I am so disappointed that it's not to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2.

 

Speaking of which, oh man that embarrassing drop-off is coming. It really does feel like no one cares.

Let's hope that number holds for Zootopia, because I'd love to see a >$40M weekend.

She was totally like... “do you guys wanna go see that movie next Friday"

 

Me and my brother both though she was talking about BvS said yes  I'm down anyways though.

I can't believe they released that trash movie.  The studio must really think the audience are a bunch of gullible and ignorant sheep that would go to the theater no matter what drivel they get served.  I'm glad it was DOA and it still proves that Jennifer Lawrence is the uncontested Jennifer Queen.  All others are false idols. 

I don't know what's the big deal about releasing these movies in March/Spring, as if people had a void to fill during that time of year and only these movies based a popular book can filled the void in their miserable life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, I really hate Miracles from Heaven and other Christian movies... 

 

Wow...a hater? A life hater? I'm glad you love the uncontested Jennifer Queen at least. Your post is pure garbage btw. Congratulations.

Sweet.  40-50% increase Saturday and we're on pace for 35-37M on the median.  11M might put 40M on the table.

Why would Zoo only increase 40-50% on Saturday? 40m is locked with 11m Friday.

Spring break in a lot of places.

Spring break.  That's why daily business this week was up from last week, and it'll mitigate weekend jump.

Word of mouth starting to kick in for Allegiant, going up from early projections.

 

So it's happening what I imagined: a lot of fans lost interest in the movie (that's why the huge drop in previews) but general audiences not as much, and the rest of the weekend must play better than we'd expect judging by the previews.

(a) What word of mouth?, and (b) It's not "going up" - these are projections from different sources.

I want to live in your imagination, but I'm afraid I'd never escape.

What will happen if Rth's Friday number starts with an 8?

[Mojoguy]

Somebody update the title with RTH's numbers.

80M sounds amazing to me.

[spizzer]

Taking's Rth's average, 12.5M for Allegiant with 2.35M from previews so 10.15M Friday business, similar ratio to Insurgent last year.  Same IM would put the weekend on pace for 30.9M.

[La Binoche]

Nice to see that sexy dystopian teen movies are over.  Now if only dumb "miracle" religious movies would follow suit.

I feel like BvS missing 9M would be a tiny bit disappointing
