985 K THE BOSS http://variety.com/2016/film/news/box-office-boss-melissa-mccarthy-opening-1201748743/

Solid. Should do 20-25M this weekend. Hail McCarthy.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Nice! Happy this movie seems like it will be a good hit for her, considering Ghostbusters may flop.

[Emirazza]

 

 

[WrathOfHan]

Slightly behind Big Fat Greek Wedding's previews, but considering that was Easter weekend this should do 20M

[ZattMurdock]

[filmlover]

Should be around $20M for the weekend. Solid considering the awful reviews.

[Finnick]

DHD, BvS 2.7M,

[kayumanggi]

STX Entertainment has its first-person P.O.V. hyper action title Hardcore Henry also going wide. STX bought the film out of Toronto two years ago for $10M and it is expected to gross $7M-$10M over FSS. The film previewed last night at 9PM, and grossed $380K. http://deadline.com/2016/04/the-weekend-box-office-batman-v-superman-melissa-mccarthy-1201734178/

Ooh, that's bad. But is anyone really surprised? That movie looks like it should come with its own complimentary barf bags handed out at the theater door.

[La Binoche]

She can open a movie like no other (JLaw has yet to open a movie). Even St. Vincent was a hit. It's a shame she's tarnishing her brand by continuing to work with her hack husband. But Ghostbusters looks funny for the most part. I trust Paul Feig. He has yet to let us down. 

[WrathOfHan]

Expected after those dismal presales.

7.5M on the Derby was too high

Keeping the under F7 trend.

[filmlover]

This New York Daily News review quote for Hardcore Henry is hysterical: "You could go see "Hardcore Henry" - or you could gulp down a pint of vodka, load in "Grand Theft Auto," then strap the TV to your face and throw yourself down the stairs."

If Hardcore Henry has the same preview to ow/ w/e ratio as Triple 9 then it hits $6.8m (which bodes well for my Derby)

 

TRPL9

Triple 9

Friday

0.34

0

2.1

6.1

[WrathOfHan]

Key factor about Henry: Previews didn't start until 9. That should still keep it at 6.5-7.5

[DAJK]

Solid for the Boss. Certainly not the Thursday night wonder it was at my theatre which did 4.4M+.

[ZattMurdock]

Predict how hard BvS will fall from the 2nd weekend to the third, it had a $51,335,254 2nd weekend, so:

 

50%: $25.6m

55%: $23.1m

60%: $20.5m

65%: $17.9m

70%: $15.4m

 

BvS performed last Friday with a jump that was 35,3% below F7, F7 had a 185.4% jump on its third Friday, so I'm guessing a 167,7% jump today, for a $7.23m Friday. 

 

Friday: $7,23m

Saturday: $9,76m

Sunday: $6,05m

 

$23,04m weekend, and that's my optimistic prediction for BvS.
