Wonder how much the IT preview came into play

 

I was wondering the exact same thing? It looks like it's guaranteed to do over 30 million for sure but if the four minute preview dead get people out in the theater I could be slightly more front-loaded.

[KJsooner]

Holy Moses. Huge number. Means we'll get another Annabelle movie, couple Nun movies, and about 2 more Conjurings. 

[La Binoche]

I'm kinda over the conjuring spinoff movies but good for them i guess 

[Mojoguy]

WB putting Annabelle 2 instead of IT in August was a smart move, the Conjuring Cinematic Universe continues to do well.

It's way more important that Annabelle had the better release and did great to lead to more movies, IT will have only 2 movies at most.

Every Horror multiple that I apply brings at least $40m for Annabelle, unless it is extremely front loaded, this is going to be the third entry in the TCU opening above $40m.

2017 is the year of horror. Get Out amazed and did $175M, Split broke out and did near $140M, Annabelle can do a solid $40M/$100M run, and IT can be a juggernaut.

2016 was also the Year of Horror, as an Horror fan, I'm loving to see this renaissance.

Wow, 40M OW.

Same multiple as Annabelle 1 Gives it a $70.72 million Opening Weekend!

[That One Girl]

Holy shit, I went to buy tickets at my Cinemark and no shows were up.  Everything was sold out  

[Alli]

I'm starting to think IT will break out, like you guys say

[TwoMisfits]

My local has stolen AB's and Apes 10pm shows for Annabelle tonight...

 

And for locals, my one local that has cheap showings did effectively sell out its tiny NJ2 60 seat screen this morning (it has 4 or 5 single seats left)...it has 4 sales all day for the rest of its shows, so it does seems if parents are stuck viewing this, they are doing it as cheaply as possible...

[babz06]

Prettt big number. Probably high 30s for the weekend. Once again the studios dropped the ball this August, could have opened a big movie last weekend. Now the holdovers are going to benefit, even some of the sucky ones.

First Annabelle was in November.

 

Same multiple as C2 gives 47 mln.

 

 

But may be Annabelle: Creation will be more frontloaded, cause IT clip and early, from 7p.m., previews.

This It preview better convince me to jump on board the insane prediction train
