Noon is way too late, the latest they'll be out is 11:30 EST.

 

 

 

Ok, well, lol, don't expect them at 10AM EST.  11:30-noon, around that time imo.

Previews are never given out early.  RTH has commented on this several times.  Especially for a movie of this magnitude, plus, the numbers are harder to come by early since there are so many places still counting money from the last shows that probably just ended about 2 hours ago.  We will get preview numbers at around noon, if I have to guess.

Previews tend to come out right when I get to school. So around 8AM PST

 

However I remember JW numbers coming out at some time when I was in the shower; I get out, check my phone and there they are, so around 7:15PST.

I think people are forgetting a little bit that Avengers being "only" 18M was exactly because it was a midnight preview. The best template to prove that a smaller scale preview is still a potential megahit is Jurassic World. 18.5M in 7PM/8PM previews (on par with Avengers, despite starting a few hours earlier) - 208M OW (bigger than Avengers). WTF worthy.

The odd thing this could do a bit badly in previews like 18 million and likely finish near im3.

I'll say this now: if this does high-30's, BKB's club becomes reality.

[JohnnyGossamer]

My guess is just under $25M in previews.

Also, this isn't a holiday weekend(there's Mother's Day, but no gets off from work for.that), so if it isn't the biggest preview #, that doesn't mean it won't do.gangbusters for the rest of the weekend.

I disagree.  But we'll see what happens.

Previews will be out within 70 minutes probably, this is normal.

 

Jeez, you got a timer on this thing?

[baumer]

There's a ton of factors that go into preview numbers.  Remember what DH2 did and it only finished with 170 mill for the weekend.  So you won't know what it will do based on the preview number.

This is sarcasm, right?

Slightly off topic, but the estimates (Olive) in China have it making over $30m in midnight + Friday (199yuan)

You realize you can get warning points for doing this kind of stuff, right?
