Weekend Thread | The Jungle Book - Early Weekend Estimates 101m - 103m (DHD - Page 59) (Fri 32m, Sat 41.5m-42m) | RTH Saturday Early Est = 40-44M (Page 46) | Barbershop TNC - Est 20.4m (DHD) | Boss -59% | Hardcore Henry epic -71%

Matinee numbers are rolling in and The Jungle Book is ontrack right now to gross around $25M today (that includes the impressive $4.2M it brought in last night) for a high $70M three-day gross. The well-reviewed PG-rated adventure film from Disney should pick up steam as the weekend progresses with tomorrow a strong family moviegoing day. Meanwhile, the PG-13 rated Barbershop: The Next Cut is still in line with estimates right now for a nice three-day opening in the high $20Ms with a possible shot at $30M. Matinees are said to be playing very strong today and Sunday should have a lesser percentage decline than other films in the marketplace.

7 M - 9 M for CRIMINAL? Doubt that.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Super early numbers. It's a family movie and night shows aren't starting on the East Coast for another couple hours. But the signs are good so far. Really hoping for 30m+

[JohnnyGossamer]

I think Jungle Book's Friday will end up over $30M and the weekend just under $90M.

[The Futurist]

Go see Jungle Book people.

 

This is a movie to be experienced in movie theaters.

 

It deserves all the money.

 

Hoping for 85m+ OW.

Do threads here ever get exciting unless it's a superhero film or something which breaks a record or something which REALLY overperforms?

Yeah

Still see anywhere from 70-110M because I can see this playing really well with older people who don't typically show up in tracking.

 

It did at the showing I went to. Maybe you're right.

Or the BFG.

 

 

Excuse you but the BFG is going to be a 200m blockbuster with a 90%+ Tomatometer.  In Spielberg we trust.

[Maxmoser3]

This weekend should pull in some solid numbers but next weekend looks iffy.

The CGI are great but I don't see Mark Rylance butt ugly face becoming a kid favorite.

Well, here's my last weekend BvS prediction before we start getting estimates: $9.96 million (-57.4%).

[Sam]

Dat sexy JB number.

Cool to see ScarJo continuing to work in great movies. It's especially impressive for a minimally talented hot girl. I mean just think of all the Jessica Biels and the Jessica Albas and the Megan Foxes. She bucked the trend.

ScarJo is infinitely more talented than the likes of Jessica Alba or Megan Fox. Come on now. They wish they had a Lost in Translation or a Her or a franchise as huge as The Avengers to their names.

That's a good number for TBJ,  I'd rate it 6,7 / 10. 

[Poseidon]

Variety has JB at $25m/$80m.

BS at least $25m for the weekend.
