Really disappointing. And 3D is apparently turning off A LOT of viewers for this franchise.

Fuck 3D. The biggest cinema in the country only had 2 subbed 2D showings yesterday.

Even lower than estimate said.  Under 100m OW could happen.

There's only one way to save this weekend now.

 

Football talk.

Who thought it was possible that at this point MJ2's opening day could be smaller than Minions'?

Horrible. 30M Friday. THG and CF were around 50M. That's -40%.

TF4 had a 42M OD in the Summer and it still did 100M OW. 100M OW will happen for MJ2. 105M probably as well. Still a gigantic disappointment. 

[MrFanaticGuy34]

$46M OD? Same as the Minions OD?

Football talk is more important and exciting anyway

Lionsgate is far from done, guys. Don't be silly.

Well it's a little less exciting when Peyton can't blow a 24 point lead to Tom Brady.

 

But I still dream of that legendary night. Made the Catching Fire thread completely worth it.

They can't survive on monster flops every month with no big 300M to balance that. They are fucked on the long run. I give them 10 years. Their marketing department is absolute garbage. 

 

When they have a 140M tentpole set and ready to go and the best they can come up with for the poster campaign is this:

You know they are fucked. And I won't even talk about releasing Allegiant one week before BvS. They are not even releasing it in 3D like Insurgent. 

 

I can't wait to see how they are gonna fuck up Now You See Me 2. 

[Noctis]

Yea...to think that MJ2 is going to sell roughly 40% less tickets than CF on OW is astonishing. 

[Olive]

If it performs like MJ1, OW will be aound 98.5M, same legs of MJ1 puts it at 276M

[misafeco]

16M previews, 30M Friday, 32.1M Saturday, 20.3M Sunday.

98.4M OW.

Well..HP5, HP6 & Twilight: Eclipse opened at $44M, $58M & $68M, respectively...on OD....but didn't get to over $100M OW.

 

Granted, HP5 & HP6 didn't open on a Friday...and Eclipse opened at the last day of June 2010.

[Lordmandeep]

MJ2 opening day below Fast 7 Opening Saturday 

 

 

This is not good, the number seems more what a film should make on a saturday then on a opening day

Those movies opened on a Wednesday so I am not sure what you are trying to say here.

100M will happen. Even if barely. 

[John Marston]

It already played far worse than MJ1 in Friday, so it will likely so so over the weekend. Under 100m could very likely happen
