I'm sure RTH will be on tonight to give us updates on #'s. Have a feeling the Friday # is gonna keep going up and up.

I mentioned this in the FD thread but it's sad/hilarious that it's likely going to make more in its OW than Good Dinosaur made its entire run.

Although after receiving one of their worst pieces of publicity ever earlier this week, this should come as some form of relief for them.

 

What are you talking about?

The AMC near me is still playing Warcraft in IMAX instead of Finding Dory. What the fuck!

Mine was but like early yesterday morning they switched their schedule to Dory lol

Still, we shouldn't underestimate anything with Star Wars in the title.

 

I can see 160 m OW with 3.7 legs which puts Rogue One close to 600 m.

 

Just wait till marketing hits it stride.

The question is whether Rogue One will come close or fall short of the 3.77 multiplier TFA showed last year. I don't think it can hold so well, especially with the holiday constellation this year. Something like 150/ 3.3 multi/ 500

Are people really surprised how much The Conjuring is dropping? It's a horror sequel. I had it at 57%

Rewatching Transformers 4. Such a fun film.

Yes, a 50m+ Friday means OW record.

 

 

But since it's an animated movie, a greater percentage will be matinees, so I don't think we'll see any late action upwards (the way we've seen with some other tentpoles).

I don't know, Dory got a lot of millennial hype, and IO went up from mid 20s to 34m last year. Then again, a lot of adult films went down at night too.

CI actually has better reviews than I would ever expect from a Hart comedy. Gonna go ahead and attribute that to The Rock and his ever present likability.

Yeah, I could see Fri going up from here.  I can also see a relatively large Saturday and Sunday.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

From what I've seen around me, Dory is selling extremely well through the late shows.

There is a decent amount of adult interest for a film in this category but I would still keep expectations in check (already considering DHD first number is wildly inconsistent).

Damn millennials 

[WrathOfHan]

There are already a couple sellouts at Disney tonight.

[Arlo245]

I am feeling $57 million is where it's headed today. Just a hunch. 

[Ezen Baklattan]

Personally, just a wee bit more than DHD'S estimate seems about right.
