THE LEGEND OF TARZAN earned an estimated $3.27M on Friday. Domestic total is now $95.2M. #TheLegendOfTarzan

Ghostbusters will likely be a financial flop. It will make a little over 200m worldwide. Not enough to offset its massive budget and marketing

Well shit. So we are looking at anything between $16.5M and $17M then. That would give it a true Friday of $13.1M to 13.6M.

Minions 2nd Friday: 14.5

IO 2nd Friday: 14.9

Pets 2nd Friday 15.1

Very close 2nd fridays for these films. 

Trying to calculate how much Pets can end up with if it falls below IO tracking but stays on par or a bit better than Minions..Hmmm..

Doubt it. It has no international stars or internationally appealing concept. US, UK, and Australia should be its only really good markets and apparently it is only doing Ok at best in UK

Why? See what I said above. This is not a movie international audiences should have much interest in.

Conversely, Ghostbusters is looking at $43 million-$44 million, a less-than-spectacular start considering the movie's $144 million net budget (rebates and tax incentives brought it down from $154 million). Sony is being  more bullish in projecting $46.5 million, but rival studios all have it lower.

 

 

Also,  Pets at $50m

What's that Hilary's America movie coming out next week? 

[MinaTakla]

LOL! Am watching CNN while reading the forum and they just said FUDGED in a talk about the elections.

[a2k]

300 ww is fair for a movie with a 144 budget. it's >2x the budget with a good portion coming from us/can where you get a better % of the gross. auxiliary sources will easily take care of marketing budget.

[baumer]

Some of u guys are strange. Pets will finish closer to 350 than 300. It's a mathematical certainty.

[Nova]

Honestly I see it in the low 40s which is under what I predicting for it. I had it hitting $48M and really thought it could do that based on the previews. However I wouldn't be shocked if it was at $40M or so like IDR because it didn't pick up steam on Friday like I thought it would and in fact kept decreasing from estimates.
