[JennaJ]

Dat Chris Hemsworth non-Marvel-movie flop effect...

 

I wonder how In the Heart of the Sea is gonna do.

Exodus numbers at best

[Maxmoser3]

Really Vacation should open with at least 5.5 million today, and take a decline tomorrow but then maybe light up on Friday with about 6 million and debut with between 16-18 million for the 3-day and then do about at least 25 million for the 5-day. Then end it's run with 70 million domestic.

I think it'll be a bit higher. 28 mil for the 5-day, but I forsee this having stronger legs due to it being the last major comedy for the summer and having decent WOM. Probably end with 95 to 100 mil.

I would love to see 100 million.

[goldenstate5]

I just saw it, the audience LOVED it. I didn't necessarily agree, but yeah I can see this being a "We're the Millers"-esque run.

[DAJK]

Darn, was hoping for some numbers by now oh well I shouldn't get greedy.

[BenedictL11]

Based on WTM's comparison, I'd say $4.5-5M Wednesday. RTH & Gopher, does that sound reasonable?

Pretty bad for Vacation, and 30% drops for Ant-Man, Minions and Pixels. Assuming a 10% drop tomorrow (thanks to Rogue Nation previews), Ant-Man and Minions are both headed to around 13-13.5M for the weekend with normal Friday, Saturday and Sunday increases and drops. Pixels will be lucky to get to 10-11M.

 

Vacation has a lower Wednesday compared to Let's Be Cops. That is a shockingly bad performance.

[Ryan Reynolds]

seems  like the perfect time for Rogue Nation to break out, unless boxoffice is in a rut again

[FilmBuff]

Lol bombs away for vacation. Die in a fire.

[DAJK]

The more I think about Pixels the worse it is, but also the more fondly I remember it. Does that make any sense?

And I saw Ant-Man again. God that movie is fun!

[Maxmoser3]

That's terrible for Vacation, at least Trainwreck is doing well

Totally makes sense.

I've had a drink or two tonight. But still...makes sense.

Could you please edit the quote to a more read-/screen-friendly presentation?

The only good thing about the success of Trainwreck is the exposure it's giving Brie Larson.
