WEEKEND THREAD | B.O numbers Page 28: Final Divergent movie opens at $29m, Zoo: $38m

[CJohn]

Spectre did 3000 yesterday

 

[The Panda]

Dang, although 9.6m is better than I originally projected its a slight disappointment after hearing 10-11m

 

So

Fri: 9.6m

Sat: 15.4m

Sun: 10.8m

Wknd: 35.8m

 

About on track with what I was thinking.

[TalismanRing]

Why is Deadline the only site with a Messiah estimate and is it a coincidence it's about the same as the Risen estimate on BOM? 

[CelestialFairyIX]

Zootopia:

- Friday; $9.6M 

- Saturday; +50 - 75%, $14.4 - 16.8M

- Sunday: -25 - 30%, $10.08 - 12.6M

 

Total: $34.08 - 39M 

 

Sadly, it has an almost non-existent chance to hit the $40M mark. :C

did anyone for real think it was gonna hit 40 this weekend?

No.  Most expectations were $33 - 37M.  I just had lofty expectations because I really want it to beat Shrek 2's third weekend gross of $37,931,716.  It has a real chance of defeating the gross but $40,000,000 is such a nice, round number...

Twilight started the YA craze, it's sad but true.

Curiously enough, The Identical didn't, I'm surprised it didn't lose more theaters:

It wasn't released by a major or "mini-major" (Weinstein, Open Road, etc.) studio.

Spectre's numbers bring joy into my life. I look forward to what it does next week more than I do for BVS.

A $111 PTA for The Bronze. What the hell were they thinking putting it in almost 1K theaters with no advertising?

Yeah saw it had a few show times here and I was like WTF

[DAJK]

When actually seeing Allegiant is more interesting than the BO numbers

 

Bring on BvS Hollywood!

[La Binoche]

Finally saw "Eye In The Sky" last night. More tense and suspenseful than I expected. It keeps the very complex subject of drone warfare simple and easy for an audience to follow. A couple of heavy-handed moments but otherwise very engrossing. Check it out.

Allegiant: as good as Insurgent or closer to Divergent (or worse) ?

[wildphantom]

Spectre's quest for $200 million is becoming legend. 

Maybe Sony should launch a Kickstarter to get it over the line? Lol

[Jake Gittes]

Spectre is now closer to $200m than Gnomeo & Juliet is to $100m. There's no way back. 

[DAJK]

So Allegiant held incredibly strong for the very late shows last night, but still underwhelmed here with 11.2M, which isn't just disappointing considering it's below the domestic BO, but YA films can usually do 30-50% stronger here than usual.

I actually enjoyed it better than the first two.

Why do YA films do better there?

Alright. I'm pretty excited
