Weekend #BoxOffice Estimates: #FateoftheFurious $100.18m; Boss Baby $15.5m; #BeautyandtheBeast $13.6m http://imdb.to/2pmrOU6

 

You guys called it, they fudged it over 100m for estimates.

 

[GiantCALBears]

Are we still waiting on a F8 weekend estimate or not in the title yet? 

[GiantCALBears]

$100m on the nose? Anyone ready to say this will be the last time the series sees this kind of opening?

Universal claiming the worldwide record now: $532.4m

 

$100.18m... Transformers 4 has a new team mate, lol.

PR and GITS are going to have some hilarious TC drops next week

Depends on whether 10 is truly the last ride.

USA is no longer the priority, years in the making but we've officially passed the point of making movies that Americans will like first. 

[franfar]

F8 will make enough OS to make a handsome profit. I don't think they'll stop.

Probably should be the end unless they want to James Bond this series and just reboot it every 5-10 years.

split has a nice comeback by jumping 300% with just adding 7 locations, double-feature with F8 certainly help

sad that universal was helping split, instead of GO

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:	$100,181,640	18.8%
+ Foreign:	$432,300,000	81.2%
= Worldwide:	$532,481,640

Fate of the Furious opening is what it is. The previous movie's performance was obviously an anomaly. That overseas total is insane, though.

 

Fine drops again for Boss Baby and Beauty and the Beast.

 

Very nice limited start for The Lost City of Z. Hopefully next weekend's expansion to 500 theaters goes well.

Incredible, is it still 1/3 of foreign gross that goes to Universal or is it more?

Biggest BO surprise of the DECADE

Hold your horses on that one. American Sniper has something to say about that

[eXtacy]

The foreign number is also suspect I think to get biggest global opening haha. Oh wow I have not seen this fudging since that Transformers movie.

The domestic performance was an anomaly you mean right? Appears OS is as strong as ever for this series.

Has nothing to do with double features. They added a shitload of dollar theaters, but it was only enough to give a TC increase of 7 because of losing so many first run theaters.
