If Kabali gets 6M it'll be in 6th place

No Beyond numbers yet?

[WrathOfHan]

Really curious to see how Hillary's America did now, will it be grouped in with the Thursday gross?

It hit 100M on OW, how is that not an event?  

Are all big openers "events"? I thought the term was for the types of movies where people camp out on the sidewalk a day beforehand.

Holy $#%^*!!!!!

Woah. Could this actually enter the top 5?

[picores]

I'm fine with anything over 5m for Beyond. Over 6m and i'm really happy.

[La Binoche]

In terms of horror this Summer there's also Don't Breathe, which is getting good early reviews and is rated hard R.

IA5 previews barely over BFG...under 20M OW?

[WrathOfHan]

Paramount always takes forever for preview numbers  

[CJohn]

Based on previews I am think 23-24M for Ice Age and 19-21M for Lights Out.

I don't know if there's gonna be another Ice Age film. When all is said and done, it'll probably end up with 450-500m WW, which will still make it quite profitable. But such a huge drop from the fourth one has to be concerning for Fox. Maybe they'll advise Blue Sky to actually put some effort into making these films. If a hypothetical IA6 is better received, it could at least end the franchise on a high note.

not bad for trek but definitely not good. I think it may not crack 60m with 5m previews.

[WrathOfHan]

Wow Gitesh, so helpful.

I don't think anyone inside Blue Sky's creative team actually wants to keep making them and that shows in the final product. It's already shown in the last one, imagine in this one...

I'm pretty sure talking animated animal fatigue also played a role in Ice Age underperforming. It doesn't help that it's the worst of the genre. 

[WrathOfHan]

Hot Take: Star Trek Beyond will have an opening day between 17-25M. 

[Maxmoser3]

What's Kabbali? Whatever it is very solid preview number for it. Solid for Lights Out, should do at least mid-to-high teens for the weekend. No surprise on Ice Age though it's time for Fox to call it quits on the series anyway so an opening of around $20 million doesn't seem surprising.

Bourne might be the greatest franchise of all time (Legacy doesn't exist)

 

That's not how it works

The entire franchise just has fatigue in general.
