ZOOTOPIA 3:16 SAYS I JUST PULLED THE CASH OUT OF YOUR ASS

[Arlo245]

$4.75 million would great for Zootopia! only a 21% drop from Tuesday and an amazing 28% increase from last Wednesday! $4.5 million would be good as well, but $4.75 would put in on track for a $40 million weekend IMO. $4.5 million would keep it on track for $37 million.  It's having a great run! 

[Dingdong123]

Indeed, anywhere from 4.5-4.75 is already great for Zootopia. I expected around 30% drop.

I didn't even know estimates were done this early. And why focus on estimates when in a about 8 hours, we'll know the actuals?

I believe because we have a new release this wednesday, so they wanna gauge its debut numbers.

Miracles is performing exactly how I expected.

[BK007]

Uh...is that not a bad number for Miracles from Heaven?

It's not the kind of film that does huge on a weekday.

 

Plus it has a $35 million budget, so it'll at least make a small profit

The budget is 35M? Wow, I didn't expect it to be higher than Risen's budget.

I wonder how much Jennifer Garner asked for

Praise the heavens. Sony's "spiritual sequel" to HEAVEN IS FOR REAL, MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN, debuted with $1.9M yesterday.

Seems good to me for Miracles - its a bit more than 1/2 of Heaven is for Real's Opening day which is about what I was thinking for the weekend so right around 11m sounds about right and 14m from the 5day.

 

Good hold for Zoo since I was expecting closer to -30% and 4.5m would be -25%

 

4.5 Thursday

9m Friday

13.5m Saturday

9.45m Sunday

Still on Track for 32-35m for Zoo this weekend will be interesting to see if it can break into the top 10 3rd weekends or not.

Tis what I expect - having a hard time choosing which gross for the Derby - its a good thing we don't have to pick the placement as well as the gross.

[seduh]
