kyky Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Safe House' has early lead at holiday B.O. B.O. analysts have "Safe House" grossing between $6 million -$7 million Friday for a four-day cume of $24-$26 million, while Sony's "Ghost Rider" sequel, which opened Friday at 3,174 locations including 2,352 in 3D, is tracking slightly ahead Friday with $6.5 million -$7.5 million -- but it's expected to drop off to the low- to mid-twenties for the weekend. Reigning B.O. champ "The Vow," from Screen Gems/Spyglass, is also holding well, with bizzers pegging the film gross to gross in the low $20M's through Monday. The Channing Tatum-Rachel Adams romancer, directed by Michael Sucsy, has cumed $61.9 million through Thursday, thanks to a pre- and post-Valentines day surge, and could break the $100 million mark by next week. Warners' "Journey 2," meanwhile, is seeing a slight uptick from kids out of class for the Presidential holiday, grossing $4.5M to $5.5 million Friday for a four day take of $20 million-$21 million. Fox's romance actioner "This Means War," starring Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine and Tom Hardy, is currently in fifth place with a Friday estimated cume of $4.5 -$5.5 million and an expected four day tally in the mid-to-high teens. Disney's Studio Ghibli toon "The Secret World of Arrietty," another new release, should gross in the $1.5 million range Friday for a four day cume of $6-$7 million http://www.variety.c...le/VR1118050477 Edited February 18, 2012 by kyky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Compared to Ponyo, that Arrietty number is good but still 6-7 million is quite low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Are these numbers good?Good for Journey 2. What kind of drop is that from last Friday? I think they got 6.2m. Edited February 18, 2012 by ECSTASY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanilla Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 If Journey does that much on Friday it will be over 30 million for the 4 day weekend. Not 20-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcalcagn Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Compared to Ponyo, that Arrietty number is good but still 6-7 million is quite low.Considering the small theatre count, it's actually going to make twice as much as Ponyo's opening weekend in one day and it's total gross in a single weekend and will easily be the biggest non-Pokemon anime opening. I'd say it's a victory for the studio, especially since Miyazaki himself didn't actually direct it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 If Journey does that much on Friday it will be over 30 million for the 4 day weekend. Not 20-21I would expect 20-21M for 3-day....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I think Journey would end up around $25-27M for the 4-day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravon80 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Safe House and The Vow looking strong for 100m. Journey 2 with a decent shot depending on how strong the 4-day weekend is for it. Great start to 2012, much more interesting than last year, and we still have TASM, TDKR, Hobbit, Avengers, etc. Going to be a monster year.

kowhite Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Compared to Ponyo, that Arrietty number is good but still 6-7 million is quite low.Low I suppose...not that anyone was expecting it to do much of anything. Compared to expectations, it's actually not bad at all.I'd say it's a victory for the studio, especially since Miyazaki himself didn't actually direct it.Victory seems like a reasonable thing to say...that being said, while it should mean something it not being directed by Miyazaki...let's be realistic...barely anybody in the US market would know that, or would know it to mean anything in the first place.

Hell, people I knew in the animation industry thought Miyazaki directed it so what does that tell you? It's a definite victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
