Time to bet on SS's actuals :

 

over, under 130 OW ?

 

If the Sat estimate did not go up considerably from what RTH estimated - under.

How the heck are they estimating 135.1? That means a 33m Sunday off of a 37m Saturday compared to a 45m Friday. Why expect such an amazing hold going from Saturday to Sunday? These media sites should refrain from jumping the gun and reporting it doing better than Dory and Deadpool.

 

They're only reporting estimates given out by WB.  Just like they reported BvS doing $170m so WB could say it was their biggest ever weekend when it wasn't while almost everyone pretty much knew it was overestimated.

West Coast either came through big time in the late shows or there is some fudge going on here.

Yeah, I need to see those Saturday and Sunday numbers, sounds fishy. Changing my Nine Lives prediction to 5M from 8M had absolutely no effect on my Derby score  I will miss 1k points in the Summer Game but oh well.

20% drop on Sunday?

We never know the real cost of any movie, this is nothing new.

We know quite a bit about some movies:

 

http://www.forbes.com/sites/csylt/2015/01/27/disney-reveals-guardians-of-the-galaxy-was-over-budget-at-232-million/#430b38b22f36

"Media giant Walt Disney has revealed that the production cost of last summer’s blockbuster comic book movie Guardians of the Galaxy came to $232.3 million which was “slightly over the agreed budget.”"

I can't find it now but somewhere it says gotg got back 30m in tax inventives making the net budget about 200 even.

Page 12 says total spending was 316, incentives of 48m, the net budget 268. That puts it in spitting distance of the 250 that's published.

YO the villain from this and the villain from TASM2 are starring in a MEGA-BUDGET SCIFI MOVIE next year the world isn't ready

 

Which movie is this?

[picores]

Saturday better than expected. That's not an unreasonable drop for Sunday...would be funny if estimate holds or even increases.

[WrathOfHan]

Under Deadpool is still possible (for the sake of my Casino, STAY OVER!)

Looks delicious.

[MrPink]

I am okay with WB propping up the Sat/Sun #'s a bit and siphoning off the week days 

 

It will assuredly drop closer to 25% or so for Sunday unless there was spillover demand for some reason. If Saturday isn't too crazily propped up, I would say we're gonna see more like 65.3 + 38 + 29, so something more like 131.5 - 132 million.

 Warner Bros. is calling Suicide Squad‘s opening weekend at $135.1M this morning, which is on the high end of where the industry sees it too. They are putting up a high-end estimate.

[JennaJ]

Need RTH or nilephelan to tell us if that Sat number is real or just intended to save face until actuals come out.

Maybe a bit of both.  They needed to bump Sat up a bit if they were going to get in that $135.1m otherwise they'd have to go under a 20% Sun drop.

Apparently the West Coast has more of the demographic that likes this movie.

[RandomCat]

Wakes up. Sees number.

 

Well, fucking hell that's a fucking drop.
