Ethan Hunt Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 That doesn't seem very good. No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Not sure what to make of this. Doesn't look to be selling well wherever I look, but at least that wasn't under 1M. RT audience score is still fresh, which gives me hope WOM isn't awful throughout the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Wednesday night start so it's hard to get a good read on it yet. If it comes below $4M including previews today then yes, that is not good. FWIW sales at reserve seating theaters near me are looking to be very dismal today, so... Edited May 25, 2017 by filmlover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75Live Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Just now, Ethan Hunt said: That doesn't seem very good. No? Nothing wrong with it for being on a Wednesday and it's not exactly a movie people are going to rush out to see. Now I am not saying it will have a great weekend or anything, just this number really isn't anything, good or bad 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Oh right Wednesday start. Durrrrr. Excuse my lack of thinking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Some comparisons from Deadline for those wondering: The studio is currently comping Baywatch‘s evening cash to such mid-week R-rated comedies as We’re the Millers ($1.7M) and Let’s Be Cops ($1.2M). We’re the Millers went on to make a $6.8M Wednesday before legging out to a $26.4M three-day and $37.9M five-day. Let’s Be Cops earned $5.2M on its first day including previews, and then $17.8M over three and $26.2M over five. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Alien is selling better than Baywatch at my theater so far today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I think it's actually a pretty decent number. Everything is going to depend on word-of-mouth going forward but opening on a Wednesday before a long weekend I don't really think there's many people rushing out to see it. Also when I looked up to see how many shows were in Canada last night it was shockingly pretty bare. There were a few showings in Toronto Vancouver Edmonton Calgary and Montreal. But other than that it wasn't playing anywhere. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoMisfits Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I'm happy with this number - it keeps my chance for a $40M+ 5 day alive:). Reading the Rotten Tomatoes viewers, I think WOM will be good for this. It's no Citizen Kane, but it's a fun comedy for those who don't mind some occasional childish or low brow humor...and they try with the humor all movie, which is refreshing:)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAJK Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Only thing with that Millers comp is the fact that that was in August where summer weekdays were still in full effect. 1.25 could lead to a nearly 7M Thursday in mid may 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 ^^^^ But did Millers previews start at 7PM as well. This is not a good number. Especially for a movie which is a tv adaptation having Rock. Putrid reviews is not going to help. But over 5-days it should still do ok. Probably on par with tracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCKillswitch123 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Seems okay for a Wednesday opening. Less than the $1.84M from Central Intelligence, but that was a June release w/a Friday opening/Thursday previews. Probably gonna have a 3-day of somewhere under Alice 2.
