Star Trek came back from Final Frontier. It came back from Nemesis (and Insurrection). It will rise again from this less grievous injury.

 

Just actually lower the budget this time around.

It came back from Nemesis but that took seven years.

 

Star Trek The Final Frontier, as bad as it was, actually made decent money.

@Rth

 

Sorry to disturb you, but would you be so kind as to reveal to us Saturday's numbers?

Rth has wars, famine, and the devil to worry about...he can't be troubled with a measly  $22M opener.

Well if he turned up for the 3 bombs last weekend, he might turn up for a hit film now.

Good jump for SS. Is that an increase for DB? Where's SP?

That's fantastic for Don't Breathe.

 

$25m locked down now. 

 

Did you say "measly $22m" @Bishop54?

Wasn't it going to get IMAX because Ben Hur was such a flop?

 

I'm pissed that Beyond never got IMAX.  Not just for the Box Office, I wanted to see it in IMAX.

 

 

I want Beyond to get a sequel.  I think it was the better movie, although I thought both were fun.  It came out at a bad time and had incompetent marketing, so Paramount has only itself to blame, and I don't think we should have to suffer for it.

 

But I'd watch a Bourne sequel, too, if and only if it were Matt Damon.

 

STB opened well over 300  Imax screens from memory think close to 400

This weekend SS, JB and some SLOP dominate Imax, couple still with BH and even STB

That's a fine ass 68-69% increase for SS. 12m should happen. So a 42-43% weekend drop. I think 315m is possible.

Thanks, mate. As always, you're the best.

[a2k]

12 could happen for SS. Even with a 40% Sun drop it gets close.

3.26 + 5.4 (+65.64%) + 3.24 (-40%) = 11.90

 

Because BVS was going against TJB and it's Mon-Thu were as it weaker, it made 11.7 (link) over this 'week'  : 4th weekend (9m) + following Mon-Thu (2.7m) = 11.7m

SS should beat that 7-day total over the weekend itself : 4th weekend (11.9m) + following Mon-Thu (4.1m) = 16.0m

That would give them weekly totals of,

 BVS    SS

209.0  179.1

64.2    62.5

29.0     29.2

11.7     16.0 (estimate)

 

The gap in the 5th week will be even bigger thanks to LD.

That is an increase for DB, since it made 8.3M real Friday (1.875M in previews). Absolutely fantastic. 

 

And if it has a 24% Sunday drop alas Lights Out, that'll put its OW at 27.6M. Should it pull off that number, it'll have officially dethroned The Final Destination (2009) as the highest grossing OW ever for any film released in the last weekend of August. It'll also be the third biggest horror OW in August, behind Alien Vs. Predator and Freddy Vs. Jason. Keep in mind that all of those were new entries in well established franchises, whereas DB is an original horror without any big starpower or a James Wan-like accomplished director. Even Lights Out had the advantages of being based on a very successful YouTube short and having Wan's name attached as producer - DB has none of that.

Great number for Don't Breathe. Word of mouth clearly through the roof. 

 

Nice holds for the family movies too this weekend. 

[a2k]

315 looking very real for SS.

Was thinking it would end up #7 on WB domestic list after displacing HOBBIT1.

But now it has a small shot at least for #6 displacing HP1 (317.575m). (Of course, unadjusted )

Rentrak will update in about 7 hours, same with Screen Daily.  Here's a great link for international updated numbers:

That's a bigger increase than GotG on the same Saturday (55%). Great for SS. And huge for DB

It's a terrific number for DB.  But it's not going to drop the same as LO.  That's a mid summer movie, this one has school to deal with.  I'd say a drop of around 35% could happen.  That has nothing to do with the movie, just the time of year it's out.
