Not really? 20M would be a big win at this point lol

My audience at Detroit consists of 2 single old guys sitting far away from me.

 

FEELS GOOD BUT ALSO BAD BECAUSE THIS IS BOMBING

Probably about 16-17M then for the weekend.  Not terrible considering the smaller budget.

[TwoMisfits]

No preview numbers on the other 2 movies...guess it's a "how long did they go" situation...

[grim22]

About the same previews as GITS and Valerian. I can see this coming in below both those movies due to the preexisting fan base.

[Mojoguy]

Those Dark Tower preview numbers are CRAP for such a fanboy driven book series!

Yep...this has a decent fan-base, not a strong preview number especially for early August.

 

VAL did 10x (1.7 previews => 17 ow)

AB did  12x (1.52 previews => 18.3 ow)

 

That would give DT 18-21.5 ow, but 10-12x is optimistic going by fanboy front-loading: 9-10x gives 16-18 ow. 

 

16-18 ow leaves a shot for DUNKIRK to three-peat if it over-performs and DT under-performs.

It's selling terribly around me, Kidnap is actually doing better. Don't know what they were thinking putting this in 3,000+ theaters (also probably wasn't a good idea for Annapurna to make this their first release either).

[MCKillswitch123]

Same as Ghost In The Shell, Valerian and Atomic Blonde. Should be around mid to high teens, w/a small chance for just over 20, due to the massive fanbase that may rush to OD.

 

For the 2nd weekend in the row, the race for #1 is gonna be super tight.

 

Kidnap miserable on paper, but considering how well it seems to be doing in pre-sales and that it did just 60K less than Patriots Day and 90K more than Sleepless, it's going for a 8-9M range, which given the dumpjob it is, ain't half bad tbh.

DHD

Kidnap 500k

Kidnap is gonna do more during the weekend, isn't it?

That should be about $8-9M for Kidnap. Not bad for a movie that's been forever sitting on the shelf due to its studio going under.

[Valonqar]

frontloaded, all of them.

BAD MOMS dropped 19% in 3rd weekend (mid-August) after dropping 41% in the 2nd weekend.

 

GIRLS TRIP dropped 37% in the 2nd weekend. Not that 10 days gives us a reliable pattern, but if it can pull off a 19-20% drop from 19.65, and do 16m over the weekend, there's a small 10% chance it beats DT.
