Weekend #s STB 59.6M, Pets 29.3M, GB and LO 21.6M, IA5 21M

[picores]

Rogue Nation did 4m from previews last year for 55m OW. Star Trek targets a similar audience, should be a bit more frontloaded but so far, neither ST09 or STiD were particulary frontloaded.

 

5-6m from previews locks 50m OW imo.

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

Really going out on a limb there 

[baumer]

That's a pretty huge number for Lights Out.  Some comparisons (although not all are viable since they are different time of year)

 

Ouija:  .9M and a 20 mill opening

The Visit:  1 mill and opened to 25 mill

Purge 2:  2.6 and almost 30

Shallows:  1.3 and 16.8

 

LO is going over 20 almost for sure.

MI5 also started at 8 PM, Star Trek started at 7. 55M should happen at the very least

Holy $#%^*!!!!!

 

Biggest OW for an Indian movie incoming. Just needs 5M  

[WrathOfHan]

I've been listening to Sabotage on loop. Release the damn numbers, Paramount.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Man that Kabali # is insane! Would be decent for STB, great for LO, awful for Ice Age.

What a summer and year for horror films. 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Conjuring 2, The Shallows, The Purge, now Lights Out. The genre is really having a comeback this year and especially this summer. And more films are coming out that also look like they'll have solid box office runs! 

[grey ghost]

Now we get estimates for Thursday previews?

[grey ghost]

How did so many people know Ice Age 5 was going to do bad? Even a few months back people knew.

[grey ghost]

Paramount only has two franchises bigger than Star Trek (Mission Impossible and Transformers).

 

Three if you want to include WWZ.

Wouldn't say WWZ is bigger than ST in any way. We have no idea if it has staying power. Plus the past few ST films were all bigger hits than WWZ.

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. 

If there was any fatigue for talking cartoon animals, Pets wouldn't be as big as it is.

 

I think this is confined to the Ice Age movies.

I was using WW numbers.

You know it's honestly a good thing Paramount has less franchises because THEY TAKE FOREVER TO RELEASE NUMBERS

So bigger than all bollywood movies as well. Impressive.

[That One Girl]

Some comparisons to Collision Course:

 

Toy Story 3 - 4M

Despicable Me - 590k

Monsters university - 2.6M

Despicable Me 2 - 4.7M

Rio 2 - 400k

HTTYD2 - 2M

Minions - 6.2M

Angry Birds - 800k

 

It only came 50k above Angry Birds...and Angry Birds had later preview times and was released when schools weren't out

This is a Rajinikanth movie, it transcends industry borders and language

 

Apparently the movie is just ok, but since it is Rajni's first big movie in 6 years it has become an event in itself.

If Star Trek missed 50 m it would spell disaster for Paramount.

I don't know why anyone would be surprised by Ice Age's numbers. It looks like a turd, coupled with terrible reviews and is thrown in during a time when families just got through Dory, SLOP, and The BFG.
