fare like Spy, Ted 2, and Magic Mike are going to suffer with the older crowd either going towards Minions or the two big holdovers.

[redfirebird2008]

It's the middle of summer, so the weekend family bump isn't as much of an issue. With JP4 it's simply the fact that adults are not off work during the week so they wait for the weekend to watch it.

 

JP4 should benefit from Minions given the fact they are from the same studio. Holdovers from the same studio are always fudged for big openers, plus it's likely Universal will put the two together for drive-in shows.

Yeah that sounds like wishful thinking from someone rooting against it. TG has shown no signs of potentially having big drops. I'm hoping for 4.5 million today, 5 million Tuesday, 4 Million Wednesday and 3.8 million Thursday. With it doing around 14 million weekend as well. That would put the movie at around 74 million after it's second weekend.
