Previews are down 33% from the first. The RT audience score is at 57% right now so this could indicate some weak legs.

[filmlover]

This is probably gonna end up seeing a similar drop-off to Magic Mike XXL, another fairly well-reviewed but still mostly unnecessary comedy sequel that saw a significant drop-off.

Just depends. Audience scores are usually a 50/50 lets wait for the crumbling results later today. This should be quite interesting.

It also says in the article that Angry Birds made $800k.

[WrathOfHan]

Angry Birds: 800k

[DAJK]

So mayb mid 20's for Neighbors and mid 30's for the Birds.

[WrathOfHan]

I'd say that's good for Angry Birds considering this is younger skewing. Home did 650k

[filmlover]

Seems like a $40M+ start is in order for Angry Birds.

[Ezen Baklattan]

With these numbers, I'd guess about $9-10m for Angry Birds and $8-9.5m for Neighbors.

Home's OW was 52m. Angry Birds OW could do 60m if that ratio holds up.

[MCKillswitch123]

Yeah, this seems like a Home vs Get Hard deal, w/Home debuting at over 50M and Get Hard at 30M+. I think this will be smaller than that (Angry Birds 40M+ vs Neighbors ~30M), but still similar.

[Ethan Hunt]

Numbers seem expected leaning towards the optimistic side for Angry Birds

I'd be very pleased with that  Angry birds looks super fun, and I'm probably seeing Neighbors in Vancouver today.

 

(holy crap I go to Vancouver a lot don't I  )

That's probably a likely possibility. Plus Seth Rogen's short box office comedy stamina is dying off, after This Is The End/Neighbors The Interview made $6 million domestic and then The Night Before only made $43 million domestic. Rogen has a box office trend like with Knocked Up, Superbad, and Pineapple Express. But then two months after Pineapple Express made nearly $90 million domestic, Zac & Miri only made $32 million domestic(mostly because of release date, and controversies about the title). Then Observe & Report only made just below $25 million, and Funny People flopped with $51 million domestic. So this could be a cycle, but if Sony gets their heads out of their asses with marketing then Sausage Party could possible be a decent hit.            Also I forgot to mention Zac Efron his box office momentum  has kinda died down after Neighbors too, We Are Your Friends tanked back in August with $3 million domestic, and then Dirty Grandpa was a hit($35 million domestic and $94 million worldwide on a $11.1 million production budget). But Neighbors 2 is a 50/50.

Not bad for Angry Birds, should likely bring in above $40 million for the weekend.

The Interview doesn't really count though

[filmlover]

Seth Rogen has always been an inconsistent draw.

[CJohn]

Angry Birds is surely going over 40M OW and Neighbors 2 should do around 30M OW. 

[narniadis]

Those numbers are right in line with expectations - actually for Birds its a tad higher than I had expected.

 

Neighbors is good for upper 20s unless it really shows up as front loaded - my 41m for birds is looking good.
