Holy shit, that's terrible for Ant-Man. Hopefully it doesn't drop too bad today.

[La Binoche]

Can someone tell that dude his icon makes him look like a rapist.

Not just any rapist. A rapist of children. His b.o. analysis is always a mess, too.

It'll have an effect, but 1B isn't out of the question. I don't think it's outgrossing DM2 though.

you mean domestically?

[BoxOfficeZ]

I guess we needed a bad weekend to balance out the awesome weekends we've had.

DOM and OS.

Horrible number

[Ash Skywalker]

It will end up around high 50's

@BoxOffice: ANT-MAN earned an official estimate of $22.644M on opening day Friday. #AntMan

 

Headed to about $55-57m for the weekend.

Minions is gonna do fine, much as we dislike the movie. $75 million production budget (I assume this is after the French tax credits?), same as DM2.

(Though interesting thought: With the exchange rate drop, I wonder if it cost more in Euros than DM2 did? Or would that difference be inconsequential?)

16.2M Friday-only take for Ant-Man. Looking at a mid-50s opening.

[Asyulus]

No matter what happens to Minions, it will still make over $1b WW.

[WrathOfHan]

AM's opening day was only 1M ahead of TIH's.

[The Futurist]

Your usual top tier VFX houses worked on FF so I am  not sure about what you are referring to.

Hah true. But only this weekend or its gonna be weekends?!

[MinaTakla]

DOM and OS.

If it doesn't outgross DM2 both DOM and OS, then this means there's no chance for a billion.

I think with the current OS pace, it will outgross it OS and stay behind DOM for around 20-25 million for a total of perhaps 1.05 billion or so.

[Asyulus]

Quite underwhelming for Ant-Man, might not do $60m OW.

[Kalderic]

yikes. Im not going to slap the panic button or anything, but that number sure isnt pretty.

[redfirebird2008]

$60m is dead. This is a best case scenario:

 

Thur - $6.4m

Fri - $16.2m

Sat - $19.5m (+20.4%)

Sun - $16.6m (-15%)

 

Weekend = $58.7m

 

Like I said, that's a best case scenario. More likely a couple million lower than that.

Ant Man Bombed, fire Kevin Feige
