1.45M in less than 2000 theaters? Holy shit, we could be looking at 25M+, possibly 30M. THE DREAM IS NOT DEAD, YOU GUYS 

After the sub-15m predictions I heard this week, this is great news.

So if Stranged topped 110m last night then it had a nearly 20% increase. Will be curious to see how the other films behaved. 

 

Also, I read BOMs weekend preview a little bit ago and it made my head spin. Does Brad seriously not know or realize WHY Thor 2 behaved the way it did and why Strange increased as much as it did on Tuesday?? He makes himself seem more like an idiot than normal with that article this weekend. 

Monday was the 11th for Thor, vets day

 

All movies will bump Thursday

Thats really good right?

Relatively speaking, yes

[eXtacy]

Its a good number but remember those previews will be inflated by the holiday tomorrow!

[stripe]

Amazing start for Arrival!

 

Legs should be great also. If it grosses +25M in its OW, we should be eyeing a 100M DOM

Get out, ghost! *slap*

[terrestrial]

question:

this thread will end as the weekend thread, right?

 

Does Thursday still get an own thread or has that changed in the time I wasn't here?

typo, grammar

[FilmBuff]

Just got back from Arrival.

 

Holy shite. 

 

Arrival is the best film of the year. Thanks Villanueva(sp?) for making another great movie. I'm already a huge fan of sci fiction movies so I was already sold on it. But this movie was unbelievable! Third act reveal had me in tears.

 

Seeing again this Sunday. Just couldn't wait any longer and purchased tickets to see it today.

 

A+

 

Will have full review in rtm thread.

[CJohn]

FIRST LIONSGATE AND NOW PARAMOUNT.

 

Luckily he has WB next. Those will take care of him well and won't try to end his career.

[eXtacy]

So 6.2m Thursday

 

Fri 15.5m +150%

Sat 17.0m +10%

Sun 10.2m -40%

 

42.7m for Doctor Strange

6.2M for DS would mean around 24% increase. Not bad, but not great, actually

 

For the weekend...

14M (125%)

16M (15%)

9M (-45%)

39M 2nd weekend

Hype for This film!

Wow, I stand corrected on Arrival.  I didn't see that coming.

Holy hell that's what I'm talking about Arrival!  Paramount needs to expand the fucking theaters next weekend, 2,300 is a joke.  They even gave Ben-Hur 3,000... it's no wonder they're circling the toilet bowl...

So true. I hope this will not repeat other mishandlings like what they did to Flight.

The end of Peter Travers' review says it best: 

 

Though action fanboys might get antsy about the film's contemplative pace, patience pays off in a curve-throwing ending that fills you with a sense of wonder, not to mention shock and awe. Adams, her face a reflection of conflicting emotions, is simply stellar in an Oscar-buzzed performance of amazing grit and grace. Without her, Arrival might be too cerebral to warm up to. With her, the film gets inside your head and emerges as something intimate and epic, a linguistics odyssey through space and time. It's the stuff that dreams are made of.

I'm one of those campaigning for an Amy Adams oscar win. Like Leo, she's overdue.

She'll get hers soon but not this year. It's between Emma Stone and Natalie Portman.
