Hoping the PG rating gives it more walks than ant man and Jurassic fallen kingdom for premieres 

 

Jurassic Park is the King of walkups. Cant see Pikachu beating it.

So, based on your theatre, anything between 7-10m is likely purely dependent on how walkups fare?

 

That would actually be fantastic. Unless your theatre is unusually overperforming

The only outlier in that group imo is Fallen Kingdom. I don’t think my theater is overperforming anymore given the comps that @Porthos has also given us. I believe we have a similar range for Ant-Man in terms of percentages for Thursday night. But as he mentioned, the lack of PLF screens and matinees may dent it’s numbers a bit so I’d decrease the ranges just a bit.

$5M-$6M previews is what I’m hoping for. 

 

I will be using Menominee Falls to track Pikachu’s previews tonight. It has PLFs at least at this theater and the second biggest in Wisconsin so there’s some good in that and sales look decent.

 

Cause I’m lazy:

The hustle has 11% on rotten tomatoes lol

Replace your agent and choose better movies Anne......Seeing her career going to waste is such disappointing.

Movies like The Hustle is part of the reason why moviegoers aren't spending cash on comedies these days.

Not a chance. Maybe 50% of walk-ups. That movie personified fun.

Even if I doubt this possibility, this is the one I'm also hoping for - I love optimism on the boards:)...

I'm hoping for 67+ on each. Close enough and still good for both.

Why not 69 for both?

Because that was your prediction and I won't steal it. I'd be "excited" by that result.

Anything over $65M should lock $200M DOM, while $60M gives it a good chance, providing it plays like a family film.

 

Personally still sticking to $50M-$60M OW, but that’s provided it plays less like a family film.

[cdsacken]

I wouldn't say lock. Depends on WOM and May is packed. Could easily see 67/180 type result.

I don’t know how this doesn’t play like a family friendly movie

It depends on how it plays honestly. If it is more family friendly on OW even with Aladdin, Memorial Day should off set the fall and Godzilla 2 will help it thanks to double screenings.

Yeah definitely could do 200 easily just not a lock. It's got end game all month, then everything else then it's late legs will be awful with the slate of stuff coming out. Seems like every movie is gonna have to tough. Lots of good stuff in the pipeline coming.

Legendary pictures will have a good month with Detective pikachu and Godzilla 

[Nova]

I don’t really like using the words locked when it comes to box office but maybe that has more to do with me being burned after using that term than anything else

End game comes to mind. I'm back to conservative mode haha. Well conservative for me at least.

Pika is a sub $60m OW for me now after seeing it.

My showing was like half-filled seat. EG has more 2D screens + all IMAX sold out.

 

Looking foward to KOTM through.
