Deadline and Variety predicting $15M OW....off of $3.3M previews. This should be the time when they realize that updating their articles completely and not just inserting numbers is actually important. Because wow they look dumb. 

 

It's just too early in L.A. for them to care. 

[75Live]

it's obvious it's only going to get $15 mil for the weekend since it will be the most frontloaded Friday ever.  OD will be around $5 so a true day of about $1.7 mil, it will do around $6 on Saturday and around $4 on Sunday.  It's simple math 

 

 

 

 

 

yeah they do need to learn to take out some numbers when they update articles or stuff like this happens lol 

[YM!]

This may seem crazy but I think there is a small chance it opens about the same as Ted ($54.1M) 

[baumer]

@CJohn......i...I don't even.....never mind.

[DAJK]

3.3... that's kinda small for a sausage don't you think? Was hoping more for 7-8M.

 

So how many weird sexual puns do you guys think the industry will use to report their numbers this weekend?

Seems.....

 

 

 

Ted was far more mainstream.  It also only had previews in 1090 theaters

I wouldn't get too optimistic at this point. I would say 12-13M+ is possible for today, but I'm still just going to shoot for 30M weekend.

[miketheavenger]

While I agree that $40m is probably too high, I also can't see it missing $30m. It'd be ridiculously front-loaded if it missed a X10 from previews.

30M is locked. 40M is possible. Beating SS for 1st place is possible too. MESS.

No.

 

Squad has held somewhat better than I expected so I believe the 70% drop is completely off the table. Now, I'm thinking it lands somewhere between $40M and $45M this weekend... Likely smack dab in between the two figures. Either way, Sausage will not gross that much. Then again, I'd love to see it happen!

Maybe it's a typo and Deadline's actually predicting a $15M OD for Sausage?

Pete's Dragon did $0 from previews. When are the meltdowns going to start? Lionsgate to buy Disney in the next 18 months.

[Maxmoser3]

A big win for Sony! From the looks of it, Ghostbusters broke even. Sausage Party has an $19 million production budget.

I dunno. But they're gonna try to blow our minds, that's for sure.

No, they are really insane. The latest...

Quote

B.O. Analysts say though that there’s no correlation between Thursday night previews and the weekend, hence the naughty toon is look to tip $20M in the face of Warner Bros.’ August behemoth Suicide Squad which is looking at $51M-$54M. With a film like Sausage Party, late night showtimes are lucrative.
