July 1-4 Weekend Estimates | Dory 50.2m, Tarzan 45.6m, Purge 34.8m, BFG 22.2m, IDR 20.2m

[FlashMaster659]

Oh and it looks like Tarzan actually did $2.55M.

[That One Girl]

That's higher than Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!  BFG looking at an over 200M finish  

[ban1o]

yeah I'm confused why people are saying Tarzan's numbers are good. 

 

 The only successful version of these lie action remakes are the Disney versions. Other studios should stop making them. The little mermaid one that universal wants to make will bomb as well.

I really don't think we can know what'll happen with Tarzan or BFG until our first Friday estimates are in.

They are pretty much fucked considering their budgets. 

[Nova]

Are other Thursday numbers out yet? 

[Mojoguy]

Some people are looking for an alternative to DORY, which is going to be The Purge.

[WrathOfHan]

RT audience scores:

 

BFG: 68%

Purge: 73%

Tarzan: 69%

 

Solid but not strong.

Why are we saying the numbers for Tarzan are good? It's got a $180M budget, and this will be like a $25M opening.

 

Relative to expectations.  Everyone knows they're screwed in terms of overall budget but people were pegging it in the teens for a 3-day and it's clearly going to be higher than that.

Just how much was Tarzan's thunder stolen by The Jungle book earlier this year?

It had 0 effect. Tarzan will tank on his own.
