New Year's Day Weekend Thread: Late Friday estimates (DHD) - TLJ 19.5M, Jumanji 17.5M, PP3 6.7M, TGS 5.3M

[FTF]

1:30pm pst, that seems way too early (as usual) to make estimates.

[MrPink]

I'm thinking around 21 mil today or so and 80m for the 4-day.

[WrathOfHan]

YIKES. At least my Jumanji and TGS predictions are really close.

Deadline being Deadline again.

If TLJ actually decreases today from Thursday...

 

 

Insert Pacino snorting a huge pile of cocaine in Scarface gif here.

 

That's DL when they make their weekend predictions.

I'm hoping for $21.4M to $22.4M, which is a 10-15% jump.

[IronJimbo]

This can't be right, this is JUMANJI we're talking about here.

 

Waiting for rth...

[JonathanLB]

If I believed Deadline I would still have my $28.1M from last Friday to look at when I saw TLJ’s dailies. So yeah, they fucking suck at this. On the West theaters are still showing their first showings of the day!

I'd have said the same thing til I saw it...one thing my spouse and I did agree on is that it's better than the original, and a big part is the leads...even though Jack Black stole it, everyone did so well in the roles they were given to play:)...

Early numbers around mid-day? That seems a bit premature. Deadline really is run by a bunch of monkeys.

I actually want to watch this film! I'll probably go next week.

@Lordmandeep caught hell earier today for saying $60m 3-day. That would be a pretty solid result regardless, but it looks a hell of a lot better compared to a $55m projection. 

 

 

The only reason I said 60 million because I remember we overestimated RO and TFA third weekends.

 

 

With so much demand burned, something gives.

watching Bright right now.  Can’t believe this is a real movie

Happy birthday @RichWS!

I'm gonna agree with you...seeing the week from afar, I'd have said $60M or a little less...so I don't think Deadline's way out to lunch yet...

Exactly right. Rogue One was a huge negative outlier compared to everything in 2011 and 2016 (same calendar). If this one can get around $65m for the 3-day it would be a great result.

Makes me angry sometimes that sites like BOM,Deadline,Varity ect are filled with highly paid imbicille monkeys who knows less than many here on a bad day while taking a big dump..

Laughable..
