Tired as hell from driving, but I take it from this number GB won't do 50m OW?

 

It's pretty doubtful at this point. Probably not even 45 mil.

I'm pretty thankful that Ghostbusters didn't go the way of Fantastic 4. 

 

That was a very real possibility. 

[Fancyarcher]

Wait Finding Dory and Tarzan have grossed the exact same amount of money? Damn what a flop Dory is.

 

Oh deadline!

More like deadline accounting.

Dory can kiss 500 goodbye if that number is true.

 

Shitty drops all around, was expecting some good holds given the only one major release and that it is not setting the world on fire....

 

Solid for Pets and Ghostbusters at least.

What's your prediction for Pets weekend if 15.3m is the right figure and how much can it end up doing domestically?

If someone were to cut that picture down to KStew and Jesse Eisenberg and ask me who I would pick to sleep with, I'd pick Jesse. And I'm straight.

 

You're straight? I've always gotten gay vibes from you.

[goldenstate5]

That's a better drop for Pets than Minions' second weekend last year (57%), however Minions was more frontloaded and SLoP faces Ice Age next week as well.

 

As for Ghostbusters... nothing that'll cause mass hysteria in either direction. Except maybe Sony. But that place is a continuous dumpster fire of incompetence.

[filmnerdjamie]

Anyone else expecting the numbers to continue to dwindle for Ghostbusters as the weekend goes along?

[a2k]

CI having a 35% weekend drop in face of GB is great. 

5.2m weekend will take it to 117.4m according to Deadline.

135-140m could happen.

It's possible now that the rush factor is gone. But it's also possible WOM from people who like it kicks in now too.

Tomorrow will be interesting. Still a bunch of wild cards in play.

[filmnerdjamie]

Just gonna say it. Wouldn't surprise me if it ends up at $38M.
