$36M is where I have it landing as well. Won't break out, but the combo of the Disney brand, Oprah + Reese drawing power, and aggressive marketing campaign should prevent it from approaching "flop" status.

[MovieMan89]

WiT will pull ahead on MT tomorrow if it keeps this pace up. 

[WrathOfHan]

Pulse:

 

1. Wrinkle

2. Black Panther

3. Red Sparrow

4. Wrinkle 3D

5. Strangers

[Morieris]

What an exciting weekend.

 

Saving the best for last 

[Curtis1986]

those pre sales are looking very very good for AWIT. This will have a very heavy turn out with Urban parents. How is it doing on MT. Any updates.

1. BP - 30.1%
2. AWiT - 21.9%
3. Red Sparrow - 6.9%
4. Death Wish - 4.3%
5. Game Night - 4.3%

[Curtis1986]

 I wonder if it will match or overtake BP #1 spot. Seems to have had a late surge in buzz this week.

[TwoMisfits]

MT.com...keeps getting tighter...

29.6% Black Panther

21.7% Wrinkle in Time, A

6.4% Red Sparrow

5.2% Peter Rabbit

4.3% Game Night

I honestly think Wrinkle pushes to 40m at this point... but we shall see. Will be a good solid weekend for the Box Office in general from the looks of things.

[MovieMan89]

I think 50m is in play. Should pass BP on MT by the end of the day, and I honestly didn't even expect that. Would be pretty damn gratifying to see it hit 50m after all the crap that's been spewed over it lately.

My theater is getting A Wrinkle in Time on 3 screens, Gringo, Hurricane Heist, Strangers, and Thoroughbreds this weekend. Plus a sneak preview for Love, Simon on Saturday (Fox must've added it just a few hours ago).

They're also getting The Leisure Seeker (that Donald Sutherland/Helen Mirren movie that she got a random Golden Globe nod for) as well. It's opening at quite a few theaters around me actually.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

If A Wrinkle in Time breaks out it will be the first sci fi hit since Arrival!!

[WrathOfHan]

Tonight at my theater:

 

Wrinkle in Time: 29/113

Strangers: 11/63

Gringo: 8/78

Hurricane Heist: 2/67

 

Wonder will probably end up being the best comp for WIT; that finished at 40 tickets in an auditorium with 35 fewer seats.

But i want @WrathOfHan's club to succeed

[Boxofficerules]

The Strangers is at 3 on Pulse.

[Curtis1986]

I may be wrong but I'm having a hard time seeing a wrinkle in time doing anything less than 40 million. 

[CaptainJackSparrow]

If A Wrinkle in Time goes over 50 mil this weekend, I can see it being #1 for two weekends in a row.
