I think The Post will have a much stronger Friday, I imagine it's going to be more walk in heavy considering the subject matter. I think if it can match Captain Phillips then it'll be a win for Fox and at $50m, it's not that expensive and I imagine it'll do $150-170m WW

Still, it isn't like previews have doubled since 2015. Previews, while arguably more prominent now, were still a big thing in 2015

 

Hell, American Sniper did 5.3M that day

That and Paddington is a family movie, so it's not like it's a movie that would do great midnight numbers. 

[JMorphin]

but...it is a sequel, so you would expect previews to be higher from fans who watched the original film,.no matter how small the audience.  Still want Paddington to do well, though, at least match the first  

[aabattery]

I always bring my kids out to the latest showings possible. We always walk out in the dark, dodgy alleyways afterwards.

 

I'm one bad night from turning them into Batmen.

[WrathOfHan]

The Post previews  Maybe it needed Post Malone providing the score and not John Williams? It's been packed all day at my theater, so we'll see how today goes.

Paddington 2: $325K

 

Just under Ferdinand's $350K

And people thought I was nuts for thinking it could be in the low-teens with how it performed last night at my theater. Hah.

I think WB will be pleased with how Paddington 2 did Thursday wise and I think it'll probably be on par with the first film's four day opening

Since it's only a film they paid for the distribution rights for, I think they'd be fine with anything over 50m.

Den of Thieves' run time is long without credits! Phantom Thread must have short credits as the actual runtime is 130 minutes.

They paid $30m for distribution and they probably didn't pay much for P&A so it'll make a decent profit and they'll have first dibs on Paddington 3. 

[DAJK]

According to Atom, Death Cure is 2:21

[CoolioD1]

the post is toast?

That's only 10 minutes longer than the last film.

The Post will be lowest grossing of the Hanks mail delivery trilogy behind Cast Away and You've got Mail.

[B D Joe]

Will they ever finish the Divergent series?
