The Weinstein Company. Certainly you've encountered their logo over the last 11 years.

Yes, I guess I just never paid attention to it.  Thanks.

I thought Miramax shut down.

 

Miramax' back catalogue is quite extensive.

 

Im sure they still get a shit ton in royalties.

[jj99]

Scratch that. they still seem to be active. They co-produced The Wedding Ringer, which made 80M.

AMAZING number for TW, it will be one of the best years for horror movies, this is the third breakout in a row for the genre, and we still have TC2 and TP3 coming

 

TP3 is horror?

God damn it's past 4 EST and we're only at 3 pages  Hopefully Deadpool increases

[That One Girl]

Risen should have an excellent Sunday hold which would put The Witch and Risen in a close race for top newcomer.  Race isn't gonna do too well

Nope, it should stay the same for my Derby.  

 

In fact all those numbers looks very good for my Derby which makes me doubt they'll stick. 

[eXtacy]

Very early numbers. If at all accurate probably 50-55m weekend for Deadpool

[WrathOfHan]

Quick reminder that Deadline had Deadpool in the low 30's for last Froday's early estimates, I expect them to increase

That's what I recall too. I hope Deadline is wrong, and rth shows up with a higher number.

Peace,

They like to be early but far from accurate, still a good place to start & build surprise to the upside.

[Impact]

You know-Race has to have the most generic title of the year.

[Eastwood51]

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Deadpool hits $20 million plus for Friday. This film is getting strong word of mouth and I'm sure the repeat business will be strong as well.

[Impact]

Well I'm probably going to see Deadpool today!

 

[DeeCee]

Looks to be a real solid opening weekend for Deadpool.

Very generic and yet it's a title that works on two levels.

Yes, but now they have more information to base projections off of, they know how it performs during the day and night.  It's  why they're almost always better with holdovers than they are with openers. 

 

I had it pegged for a $16m Friday because it's an R Rated adult skewing movie which traditionally have stronger weekdays smaller Friday jumps. 

[DAJK]

Anyone know Race's production budget?

 

Risen cost only 20, so say it does 11/29 and another 50OS, Sony at the very least breaks even.

I don't know but Focus bought it for 5million.
