35 // 45 od (4.5x previews)

52.5 (+50%)

40.5 (-23%)

= 138 (13.8x)

 

Thinking 14x for preview to ow multi. Malef2's 16x would be tough to approach.

$135 To $145 in between with $9 To $10 M previews  .. final count will depend on walk-ins & Wom

So the November record is.... out the window?

Early to talk about life time .. need to see OW than wom will indicate but still it can get 3.8 X legs to reach $532 M ..

@Jedi Jat what do you think the previews will be ? given the additional info now ?

[a2k]

F2 is gonna do stellar over Thanksgiving weekdays and 2nd weekend. That's going to be a story bigger than the ow. The huge sales have been made in real, whether you count them over the ow or not. If they don't show up in the ow they will become visible over the next 10-days, nowhere else to go.

 

On a separate note how insane was Shrek2's 120 ow 15 years back in 2d.

Way too early to rule it out. We still don't know what the Fri/Sat bump will be. From PS it's looking huge.

Man and then Shrek the Third squandered all that goodwill from Shrek 2 ( I actually enjoyed the 4th one quite a bit).

2.62x legs for an animation in 2007 era. Ugh!

 

AIW was opposite in reception, of a contrasting genre legs-wise, also a third in the franchise and managed an extremely creditable 2.62x years later in the previews era after setting the ow record (If not for previews getting heavier it would have blown past 2.62). But for Shrek3 to do those legs 12 years back was like a turd in the wind (Venom did 2.66x btw).

I honestly cannot remember the last time a movie tracking for a $100M+ opening had so few showtimes on Thursday night locally. It’s on par with Shazam! and less than Detective Pikachu and Aladdin.

I honestly have no fucking clue. I thought as we got closer to preview night it’s Thursday showtimes would see a better jump but that hasn’t been the case. And it’s not like it hasn’t been selling. At the one theater I would track (AMCa), it’s seat sold is actually well ahead of the three movies mentioned.

Well, it is just a 103 minute movie (and as far as I know, there's no short before it).
