I Can Only Imagine is Lionsgate and looking at a 20M+ weekend

 

I am hearing about that for the first time now. What is it? YA adaptation? Teen romantic drama? Religious movie? It is in only 1,628 theaters apparently.

Apparently it's the story behind a really big Christian song.

according to the wikipedia it's the story behind the biggest selling Christian music single of all time.

that reminds me: there is precedent for movies based on musicians being very front-loaded.

Huh, lil better than I expected, but frontloaded enough to be meaningless also. Could do anything from 15-28 with that number. 

Oh hai there Cmasterkal

imo bp will cross 30 for the weekend.

 

+122% will give it 8 friday. DP jumped 120% this friday (same as it's previous friday). BP's last friday bump was >135%. but going conservative,

8 (+122%) + 14.5 (+81%) + 9 (-38%) = 31.5

Even cheaper, it'll be in the black by next week.

ICOI is going to be very Friday front-loaded, should be at least 50% of the weekend. Very few Christian films aren't frontloaded to Fridays due to group rush, this should be no different.

 

Also as noted, the lower theater count is going to knee-cap it's weekend total - be very surprised if it manages to actually crack 20m this weekend.

[WrathOfHan]

Something like this could happen for ICOI:

 

Mar 16: 22M (7.1M weekdays, 29.1M Total)

Mar 23: 10.2M (3.5M weekdays, 42.8M Total)

Mar 30: 5.8M (1.7M weekdays, 50.3M Total)

Apr 6: 2.3M (700k weekdays, 53.3M Total)

Apr 13: 800k (300k weekdays, 54.4M Total)

Final Total: 56M (2.55x)

 

I'm expecting a fairly substantial drop next weekend with a rebound over Easter. After that, it's gonna die.

I think Avengers Infinity War can open to a massive $250 million domestically.
