Because Boss Baby has its previews included in its Friday number. So it's true Friday number is actually $10.5M. 

No true is 12 ,Deadline is estimating 13.5 including 1.5 Thursday

Gokira won't be happy with that PR drop

Sounds like the real victim of Boss Baby's breakout isn't BatB, but Power Rangers. Makes sense when you consider that it's been playing similarly to a family film all week.

I'm really excited to see what movie he stans for next.

[Frozen]

Is Deadline taking into consideration that today is the first day of Spring Break for many people?

[commonsense88]

Deadline estimated BATB last Friday as 21mil ended up 23.6 against PR, wouldn't be surprised if 12 turns out to be closer to 13.5.

Since when? I don't remember @RiffRanger or others saying he speaks for us. Just seems because you hate the series. You choose to lump us all together.

Ghost in the Shell bombed. It seems to be heavily frontloaded.

Waiting on BOM's summary of this record-breaking March.

 

[RiffRanger]

I'm holding out hope Power Rangers can improve Saturday and Sunday.  Its international numbers won't be impressive this week since it's not opening anywhere significant (I think Argentina is the biggest market getting it this weekend, but I could be wrong) but it opens in some big markets next weekend.  So, yeah, I'm hoping it has better retention than the projections are expecting but, it's looking like China and Japan may be the last chance for this movie to make a decent amount of money.

C'mon, everyone should've seen this coming. 

You're more middlebrow than I thought.

Assuming Deadline's Friday projections are correct, then Boss Baby could do the following if it followed Home's opening weekend (also opened on the last weekend in March):

 

Thursday Previews: $1.5 million

Real Friday: $12 million

Saturday: $17.5 million (+46%)
Sunday: $11.7 million (-33%)

TOTAL: $42.7 million

 

Beauty and the Beast's Friday is about a 99% increase from it's Thursday (of $6.05 million), and if it had about the same Saturday increase and Sunday drop as last weekend:

 

Friday: $12 million

Saturday: $19.4 million (+62%)

Sunday: $14.4 million (-26%)

TOTAL: $45.8 million

 

Of course Boss Baby could play out differently (on its path) and given these are very early Deadline numbers, the Friday numbers could end up being pretty different too.

 

Peace,

Mike

Yeah, just not looking good right now. Unless in China it shocks us with the numbers. Think it safe to say it was a failure for Lionsgate.

No I think he's talking about in North America. He said in Portugal GITS is doing really well unless that's changed of course.

Dreamworks and Fox promoted Boss Baby early and well. The trailers got good views as well (over 20M per trailer almost). The Subway promotions and the TV spots have been airing since the past 2+ months, and they didn't shy away from promoting it almost like "What if Trump was a literal baby?". Contrast with Captain Underpants which they don't seem to remember exists and are giving the minimal push possible.

Ghost in The Shell now at 43% on RT. Damn...:(

 

Boss Baby RT score keeps increasing and it's already higher than Ghost in the Shell's.
