PR is all down to the Saturday. We don't know yet. Although solid Saturday increases over normal Friday seem to have become normal. 

 

Can someone do the math for all openers over the last 3 years?

 

Goodnight.

Variety is reporting approx $85m for B&B and $40m for PW.

From what I understand that's from midday Friday projections. It was posted at 1 PM yesterday.

Not surprised by the Life cinemascore, the ending is pretty divisive

Technically RTH said $13M-$15M first, and then you panicked and dismissed RTH.

Yeah hmm that's a tough one, go see a movie intended for 5-year-olds or see an adult sci-fi movie. Yeah gonna have to say Life on that one! Unless you're dragged by the brats to PR lol

 

Hmm. BATB is for little girls, and yet everyone seems to love it. ;-)

 

Seriously, nothing wrong in wanting to see PR as an adult...

How on earth would Power Rangers gross 42m from 15m friday. It needs to increase almost 40% minus previews to have a chance I think Power Rangers will be slightly more front loaded considering its a fanboy driven movie. I would say 14m saturday and 9m sunday for 38m weekend.

It updated an hour ago with Friday numbers. They had B&B at $23m Friday.

Did you know it was a fairly full on horror film before seeing it?  I didn't pay a lot of attention to the marketing but had the impression until a few days ago that it was an adult sci fi film. 

 

I wonder if the marketing attracted more of the Gravity crowd. 

 

No I did not know it was a full-on horror movie but I also knew that it was not a Gravity type film. I thought they made it pretty clear in the trailers that there was going to be a xenomorph of some kind that they were trying to contain. So that definitely gave it an alien kind of life.

Wow. Thats a horrible number for Life. So disappointed 

 

What's sadder is it's a good film, quite entertaining. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

This year's 1Q is well ahead of the past four years adjusted. Curious how it compares to the gold standard of 2002 but unfortunately BOM doesn't have the data for it.

Don't tell me they wanted a traditional ending.

China has experienced quite a bit of box office fraud. Can we really trust these numbers?

Power rangers can touch 45 to 50 I'm hoping

 

Lol.  Not a chance.

Why are you guys predicting such huge Saturday bumps for BatB? 65% would be absolutely crazy. I can't see much more than 50% tbh.

 

 

[Avatree]

Imo, Life looks like a straight to DVD movie.
