Good god

 

Think 90's a pretty safe bet with that number,  maybe 95

$100M opening possible? 

 

Maybe.......if it gets a strong increase on Saturday. Maybe.

 

Also.....how many blockbusters has opened around $30-40M OD and hit $100M+ OW? That rarely happens.

Ok I went a little crazy here. Not a single movie which had a 30-35 OD opened to 100M+

 

Still, great number, Disney should be more than happy with this!

Oz only did $2m Thursday though so for now I'd guess 85+ for TJB

 

True. Taking that into consideration, Oz's true Friday was $22M. It then increased 50% on Saturday from that number to $33M.

 

Considering TJB's $4.2M Thursday numbers, its true Friday would be $25.8M if these numbers hold up. A 50% increase from that would be $38.7M. An identical Sunday drop as Oz (-33.4%) would place its Sunday at another $25.8. So, again, if it plays exactly like Oz, and unless my math is wrong in some way, that's a $90.3M opening weekend. Still pretty stellar.

Happy for Favs, always thought he got screwed out of the Avengers

[The Futurist]

Fuck Yes.

 

90m OW possible now.

Hell yes. Four $300M grossers before summer? I think so. 

[Truckasaurus]

But I think we have to consider TJB's better reviews and higher Cinemascore (an A compared to Oz's B+). Is $95M a pipe dream? Seems doable to me.

Whoops, forgot to take into account Thursday numbers. 90.3 + 4.2M = 94.5M! 

 

Just for fun, I did the same math but using Cinderella as a comp, and came up with a more "down to earth" $85.6M OW. Either way, TJB breaks out big.

Indy 4 opened to $100M on its OW.....and it only opened at $25M OD. Granted, that was a Thursday.

 

And yeah.....Disney is looking strong with all their big movies.

[filmlover]

Considering matinees are likely going to be gangbusters tomorrow and Sunday, $90M+ is definitely likely.

[picores]

West Coast! 100m OW is totally in the table.
