DEADLINE

5TH UPDATE, Sunday, 12:08AM:

 

Coming off of A- CinemaScores, Sony’s Hotel Transylvania 2 and Warner Bros.’ femme demo flick The Intern saw upticks in their Saturday business over Friday with respective surges of +57% and +23%. 

 

HT2 took in an estimated $20.85M moving its FSS to $47.4M-$48.4M, which would mean all-time opening records for the month of September (beating HT1’s $42.5M), Sony Animation, not to mention, it’s the best opening Sony has seen so far this year.  

 

Today’s haul is also the highest single day ever in September besting the opening day of 2013’s Insidious Chapter 2 ($20.23M).

 

The Intern made $7.65M on Saturday, repping a 23% hike over Friday. The opening weekend for Nancy Meyers’ workplace comedy is at an estimated $18.44M, still above Warner Bros.’ mid-teen projections for the film

 

Universal-Walden Media-Cross Creek-Working Title’s (pant pant pant, running out of breath) Everest grossed an estimated $5.88M, +47% over its second Friday for a second FSS at 3,006 theaters of $13.7M and a 10-day cume of $23.7M.

If that $48M OW is true.....then it would make it the biggest OW of all "Adam Sandler" movies...beating "The Longest Yard's $47M OW.

THE GREEN INFERNO opened with an estimated $3.50M this weekend.

[Joel M]

I wonder if there's a chance for Sicario to break out with over 20m next week. It is doing stellar in limited release and looks like the most mainstream friendly Villeneuve project yet.

DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH

[Mockingjay Raphael]

So, HT2 broke the OW record? Congrats, Selena Gomez and Fifth Harmony

[Yandereprime101189]

Well Maze Runner 2 ain't doing good. At least it'll likely have overseas. . . .

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Pretty good weekend for openers, pretty weak for the holdovers. Hope Sicario can break out next weekend, although it will be tough against the Martian. I'm thinking TM will beat Gravity.

Edit: OW that is.

$15m definitely looks possible if it expands in 2500 theaters or thereabouts.
