Saturday is going to be the real story either with a jump or no jump/drop. 

Is there any other options? 

[Noctis]

What are you guys predicting for Saturday? I'm guessing $55m. I really can't see it hitting $60m.

Thinking about 20% jump from True Friday to 57-58 mil

15-20% jump, probably. $55m sounds fair.

[Cookson]

So, Kong needs 12m today to hit 100m. Possible?

63.8m

58m

42.5m

 

I always keep getting numbers below BvS LOL

 

If it does hit $60m...then that would be incredible. 

[Noctis]

Also, over here...Belle absolutely murdered Kong mercilessly. 

 

All the BaTB showings hit 90%+ capacity but there were a couple of showings for Kong that ranged only 5-20%. 

 

EDIT: Also...80% of BaTB showings across the country are in 2D. The rest is either 3D or IMAX.

This is expected to top BvS OW?

$126m adjusted OW for a film that no one really likes that much. Too bad they didn't take their chips and leave the table & instead did a sequel.

 

That, and they waited too long to do a sequel as well.

Looks like it has a decent chance, doesn't say much about BvS though... BvS was a solid disappointment.

1/3 of that money probably came thanks to Avatar/3D goodwill. I wish How to Train Your Dragon had been released on that date instead.

That's why Disney deserves a lot of credit with the ad push that took advantage of that goodwill.

God, I will never forget how I fell in love with that movie. I watched it 4 times in theaters. It was so wonderful.

Man, I tried to book tickets for me and my niece to see this shot-by-shot remake movie today, and everything from noon till 5:30 is sold out at both theaters, and they had showings every half hour. I still think this is more frontloaded and liable to stay flat from true Friday than people think, BUT I might very well be wrong if my area is any indication - hugely outpacing Thursday and Friday. I'd eat crow if so.

Probably, by a few million. 

[Noctis]

Imagine it tops DH2 by $100k. 

[Ozymandias]

hmmm... looks like Get Out is fading

Oh, and Emma was so fucking gorgeous in the film.

True, but everything I'm looking at is reserved seating, and even tonight's shows are selling as high right now as Friday's night shows did five minutes before they started. Everything is hugely outpacing yesterday in terms of raw seats sold through the end of the night, and this has changed alot over just the last hour. Then again, last night was Spring Break and St. Patty's in the party capital of America, so skewed.
