BOT User Tracking 6/24-26 Free State of Jones, Independence Day, Neon Demon, Shallows

[Wrath]

My favorite part of summer, as seemingly every weekend has a big blockbuster coming and its almost impossible to suffer through back-to-back weekends without anything worth watching (unlike, say, September, when stretches like that can last a month or more). Let the festivities continue!

 

Please provide your 6/24-26 Opening Weekend predicts for, 

Free State of Jones

Independence Day 2

Neon Demon

Shallows

 

Deadline this week will be Thursday afternoon (US Eastern time), whenever I get to it. Note that we will be using our median predict rather than our mean predict going forward.

[WrathOfHan]

Independence Day: 42M

The Shallows: 18M

Free State of Jones: 13M

Neon Demon: 800k

I'm honestly feeling like Free State of Jones will settle for around mid-single digits. Marketing has been plentiful but hardly exciting, and I'm suspecting the reviews will be rather mediocre too.

[trancedanne]

I don't think Jones will even reach 10m

[Ethan Hunt]

Independence Day- 41M

The Shallows- 17M

Free State of Jones- 11M

I'm lowering my original prediction for Free State of Jones and increasing the one for The Shallows 

ID4- $40M (I may even go lower closer to the release date 

The Shallows- $21M (if it gets good reviews and good WOM I think this will go up) 

Free State of Jones- $9M (I see promo for it but I don't see any buzz for it)

Neon Demon- $1M

Independence Day - 46 (hopefully lower. It looks terrible, but transformers 'turn off your brain' crowd might show.)

The Shallows - 27 (going high with this one, buzz and marketing have been incredible.)

Free State of Jones - 8 (wrong year for a white savior movie. Also looks meh.)

Neon Demon - 1 (reviews needed to be better. Horror crowd will go shallows, art-house crowd for Swiss army man or Wilderpeople)

The ID4-2 numbers make me sad.  Free State of Jones is getting what it deserves.  Shallows...kinda hoping it beats expectations.

 

Neon Demon isn't making shit.

Yeah. I don't even know how many screens Neon Demon is opening on other than "Wide". Could be 600.

Somewhat fewer predicts than last week, but not a huge difference, which is a surprise to me. A Finding Dory doesn't come out every week, whereas an ID: Resurgence, if you look at the lower predicts, pretty much does. Perhaps this is a good sign for the weekend? I wonder if there's a correlation between the # of predicts and the OW totals.

 

MovieWeb.com's predicts were disappointing in that I was expecting like 95M for ID:2 and 3.5M for Shallows, but they were almost reasonable this week.  Almost (3.9M Neon Demon?). Also, I think we're all a little sad Neon Demon was released in 700-ish theaters instead of, say, 590. Did it really *HAVE* to be a wide release? Sigh.

 

Compared to the other sites, our predicts are about in the middle on Free State of Jones, rather pessimistic on ID:R, extremely pessimistic on Neon Demon, and quite optimistic on The Shallows. 

 

As usual, I totaled all predicts (20 for Free State of Jones and ID:2, 19 for Shallows and 15 for Neon Demon) and here are the results:
