TRAINWRECK earned a solid $1.8 million in Thursday shows. #TrainWreck #BoxOffice

Yeah I agree that it is a decent, solid number.  So it helps confirm to me that it should do a pretty good weekend amount

[WrathOfHan]

For comparison, Spy earned 1.5M.

[Hatebox]

Yup, it's breaking out. I hate Apatow but the guy makes comedies people like to see (most of the time).

Half of Guardians sounds about right for Ant-Man...

[WrathOfHan]

This is what I'm expecting for Ant-Man:

 

Friday: 30M 

Saturday: 24M

Sunday: 19M

 

73M weekend with Saturday basically the same as Friday without previews. 

[CJohn]

30M is happening for Trainwreck.

[AniNate]

I read that as 18 m for a moment

[fmpro]

Still no Ant-Man number?

[Asyulus]

Ant-Man previews?

[Empire]

That is a really good # for Trainwreck! Would love to see it finish with a higher OW than Spy's OW.

Do you recall that number?

GOTG was like 11m right for preview numbers?

 

So 5.5m?

 

EDIT: GOTG was 11.2m according to BOM http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=3882&p=.htm

Half sounds overly optimistic then. 

If Ant-Man comes in with $3-4m for Previews I'll be pleased.

After This is 40,  Apatow needed a film to redeem himself and looks like he succeeded with Trainwreck.

I can't believe anyone is going to see Ant-Man to be perfectly honest.

[goldenstate5]

Haha I wasn't expecting Trainwreck numbers to be reported first. Hoping for 7 mil for Ant Man, but I know its going to be less.

 

Another success story for Universal, though, albiet just a bit milder this time. And again, neck-and-neck with Disney. Sheesh, you two, get a room!

It's not looking that bad, but I am not rushing out to see it either.  I had a chance to see it last night, but I passed so I can see it for free this weekend

[WrathOfHan]

What's taking Disney so long to release Ant-Man's numbers? Before or after 11 AM?

[goldenstate5]

It's way better than Ultron, that's for damn sure.
