Official Weekend Estimates: Maze Runner - 30.3M | Black Mass - 23.4M | Everest - 7.5M | The Visit - 11.4M | Perfect Guy - 9.7M

[BenedictL11]

BM can win the weekend. WC will tweak this a bit but Fri looking MR 10.9-11.2 BM 9.2, Visit 3.6, PG 2.9, Everest pretty strong 2.2, Captive and MI5 fighting for #8 around 0.6.

Anything on War Room?

[DAJK]

with all the good word I've been hearing (and the fact that I thought the movie was great) I had hoped the Scorch Trials would increase.

Good for Black Mass of course, but awful drop for Perfect Guy.

[kayumanggi]

September doing really well. Expect another good weekend next week!

Good for Black Mass of course, but awful drop for Perfect Guy.

Perfect Guy was that movie that everybody would rush on OW but then after that burn out but a domestic toal close to 55 million would be pretty good.

I really dont think people should be down on MT after this week. People are buying tickets online more than ever before. Which is why Fandango's reports aren't totally accurate either.  These tracking sites should only be used as tools to aid in predictions but not the only thing. 

 

Besides, MT and Fandango did show that Black Mass was performing better than tracking suggested.

Everest will be a hit. Saw the movie yesterday thought it was brilliant.

[miketheavenger]

I think while None of These numbers scream huge breakout to me, they aren't bad either. This weekend's box office is certainly much more interesting than the last few (except maybe last week).

[KATCH-2D2]

Everest will be a hit. Saw the movie yesterday thought it was brilliant.

I hope so. Saw it on Thurs night and still can't stop thinking about it. I think I'm going to see it again. One of my favourites this year.

[fmpro]

Pretty bad for MR if that number includes thursday

[CJohn]

This weekend is death.

I kept thinking of other films while watching Maze Runner today.

First they escape the Umbrella Corporation, then travel through Oblivion, they meet up again in Bartertown until they finally join up with The Wolverines.

I almost forgot. All with the help of Littlefinger and Gus.

Top 10 94.7m

[Asyulus]

Thats a bit dissapointing for MR2 and Black mass, but at least good for Everest.

[kayumanggi]

Australia gave us a clue regarding the opening of THE SCORCH TRIALS.

[4815162342]

A bit underwhelming Friday numbers for MR2 and BM after the initial hype

[Mockingjay Raphael]

Maze Shadow is really opening below the first movie?! Holy shit, I never expected it

[Mojoguy]

If that 10.7m Friday number for Maze Runner 2 is correct, than there was zero audience growth for the sequel and it actually declined.

 

Twilight still remains the most impressive YA franchise in terms of growth for the second movie.

[Mockingjay Raphael]

Did you guys notice that King Keith has been fired?

[CJohn]

Did you guys notice that King Keith has been fired?

He is back on IMDb. Brad Brevet was hired to take over BOM.
