I went at 9M show with 11 people around my age. 

Hmmmmmm... I see

I am waiting for RTH to come on here and give us some numbers for IDR. Then again, is IDR even worthy of RTH doing that?

As word gets out? It's been out for a week

now and it's daily drops have been next to nothing over the course of the week. If anything that shows just how great of WOM it's getting. Meanwhile ID:R's WOM is terrible at the moment. I take it you must work for Deadline with your projections. 

That's really not fair to Deadline. They've never said anything as audacious as Dory under $210M or Fox to beat Disney 2016.

To the surprise of I'm guessing nobody, the openers next weekend are tracking poorly.

The holiday next weekend can probably prevent a huge drop.

 

It's tracking low to mid 20's

That's great for a $10 million budgeted film.

If it goes below that early 18-19 range, 40 isn't happening this weekend. Sat drop will be big.

Even my friends were fueled by nostalgia and wanted to see it. It was a 360 seats screen and only the 3 front rows were empty. Meanwhile IDR on a similar screen also with 360 seats had like 65 people

Swiss Army Man is headed for a HUGE average if the business at the theaters showing it are any indication. It's gonna make nothing if it reaches wide release, though.

It will. People are coming to their senses and going to see The Shallows instead. A bikini clad Blake Lively fighting a shark for 90 minutes is much better entertainment regardless of how ridiculous it sounds.

And looks as though The Shallows will end up making a nice profit for Sony.

A comment heard by someone leaving The Shallows today: "10,000 times better than Sharknado!"

 

I shit you not.

Would not surprise me. First, ID is going to be a lot bigger than many around here thought and that will suck up some tickets that otherwise would have gone to Dory.

This is what happens if you post when drunk.

ID:R had very weak trailer views and almost non-existent social media metrics, Star Trek Beyond is another release that should be getting more online traction but just isn't. Ghostbusters puts up good Twitter numbers, but hard to know how much of the twitter chatter is people railing against the movie.

Yet some of the so called boxoffice experts on this site refused to believe it would do under 200 million domestic and under 800 million worldwide.

Now under 80 million dom and under 250 million os is looking good considering the awful word of mouth.

You guys should have left my thread open.

It turns out, Batman v superman was one of the better blockbusters of 2016.

I saw ID today and frankly, it sucked. But that doesn't mean Dory isn't mediocre, because it is. I do think word is getting out about that as we speak, and this weekend's take will reflect it.

NYSM2 is making big coin here too.

 

The first was a phenom here. It was ridiculously huge. This one opened with the same as the first. It won't have the same legs but if does like 3/4 of the first one is already a crazy big hit. That is how big the first was.

No. It was just the second worst instead of being the worst.
