20th Century Fox’s The Maze Runner: Death Cure, the last picture in the YA feature trilogy, got off to a $1.5M start last night at 2,860 venues. Next to its predecessors, the first Maze Runner minted $1.1M from 2,200 10PM showings back in Sept. 2014 while a year later, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials improved upon that number with $1.7M.

Should be about $20M for the weekend with that number.

That's not bad. Especially if it's somewhat backloaded like the first two

why should it be backloaded  considering it's a tri-quel?

[MCKillswitch123]

Pretty much what I expected. Should be in the mid 20's range for the weekend. Unsurprising, but not bad.

 

(Though it's hilarious to me that Insidious 4 is actually gonna end up with the biggest OW of January this year, even when compared to the 4-day MLK weekend numbers. Who the hell saw that coming?)

Just going by what the second film did since that also should have had a bigger Rush factor. Guess most of the teenage audience might come out later

Seems like this was a good weekend for MR.  Though was this one delayed because of Logan Lerman's injury?

Nope. It was Dylan O'Brien.

 

Originally scheduled to open on Feb. 17 last year, Death Cure was delayed following O’Brien being seriously injured during filming in March 2016. Death Cure was pushed to Feb. 9 then to this weekend.

Dylan O'Brien, not Logan Lerman. Ad yes, it was originally supposed to come out February 2017 until his injury caused production to be delayed

I hope it gets to 25M, it would be a nice boon for this.

 

Very interested in its OS performance.

[John Marston]

  Estimated production cost for Death Cure is around $62M which is just a tad north of what Scorch Trials cost ($61M).

no reason it should be any more backloaded than scorch trials.

 

I am still very doubtful of that budget btw, but I suppose a delay between production is not the same as reshooting i.e. they're not spending any more, they just stopped production for a while.

could do a strong ~4x that globally:

52 dom + 38 china + 150 os-china = 240 mz3, compared to

82 dom + 30 china + 200 os-china = 312 mz2 (5x+)

 

have gone conservative, especially with dom, for the sake of it. shows 4x+ the prod budget is very likely.
