Weekend Estimates: Ant-Man 58.04 | Minions 50.24 | Trainwreck 30.24 | IO 11.66 | JW 11.36 (Page 88)

[TServo2049]

For crying out loud, it's not even the first time a FRANCHISE has been run like this. This has been the M.O. of the Bond series from day one. Albert Broccoli ran that franchise as tightly as Feige does.

Even when an auteur like George Lucas ended up in franchise filmmaking, his ostensible wishes to give other filmmakers free reign to play in his sandbox gave way to him armchair-directing Jedi using a British journeyman as his hired gun, because Empire wasn't the kind of film he wanted.

Gopher and Rth, what was the actual estimate you got for Terminator for yesterday?

 

Mojo says 1.73M, but a few hours later, ShawnMR said the official estimate was 1.453M.

Well, Friday w/o previews was 16M. So anything would be better than that.

 

Wonder if it is still tracking 10% above Wolverine? Ant-Man made 10% more than Wolverine yesterday.

Hmm...

[CJohn]

More curious to see Minions number.

I'm most curious about JW's number, as I have been its entire run...

[Maxmoser3]

I don't think it will make a killing overseas, but I always thought that Ant-man would performed on par with CA:TFA.

thats actually more reasonable.

[Maxmoser3]

I think Friday was affected by all kinds of things from people going out on vacation to cabin fever from all of the rain to bad weather etc.

Down low 50s from last Saturday

So at best, 19.4M

[Bishop54]

Keep in mind, the WC let all films down last night.

[superduperm]

Still early but that doesn't sound good... Most it can do is 50 for the weekend if that keeps up...

 

Also, wow. What a great 45% increase am I right, baumer? XD

Yeah, just looked at our numbers and we should have no problem topping Thursday night + Friday's numbers.

Thursday - 194

Friday - 1092

Total - 1286

Saturday - 996(4 shows left)

But isn't your theater almost always out of whack with the rest of the country?

What if Saturday stayed flat including previews? Is that even possible in 2015?

Shhhhhhhhh.
