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

It decreased in Australia.

Did you guys notice that King Keith has been fired?

It was a temporary gig.

[The Dark Alfred]

Why people project clear MR win this weekend it will be obviously more frontloaded than BM, question is whether it's gonna fumble the lead too. 30m is out of the question really.

MR2 is going to do better OS than MR1.

?

[kayumanggi]

It decreased in Australia.

 

That's the clue.

"Audiences graded Scorch Trials a B+ vs. the first title’s A-, "

Isn't this really bad for this genre? We may be looking for a $70m-$80m total?

Good drop for TV, but I had hopes of a sub 50% drop

[Ethan Hunt]

I expect the legs for Scorch should be fine, though not as good as the first

[Ethan Hunt]

You know, maybe they should've tried to release Scorch in August or something

[Wafflecakes]

That's the clue.

Confirmation bias.

 

It rose in way more countries than it dropped.

Did you like the movie?

[John Marston]

Lower opening than the first for MR? That sucks

Will Pacific Rim 2 have a lower opening than the first movie?

[Bishop54]

Will Pacific Rim 2 have a lower opening than the first movie?

Yes, since the film won't be happening it will have an OW of $0.

BLACK MASS earned an estimated $8.815M on opening day Friday. #BlackMass

What happened to the 10m estimate from last night? Ugh. Man I don't think I want to see Scorch Trials' numbers.

Stuckmann said the film suffers from being hollow and by not having a protagonist. Doesn't seem like it would be an enjoyable film.

Petty much everything I've seen (including Stuckman) has said that its enjoyable for the performances (Depp and Edgerton) but as a whole its not particularly exciting

I think the problem with Maze Runner imho is that the story just isnt that interesting. If it did about 10 mil on Friday without the Thursday number then it will probably finish right around 30 million for the weekend.

As for black mass that is a very disappointing Friday number as well. If looking at mid twenties now. That's too bad
