No. Just no. 

 

Next thing ya know movies are gonna be like "Afternoon previews!" And start previews at 12PM....the day before release. 

 

How far we've come. Midnight previews. TO THIS! 

Isn't that what they do in the UK with the blockbusters, a week of previews rolled into the opening weekend? I remember that from following Harry Potter back in the day.

 

 at The Nut Job 2 actually happening, I hope they keep reporting the tracking for ages like the first one.

3pm showings for NutJob2 make more sense though than 7pm or 10pm showings. 

Yes, but having no previews makes even more sense...it's not like animated movies have huge previews anyway...

A week of previews? 

 

I mean....I guess. Money is money but like what's the point of having a week of preview.

Just call it THURSDAY NUMBERS, calling 3PM showtime by the name previews is a sick JOKE and cheating!

Every movie opens on Thursday here (unless there's a holiday on, ie Guardians 2). Some of the big ones have previews on Wednesday.

 

It's nice. I'm surprised they haven't started doing that in America yet.

Pulse

 

1. DT

2. Dunkirk

3. GT

4. AB

5. SMH

 

DT at #1 might look pretty good but it's selling about as many tickets as AB was this time last week (120 tickets every 10 minutes vs. 110). Looking around 20M still I think but I wouldn't be surprised by a little less.

BOM/Numbers release schedule notes:

 

BOM cleaned up August 25 quite a bit; they only list Leap, All Saints, and Birth of the Dragon as going wide. The Numbers doesn't list All Saints as wide, otherwise the other two are the same.

The Numbers says Stronger is going wide on September 22 while BOM has it as limited.

The Numbers is also listing some DTV-looking animated film called Gnome Alone as going wide on October 13.

Still think we're in for a fight between Dunkirk and Girls Trip for #1 and The Dark Tower, at best, opens in third place.

I guess Weinstein's just dumping Tulip Fever and running. Probably for the best, the movie's fate has been sealed for a while.

 

Stronger will likely be a 500-600 theater release. I'm not expecting it to do very well either way. Patriots Day flopped and that movie had a lot more going for it.

Can't see Girls Trip doing more than 14 million this weekend (a fantastic drop nonetheless), but the dailies realistically point closer to 13 million.

 

Guessing Dunkirk does around 16 million give or take half a million.

 

I think Dark Tower is just gonna barely take #1. Or I don't see less than #2 judging by pre-sales so far

Fox did this with Captain Underpants, its gross was £2.5m for seven days of previews for number 2 but it's actual weekend was only £1.2m, only enough for fifth.  I wish they'd change it as its gotten ridiculous where you can have a nine day opening and have it counted for the three day weekend

I remember them doing it with Neighbors. Look at that second weekend drop!

am i the only one here who is surprised that Megan Leavey is not on the top 5 for MT?

[DAJK]

I think the low low predicts for Dark Tower are getting a bit out of hand. Yesterday someone threw out 10M (10-13M but 10 was included). No way does it go that low IMO, even Eragon managed to open in the low 20's 10 years ago.
