[Nova]

Is it too early to say I told you so in regards to Sausage Party.

 

[La Binoche]

Hi instead of wasting time on garbage like Suicide Squad go see Train to Busan! 

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

My sausage is throbbing with that #!!!

I'm dead at them predicting $15-20M for the weekend with a preview number like that. 

[Spectre]

$3.3M! It's happening... hold onto your buns.

Last night I said $3.5m on the way to $35m, I'll revise that slightly down to $33m. A fantastic number for a hard sell like this. I think legs will be strong enough to push it to $100m which is a huge success for a Rogen film period, never mind an R-rated animated film.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Yes, great number for Sasuage Party!

[WrathOfHan]

I want Tele's club to crumble on OW.

[Ethan Hunt]

Thats a good number

It'll do better than 10x the Thursday IMO.  12x - 15x is more likely.  I lean more towards the higher side of that.  $40M+ is in play.

Praise be the Sausage.

Early Twitter reactions seemed to be mixed to good. Lots of hyperbolic greats, but lots of confused and concerned tweets as well. 

 

Is it true SP's message is pro-atheism?

[YM!]

Yes! Great number for SP. $35M+ OW please.

[Eric the Ape]

That's a big Twinkie.
