Krissykins Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 With the marketing, anything less than $100m for Minions would be a disappointment. So Universal had NO $100m openers before 2015 and now they've had 3??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATCH-2D2 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Public Enemies had a 2.5m Thu and a 13.7m weekend. TG probably looking at 12.5m weekend. If it does 'only' 12.5m, 100m won't happen. It's going to lose a lot of theatres in the up coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genisys is pacing behind Lone Ranger, which did $89M. Lone Ranger did $11.5M for it's second weekend but was at $71M after said weekend.

CJohn Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 T5's chances at 100M are dead since the OD. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Probably looking at 130m ow with this previews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not be shocked to see it barely scrape $10m. A 60-65% 2nd weekend drop will not surprise me on Genisys.

WrathOfHan Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) For comparison, Unfriended earned 656K from previews but it was in the Spring. It's decent for The Gallows, but WOM will make or break it. Edited July 10, 2015 by WrathOfHan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenstate5 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 DM2 was on a Tuesday rather than Thursday, I think. I wonder if that affected things back then. Regardless the number is huge and is proof that, at least this weekend, this is DM3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 DM2 was on a Tuesday rather than Thursday, I think. I wonder if that affected things back then. Regardless the number is huge and is proof that, at least this weekend, this is DM3. The average of DM2's 3-day and 5-day opening is $113m, which is 24 times bigger than its preview opening of $4.7m. If Minions is able to match that, it would hit $149m. I think it will be more frontloaded and end up in the neighborhood of $130m, but something bigger than that is not off the table at all.

goldenstate5 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I think it'll soften just a bit on Sunday, and wind up at $140 actually. I'm anxious to see how it does next weekend against Ant Man. We could see some counterprogramming fireworks on the level of JW/IO... if Ant Man is successful, maybe it'll join partners with Minions and basically flatten Pixels and Paper Towns.

Paper Towns is targeting the one demo which hasn't had any movie specifically targeted to them since Pitch Perfect 2, it will open to around 40M or more IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superduperm Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 That preview number makes me a bit nervous... The way I see it, DM2 had a $35M OD from $4.7M in previews. The same ratio for Minions gives it about a $46M OD, which would probably only lead to $115M-120M OW... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I am thinking 100m OW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a spinoff, which makes that number solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
