280m according to BOM

 

As have several Harry Potter films before it, Beasts scored an "A" CinemaScore from opening day audiences. That being said, while this is the lowest opening for any film in J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World series of films, Beasts's opening is on par with the likes of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ($77.1m) and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ($77.8m), which went on to gross $292 million and $301 million respectively. Should Fantastic Beasts follow suit a domestic run anywhere from $284-290 million would be in the offing, though a safe expectation right now would seem to be around $275-280 million.

I want whatever he's drinking. 

Lololololololololololololol. That dude clearly doesn't realize that those opened during the week. If only there was a website that archived historical box office data...

According to all of the numbers and feedback it doesn't look like Moana really takes a core group of its audience.  

What are you thinking Moana does? $75m 5-day?

I dont know what numbers you have but it seems to me that Fantastic Beasts appeals to families, as does Moana.

 

Looks like only about 18% of the audience was under 18 years old.  This appealed to an older demographic and not families with young kids like Moana will.

Fantastic Beasts will drop at least 55% next weekend and then 60% the following weekend

Uhhhhh....

I think given the great WOM it does set the franchise to increase its OW for the next film. It's a shame it's not out until 2018.

Families didn't show up for FB, as some data already showed us. Only 18% of the audience was under 18 years old.

Lmao ahahahah holy shit. Those are official numbers.

[Avatree]

oh lol. Sorry.

 

anyway those numbers are never especially accurate so I haven't changed my mind. a poll from a select few cinemas is never going to be accurate.

[angeldelmito]

not bad for FB, i knew it wasn't coming close to 100M but glad it didnt flop either

Truly we live in a post-factual society.

I know the talk all week was how this was going to skew older, but doesn't that number still seem low?

The events of this entire month have shown us why we can't have nice things.
