MEH-MORIAL DAY WEEKEND BOX OFFICE | Abandon all hope, the box office is dead. 3 day weekend #s X-Men 65M, Alice 28.1M, Angry Birds 18.7M, Civil War 15.1M, Neighbors 9.1M. Bad openings, horrible holdovers.

Nice, pretty good all things considered for the X-Men, right there. Obvious frontloadedness incoming, but hey, it matched DOFP off the bat. Not bad.

[POTUS 2020]

Were DOFP 7pm or later?

 

Does this indicate a 20% decline for the weekend 

[WrathOfHan]

That's a great number. It'll be more frontloaded but a 70M 3 day seems pretty good.

I think DOFP started at 10pm shows on Thursday night. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=3846&p=.htm

From everything I can see, Alice performed like absolute crap in previews and doesn't look much better today.  

Better than Tomorrowland at least?

Will be frontloaded  but I guess it's ok all things considered.  

[DAJK]

I can't see it falling much below 90 for the 4 day with that. Not too shabby.

[GiantCALBears]

Not the worst case scenario some of us saw for Apocalypse, not exactly good either. Just meh.

I can't remember what Tomorrowland did, but from what I can see Alice did like 1/3rd at best of X-Men.

That puts it pretty much in line with how it fell in UK, less than Australia's drop due to Jackman.

Tomorrowland only had limited previews so not a good comparison.

[picores]

Solid midnights for X-Men.  90m 4-day would be better than expected some weeks ago.

[mrqe93]

So, DOFP had 600 fewer theaters and only 10pm shows?

[filmnerdjamie]

No, Days of Future Past had 7 PM screenings. Mine was.

[moviesRus]

DOFP:

Theater Count: 3996

Previews: 10pm

Yours might've been an anomaly cause the box office reports all have them at 10pm.

Days of Future Past kicked off its release on Friday with $35.5M (including $8.1M from Thursday night shows starting at 10pm).

I don't see 90m+ 4-day. Had similar previews even though it started 3 hours early and had lot more shows. And is a sequel.

But this has no wolvie. There have been 3 big cbms withing 4 months already. So it's creditable.

Correct.  10pm only and way less theaters.  This isn't really that great of a number.  

[druv10]

Not bad for Apocalypse. 85M+ 4 day should happen.
