 RE: Ant-Man

...... but they had to be hoping for more[$60m-ish OW].

Short of a statement from Feige or Iger that resembles the Sony studio head calling for TASM2 to be a Billion dollar film, no, absolutely not.

Not for this property. There is nothing to think that they were hoping for more. Nothing to think they might think this is "in-line" or better than hoped.

 

We know the cost, we know the studios track record so from that we, passive observers can at least call $60m-ish pretty good.

So JW looking at 11.5m weekend. Will take it to about 611.3m.

12m away from TA. or like BKB said yesterday...JW will fall short http://forums.boxofficetheory.com/topic/19596-thursday-s-twinkies-94-the-feels-22-featherless-beasts-19-rth-page-3/page-9

Couple hours ago when had a look DL & Gophers numbers seem to be in right range, although had TW mid teens which in line with DL

[baumer]

If minions hits 16 itll do close to 60. Probably 58-59

So TW should be in the 12-15m range so far if everything goes well at night?

[Bishop54]

And 70% for IO.. wouldn't want to put too much faith in either number but I have to satisfy the JW/Pixar hordes.

I leave you guys in Rth's (more capable) hands! I'm probably out the rest of the day.

Thanks Gopher, enjoy your night bud.

Wow

Save what face?

Sorry I mean to be considered great for Marvels standards.

Hmm... 54-55M seems more likely to me

I am thinking 56-57

How do you figure? DM1 and 2 had similar IMs for their second weekend and would give Minions $52M with a $16M. Minions would have a bigger Friday increase than either, but that's probably more correcting for the weak Thursday number than anything.

I just found that interview. Schumer isn't funny at all but Ellen's laugh is hysterical.

 

She used to be funny on Red Eye, but those SW pics were so unfunny and "try hard" it was pathetic

Nope. This is mid-July. IO's second weekend is what it should be looking to beat.

JW showing number 12...and Ant-Man. 

[JennaJ]

 

Disney and Universal are on a double-double date!

[Fanboy]

24-25 million would be very good for Ant-Man. Mid-Teens would be phenomenal for Trainwreck. Where is the Trainwreck over Ant-Man total thread? 

[baumer]

Nope.

Itll jump 50% on Saturday.

Nope. Family movies jump 45-50% at times. This will too on Saturday.
