They have Monday estimates already?

in addition to the-numbers chart

Quote

SING:

The film earned an "A" from Cinema Score, played 51% male and had 61% "family moviegoers" among its ranks. Kids under the age of 13 made up 39% of the audience, which is encouraging in this era of "kids films for adults" franchises. The demos were 52% Caucasian, 24% Hispanic, 13% African-American, 7% Asian and 4% "other.” Oh, and it earned another $54m overseas for a $130.7m worldwide cume.

 

Quote

Passengers over the $30 million mark over its six-day debut. The $110m-budgeted Jennifer Lawrence/Chris Pratt sci-fi thriller earned a solid $7.5m Christmas for a $14.5m Fri-Sun weekend, $23.1m Fri-Mon frame and $30.4m Wed-Sun debut.  ... It's not insane to hope that overseas audiences (star power+sci-fi) will ride to the rescue.  ..

 

Quote

Patriots Day into seven theaters on Wednesday, and they walked away with a solid $74.4k Christmas Day gross for a $161.3k Fri-Sun/$241.3k Fri-Mon/$336.7k Wed-Sun frame. The Mark Wahlberg-starring/Peter Berg-directed Boston Marathon bombing drama, which hopes to position itself as a late-in-the-game Oscar contender, goes wide on Jan. 13, 2017.

I'd forgotten how mediocre The Lorax's legs were given its huge opening, I think Sing will finish in the middle of The Lorax and DM although there is a good chance it can beat DM's domestic gross. The OS total for Sing is much better than previous weeks but it's likely not going to hit the heights of Minions and SLOP, more likely DM OS numbers at best.

 

Hidden Figures looks like it'll be a success when it goes wide but I think it'll not do well OS similar to Fences

Comparing Passengers to Dragon Tattoo, Girl had made 21M by Sunday.  Passengers is ahead by 9M, which is an encouraging sign.

might gotten drowned here, but has anyone an idea for the reasons to say that (Forbes)

Of course, since Rogue One made around $32 million today (???), there is a reasonable chance that Rogue One will earn more this week than it did last week, like maybe 62% more

Just got tickets for La La Land this afternoon, looks like the showing will probably be sold out.

Sony's underrated PASSENGERS landed with $7.5M on Xmas Day, $30M its 1st 6 days. Critics missed the boat on this one.

Mendelson is drunk.

So it looks like Deadline reported averages for the WEEKEND, not the Day. 

WTF?

It could pass 100m after all.

Quote

In other "new wide release" news, Paramount/Viacom Inc. expanded the Denzel Washington/Viola Davis drama Fences to 2,223 theaters yesterday after keeping it in limited release for the last 10 days. The August Wilson adaptation earned a smashing $6.688 million opening day, the third-biggest Christmas day gross of the year. Obviously, long term predictions are challenging for this $20-$25m production (Joy opened with $6.9m on Christmas and ended up with $56m domestic last year), but this is a smashingly impressive single-day debut for a film that will absolutely be a big part of the Oscar conversation. It has earned $11.528m thus far.

 

Fences and Joy - yeah, that's a valid comparison in terms of budget, subject matter, star power and Awards chances

They like to say this from time to time, and no matter the movie, it's so passive-aggressive and, well, wrong. Critics aren't supposed to rate movies based on how they think audiences will like them.

Especially since it's $20m+ less than they were projecting a week ago.     Sony though tried to keep expectations down with their $35m/6 day projection.

I think something like War Horse would be the most appropriate comparison (Christmas release on Sunday, awards chances, similar theater count).

[That One Girl]

Passengers definitely has 100M chances with that number though.  Girl with the Dragon Tattoo had 21M from Wed.-Sun. back in 2011.

[Poseidon]

Those articles are hopeless. I'm really shocked at how bad they deliver those numbers. Give them to us, we will write you articles with accurate numbers and also for free.
