but yeah when you do, we can talk about all the stuff then.  in the meantime, avoid the review thread for this obviously  

 

Well, it doesn't have to be today...but I'm working all 4 days this weekend, and I can't wait till Tuesday. 

[Jonwo]

Think it might do $55-60m for the four days which would very solid 

[Valonqar]

This would be a solid preview for standard Thursday night but more so on Wednesday when most people don't expect movies to have previews (even for holidays).

G.I.Joe Retaliation did $2.5M.

[WrathOfHan]

I'' guessing this will translate to 11M or so today with the 3 day in the low 40s. Good start

[Boxofficerules]

Decent Number

Retaliation did $10.5M.

$11M would be a bad number.

 

[MCKillswitch123]

That is a very good start, especially for a Wednesday. It could be frontloaded, but a number like that definitely could push the 4-day total to O/U 50M, which would significantly increase this movie's chances at 100M DOM.

[Krissykins]

Seems like a good start for RPO.

GI Joe 2 did $122m on a $51m four day opening so I think RPO has a shot of doing more than that even with Rampage two weeks later 

[Cookson]

Is this movie riding on nostalgia? The movie looks fun but I'm really watching it later because of certain characters that are in this apparently.

 

Really want this and Rampage to surprise!

It's obviously got tons of references but you have to expect the film to flow fine without understanding a single reference.

Thinking more about it,this film does not deserve the money it gets...it deserves way more.I am not asking for a sequel because that would be stupid and...well...we have one book but the film is awesome and i want it to make money and not be overshadowed by a dissapointing BO run.

I’m rooting for RPO to overperform, it’d be nice to see another huge blockbuster. Especially due to how dismal March is.

That higher than Star Trek Into Darkness 3.25m (those started at 8pm too), so it does sound like a really good start.

That is such an arbitrary comparison.

It should be a good couple of weeks. Rampage will likely open to $40M+ while A Quiet Place and Blockers should do very solid business.

One of the very few recent (last 5 year's, before that previews were often midnight one and not comparable to today) wednesday previews on that list that was not already name:

Was pretty much that one or Baby Driver/End of the world or The Hangover Part III, a large budget franchise movie with some pre-established fanbase like a Star Trek felt closer than those.

 

Still a bad comparable too (Star trek did like 70m from that preview number... there is just not many to pick from.

[Avatree]

why would it matter whether the previews are on a wednesday or a thursday? 

[DAJK]

That's solid enough for RPO. I feel like there will be some frontloadedness however, so I've got a hard time seeing more than 11M today and 50 for the 4 days.
