Mikros (Canada) is the animator for CU. Surprised the budget is so low.

 

Guess they pay animators peanuts in Canada...

Man of Steel midnights were $9M.

$12M were from Walmart screenings.

$9M+$34M=$43M OD(without Wallmart)

 

 

I know.  But looking at multiplier I don't count Walmart (especially sicne we don't even know how many tickets were actually used).  So I count from the Midnights and what then skews the w/e is that Sunday was flat for Father's Day instead of dropping $10m+

NBA finals game 1 was down 5% from last year so while I do believe it had an effect, I don't think it had as big as an effect as most folks on here were talking about. Especially because by the third quarter, the game was a blowout. 

The 3rd quarter is past 11pm on the east coast. Game didn't start until after 9pm. If you committed to watching the game, like I did then it was impossible to see Wonder Woman.

Either that person is high off his mind or you misread it because there is no way in hell CU is making 20-22 mil on FRIDAY.

It says it "will open to 3,434 theaters on Friday with an eye on 20-22m". To me that makes it sound like that's what it will do on Friday considering it says Friday

GOTG is probably the best comparison but that was a pretty unknown property compared to WW so WW legs might be a little less...but then again WW is more female skewing

I'm not. This is still a CBM.

I was sure it will be at least 60% female - 40% males

Could be wording, but I don't think that's the intent.

 

I just don't see CU making that much on a Friday, nope, nope, nope.

It was tracking the most in males.

CU could bag in $10M-$15M on Friday though if matinees are as good as WrathOfHan said.

No an eye to the w/e.  Right now it's still their w/e guess from tracking.  They don't have Friday numbers just as they don't for WW and have no new projection for that either - just reused their taking points from yesterday.

Or they don't pay them at all #SausageParty

 

Anyhow, 11M is perfectly good for Wonder Woman. W/a June opening, shouldn't be too hard for a multiplier just enough to reach 100M (will be disappointed if it doesn't, given all the indicators that it will reach that high + my desire to see it succeed, but something in the 90's will still be worth it).

[marveldcfox]

I was hoping for 15+ and 150+...

 

still hoping for 150+ because I am expecting HUGE walk up business on the weekend.

I live on the East coast. I watched Wonder Woman. And I watched the game. I understand that I'm not like everyone else. But what I was saying is that there was all this talk about 25 million plus folks watching the game when in reality the figure was closer to 18 million. That's a lot of folks for sure....but I just don't think it's enough to talk about it having this big effect on the preview number. 

 

Just my opinion though. 

[Jordanstine]

So safe to say $100m is a lock, right?

[Lordmandeep]

Hmm I think it wont be front loaded so I say 90+ million.

Which would also explain the higher than usual attendance from women compared to men.

Lock? No. Likely? Yes.

[raegr]

I set myself up for disappointment

Great number but I really wanted 120+

I will learn my lesson and temper my expectations for JL
