Hotel Transylvania did not have a release last night.  

 

Guru:

 

 Opting out of Thursday evening pre-shows,Hotel Transylvania 2 opens Friday morning in over 3,600 locations and might scare up about $38M this weekend.

Smart move by SONY.

[baumer]

Yep, school is in, it's September, target audience doesn't show up till weekend.

 

No matter what it grosses on Friday, it'll probably jump by 70% tomorrow.

Makes sense since kids are still in school. I wouldn't be surprised if it does over $40m which is slightly lower than the first but it has pretty much no competition apart from Pan and Goosebumps so it'll easily do over $100-120m domestic and OS it's only Pan so it has a great chance of increasing from the first

[stripe]

If The intern manages to open to +20M, this should be the greatest September weekend ever. I think the best is Sep. 28-30 2012, with 119M

 

We are heading to something like

 

35M HT2

20M Intern

20M Everest

14M MR2

14M BM

 

103M for the top5!

Warner Bros. is reporting $650K for Thursday previews to Nancy Meyer’s The Intern starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. Showtimes kicked off at 7 P.M. The film, which has a lock on older females, is expected to generate between $15M-$20M this weekend. 

 

Go "The Intern" go    !!!

Glad Intern is doing well, looks like such a charming movie.

[DAR]

I've seen the ads for Green Inferno and it just looks thoroughly unpleasant, given the subject matter  I know that's not a stretch.  But that's just something I wouldn't want to spend 90 minutes watching.

[grim22]

Pretty good preview numbers for The Intern, could definitely see 15M+ this weekend.

[babz06]

The Intern doing better than I expected, was predicting low teens. Then I realized that it's audience hasnt really had anything to watch since July.

I am hoping for a 20M weekend for Everest.

[Cmasterclay]

I mean I could be wrong on this one (I don't plan to see it) but from the trailers/synopsis/reviews it seems pretty clear that it's supposed to be a father/daughter type relationship in a quirky dramedy, not really a rom com at all. 

[Maxmoser3]

Hotel Transylvania 2 has a smaller production budget than the first, that's strange

[CJohn]

DHD fuckery

HT1 opened with a 10.9M OD.

Everest bombs. The Walden Media curse continues.

Disappointing for Everest

[Mockingjay Raphael]

Poor Universal :/

Friday Report #2: According to various sources, here's how the weekend is shaping up:

 

Hotel Transylvania 2: $42 million-$44 million
The Intern: $18 million-$20 million
Everest: $16 million-$17 million
The Green Inferno: $4 million

[baumer]

I enjoy Deniro and all, but the massive age gap between him and Hathaway and probably trying to play this off as a romantic comedy is just, well, weird.. Hell, he's like 40 years older than her for heaven sakes..

 

Sorry bud, there's no romance angle here at all.

Oooh, if that happens I will have come close on every film except Everest (which I thought I was going too high on even when I posted it)

Figured HT2 would pull a Rio 2 and match the original. That's certainly a low number for Everest.
