Whattttttttttt 13.5m Damn late to the party, but my jaw dropped. Was expecting 8-10.  Probably will land in the 90's. Crossing fingers for 100m though. 

47M OD according to early THR.

$47M OD ?!?!?!?

 

It covered it's whole production budget and more in a single day.

[DAJK]

If these numbers hold , IT is certainly going down with American Sniper, Deadpool, Jurassic World etc and the FUCKING CRAZIEST BOX OFFICE RUNS IVE EVER WITNESSED

Like I said earlier, I'm totally thinking American Assassin and mother! will be managing two screens each next weekend at midsize theaters with how shitty the holdovers are.

What is everyone expecting for those two anyway? I'm predicting $17M for mother! and $10M for American Assassin. And I fully expect mother! to die a quick death after opening weekend due to what will likely be poor word-of-mouth from mainstream audiences.

Giving a 10% bump from true Friday (21.6% drop from Sat) and 35% drop on Sunday.

 

13.5 + 33.5 + 36.85 (-21.6%/+10%) + 23.95 (-35%) = 107.8

I'm really torn on AA. I'm expecting it to flop, but it's doing exceptionally well on social media

Hitman's Bodyguard yesterday was the lowest grossing #1 daily since The Covenant in September 2006 with 498k. Weakest box office day in over a decade (since all of IT's previews will be Friday numbers)

 

[WrathOfHan]

I'm thinking that 3M for Home Again today is going to be a bit generous.

I'm sure Dylan O'Brien's presence is playing a part in it. Although a good portion of his teenage audience is gonna be locked out from seeing it due to the R rating, consequently.

I think WB and Sony aren't expecting blockbuster numbers for BR. Alcon put up most of the budget so neither studio are financially at risk 

Yeah, it may not make a profit, but I doubt they'll lose much on it either.

If the $47m number turns out to be true, $90m is going to happen.

[WrathOfHan]

13.5M Previews

33.5M True Friday (47M Friday)

30M Saturday (-36% from Friday and -10% from True Friday)

15M Sunday (-50%)

92M Weekend

That's because of Dylan's fanbase.. it doesn't amount to much when it comes to box office stats so don't make much of it.

unless if this gets less than a 2x od to weekend multiplier, its getting to 94m

[FantasticBeasts]

Breaking the previous September record in it's opening day??

Pennywise ha powah!

[John Marston]

Can't see how it misses 100m with 47 opening day

Correct me If wrong, but that doesn' feel like an optimistic prediction... It is realistic, but it could do even better.

$100m is definetely not out of the question.
