Either families save it over the weekend or RIP.

It'll be interesting to see how much the extra hour affected it.

It is a family film, so previews were not going to be relevant.

 

650k is not a bad number, IMHO

[Ezen Baklattan]

All told, that's not awful for Pan. Not sure how the midnight share would be, but low 20s are in the realm of possibility.

Then again, it'll lead to about 60-70m for a 150m film. Yeah, doubt Wb wanted that. Even when worldwide numbers save its ass, it's going to really fall short.

That could've been worse, to be honest. In comparison, Tomorrowland did $725,000 in its early showings.

I completely forgot it was Friday! When I saw this thread I was like "wtf Pan doesn't open for a couple of days!"

Anyways, those numbers aren't terrible all things considered. If this plays to families, low 20's is still certainly possible. OD of about 7M is happening.

Rooney's fanbase is very loyal.

Tomorrowland only had previews in IMAX and PLF theaters.

So about the same or more admissions-wise in Pan's case.

[mahnamahna]

Pan should do low to high 20s - not awful considering it's been dumped into Fall 2015 lol and HT2/Goosebumps look to be more compelling family fare

[RichWS]

Expectations are so low that reaching 20M is "not terrible" or "not awful".

[DAR]

Ehh

[Mojoguy]

Pan should have pulled a Hotel Transylvania 2 and not bothered with doing Thursday Previews.

 

Families wait until the weekend to see movies, and if the movie is bad than that would just spread bad WOM quicker.

Most people thought it was going to be a dud as soon as WB moved it from summer to October.

"It could have done worse. Tomorrowland did better."

How does this make any sense?

Signs the past few days had been indicating a sub-$20M opening, which would be even more catastrophic. An opening similar to Tomorrowland would be considering something of a (very minor) win at this point.

Looks like we have a Pan-demic on our hands.

On this weekend last year, Dracula Untold had $1.3 million previews and opened to $23.5 million. Granted it was more aimed at teens and not kids, but I wonder if Pan will even go that high?
