Seriously, Storks' run makes no freakin sense!

Being the only animated movie on the market for a while certainly helped. It (along with every other holdover this weekend, really) is about to get sliced and diced due to the competition and the heavy theater loss this weekend.

75 is awfully low for those late nights. The level of front-loadedness with MCU this year seems to be hitting a fever pitch. I'm really unsure if these films can do above 2.5x anymore regardless of WOM.

I'm definitely taking that Doctor Strange number with a grain of salt. Even as an MCU movie that is basically playing as a sequel, I don't think it's going to be that frontloaded.

Glad that the margin is higher now. Hope it cracks the 30M mark, and does better through late night shows.

Wait for Deadline. Variety said that Suicide Squad will make $155m. They're clueless

[moviesRus]

Yeah, gotta wait for those college kids to get high first!

it's a big weekend thread; this'll get buried probably but hey, go vote this weekend:

Sweet, if it follow Thor, that gives us a 78-85M OW

[MovieMan89]

 

So some recent non-huge ensemble MCU IM's with rth's range put it at

 

Thor 2:

77-83

 

Ant-Man:

75-80

 

Cap 2:

74-79

 

GotG:

72-77

 

 

[JohnnyGossamer]

Great to hear from Rth. Expect his next update to go a little higher and this end up somewhere over $31M and somewhere just above $80M for the OW.

It's their long range forecast from today.

I know, but seemingly they reposted their last one. What I learned via the reaction-posts of the others to my post giving the link to the - only seemingly - 'new' long range forecast. I didn't realise it, as I didn't look jnto BO.com... the last few months.

Have fun!

Honestly I'm shocked that BO is still predicting that Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk will go that high. It's going to flop big time, especially on such a crowded date.

= $72m-$83m?

Not that far away from the most eekend predictions... in a way

= not meant as an estimate by me

[MovieMan89]

I still think that's really frontloaded for the late nights. Thought OD would be mid 30's going by that.

I think Hacksaw Ridge will probably beat it next weekend.

It's now opening in only 2 theaters (1 in NY, 1 in LA) next weekend. It goes wide on the 18th (against Fantastic Beasts, Edge of Seventeen, and Bleed for This).
