Yeah 4m is not happening. 4.5 seems like the minimum to me.

 

4m would be less than STB's increase last year with Suicide Squad opening.

 

And Dunkirk is adding 266 theaters while Star Trek lost 665 theaters.  Makes zero sense. They are pulling numbers out of their ass.

War is having the legs of a horror movie

The last two weeks Deadline has been pretty close with Dunkirks numbers

Worst Friday to Weekend conversion EVER by Deadline. And they even took their time this time.

Is Nikkie back or what?

Good expand for Dunkirk, weak rivals and only 4.5 m Friday? Lesser jump than week ago? That sounds awful, if it's gonna be true.

Calling it. Actuals for today and Saturday figures will push Dunkirk to top spot.

Agreed. Eh, Deadline is often too low on holdovers so I'll wait for those numbers.

Wow, I never thought I'd cheer for Emoji to overperform.  Please overperform.  For my QOTW

[DAR]

I'm sure it's happened before, but I can never remember a studio releasing two films back to back weekends.  And not something like Weinstein who just randomly throws movies out there.

If DT is doing 6-7 OD, it's not going much past Val's 17 OW (1.7 previews, 6.5 OD, 17 OW)

Fox released Wimpy Kid and Alien on the same weekend this summer. WB released King Arthur and Everything Everything on back to back weekends as well.

Dunkirk isn't Pirates or Mummy (flops in USA). I don't think so.

Me Before You, Conjuring 2, and Central Intelligence came out back to back to back over three weeks.  Fox released Alien and Wimpy Kid on the same day earlier this year too.

If Dunkirk wins this weekend, it will be the 3rd movie to win 3 weekends this year. The others are Split and F8.

Even the holdhovers look bad jesus. What a shit month this is gonna be.

Well they gave a range here, so I can believe the latter half of the range, would be very surprised by the lower half.

Have we gotten to the point where 171M is a domestic flop?
