That would point to a significantly lower opening than Suicide Squad for example.

103-113mil

Since NYC got taken care of, I decided to take a look at the showings around me. I did the Philadelphia area. I usually take a look at Thursday nights for all tent poles 24 hours before previews start. 

 

Im only doing Thursday night (as of right now.) So far its well behind BvS and CW. But that's to be expected in my opinion. It's also behind GOTG2 and Suicide Squad, as well as Deadpool. However the latter didn't have 3D showtimes so even though WW is behind it in terms of tickets for this area, I still think it'll be above DP's preview number.

 

I think anywhere from $12-15M is probably where it's headed for Thursday as of right now.

 

I will do a whole weekend check in tomorrow....and actually provide the amount of showtimes/sell outs.

It was at 93% for a bit but then a very negative review was deleted.    I've seen grades changed before but never that unless embargo was broken.  

That's rotten review for Baywatch.So They quickly delete it

I think $100m+ OW is looking more likely, i will be pleasantly surprised if it does more

Same.  I just want it to hit $100m, anything over is gravy. 

[miketheavenger]

WW doesn't need to reach SS's OW to be a huge success. It's got a lower budget and will probably have much better legs, so I'm sure WB will be very happy with 100-110m, and you should be, too.

[Lordmandeep]

I do not see any indication from local theaters this is going to open near SS level.

 

It would require a massive amount of walk up business on Sat and Sunday imo

First MT update of the morning:

WW: 49.2%

POTC: 16.0%

Big news in the online ticketing game: http://investor.regmovies.com/news-and-events/press-releases/2017/05-31-2017-214442311

 

 

Regal tickets will no longer link to Fandango from their website and will go through Atom instead. Tickets can still be bought on Fandango and MT, but everything from Regal will redirect to Atom

 

I like it! Fandango is prone to messing up, although I admit it's often in my favor. I want to pay for some movies, damn it.

 

Does Atom have that "convenience fee"? Never used them before.

Dominating Twitter, RT, Fandango, and has exploded on MT.

"Warner Bros. is being more conservative and suggesting $65 million-$70 million domestically, considering tracking has been unreliable as of late."

 

 

It makes sense. But the hype for WW is only growing, reviews were much better than expected and word of mouth will hopefully be fantastic, so I believe it can beat tracking.

Also of note, CU is tracking in the $25 million range. (It also apparently only costed $38M to produce...wow.)

[FantasticBeasts]

Obviously they expect way more than $65m...

What makes sense is that If this does $100m you will have titles like "Huge OW for WW" "Beats expectations by a large margin" and so on..

If they were saying $90-100.

An $100m weekend would be seen as "I line with expectations"

We can all remember Disney saying $120m for Beauty and many other examples.
