kswiston Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 1 minute ago, MovieMan89 said: Yeah. With $130m though it goes up to $280 with TA legs. It does, but given the rush factor that extended into early Friday morning, I think that Saturday will be down over Friday proper. Avengers had an 11-12% bump on Saturday over no previews Friday. If Friday is $130M, I think we'll end up with $250-255M for the weekend. If Friday is $120M then a ~$230M weekend is probably more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superduperm Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Disney's projection of a $215M OW from a $120M OD is laughable. Even if Saturday barely fails to stay absolutely flat from Friday day business ($62M) and Sunday drops 35.4%, you get $222M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonePirate Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Does Cinemascore offer A+ grades? It's difficult to imagine a better crowd pleaser than this TFA so I am wondering if the film did indeed receive the max score possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are the current ones (120-130) just very conservative? 1 hour ago, Rth said: for now going to stick with number had from earlier today 125-130m, same range DL had as low end earlier and I think now as well , great if does end up going higher, FYI that early matinee number reported by THR (based on a theatre sample) going into eve hasn't gone up by much (which you expect to a degree given it includes presales, it always a case what type of effect it has) 47 minutes ago, spizzer said: Alright now that I'm back from it. So what I understand is that the 43M figure was how much overall Friday business had been done (walkup+presales) at that point during the day, and it was misreported as matinee business (because 43M matinees would truly suggest >90M Friday). The question now is, how much did it actually do in morning/matinees. I predicted mid-line (20M morning/matinees and 45M evenings), and it seems like that's around your lower range. Saturday is curious. Haven't seen any sellout reports nor have I done them myself, but after burning off 120-130M in demand already, how much immediate demand will be left? As of now I'm expecting it staying flat at best (though I'd love to be wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that I can see 70M+ on Saturday and 245-250M for the full weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superduperm Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 $123M is amazing. Hopefully nobody is disappointed just because of matinee reports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
