That's actually very unexpected and sorta, possibly might be good news.

 

Funny, I assumed the opposite.

i just saw the trailer for assassins creed at the pictures today. the idea of having over 2 hours of that is a pretty fear inducing one.

I'm amazed how often deadline is either 20% over or 20% under on est/projections and seldom in the sweet spot. 

It's like they're either on coke or heroin.

This is obviously a coke weekend. ?

I'm not, but then again I've been following Deadline's box office posts for years now, so I know how wrong, inaccurate and cuckoo they are when it comes to early number.

If ever a movie called for a 90-min runtime....

[Arlo245]

Could Moana's estimate go up? I'm hoping for 6.5-7 million. 

[seduh]

I don't believe in the FB number, it seems overestimated. But at leats it's a good sign that it can avoid the +60% drop. I expect around $20 which is really good.

Variety Friday and Projections

 

Moana: $6.3 million/ $28-$30 m  (would be 30.7m with Frozen multi)

Beasts: $5.3 million /up to $20m  (think $18-19 likely)

Allied: $8m

Strange: $6-7m

Arrival: $6m  (disappointing if true especially with expansion)

Trolls: $5m

Incarnate: $1m /$3m (2.5m more likely)

 

I wanted to go with 30m in the derby based on Wednesday's number but i didnt believe it would hold better than 50% when frozen couldnt 

 

these numbers look a lot more likely than deadlines crack induced hallucinations

Do people know the twists and turns of AC? It needs that runtime.

How many silly parkour diving/running sequences do you need?

A movie based on a video game has a plot?

i'm gonna refer to Kurzel's last film. If macbeth can get everything done in under 2 hours this shouldn't be a thing.

Lmao. Yeah. I can't wait to see the reactions. It is going to be hilarious because of how insane the whole thing is.

Every time I see the trailer, the future prison sequences kill all interest I have. Cut those out and the film might be mildly compelling... On video... In 2020... When I have nothing better to do.

[Valonqar]

Variety is dogshit when it comes to weekend predictions based on matinee or whatever they are using. They constantly overestimate movies they stan for (Age of Ultron, nuff said, anyone remembers those weekly overestimations?). That 6-ishM Arrival number clearly didn't take into consideration that it gained over 400 theaters this weekend. 8M sounds right.
