That would be a sweet weekend for IW against its biggest competition. If, and that’s a big IF , it actually does over 30 million then 700 million becomes quite possible.

IW has been holding well enough that I think 30 is a reasonable bet.

[ChipDerby]

If IW avoids a 50% drop this weekend, it will be by far its best drop its had.

Infinity War can immediately recover from Deadpool effect thanks to a Canadian holiday on Monday and Memorial Day next week 

I hope so, but there's Solo to consider too... How many theaters will IW give up for that film. I do want it to get to $700M but it's getting harder to keep your hopes up. If this weekend stays above $30M, there is definitely a chance.

[Sam]

To get over 30M weekend, IW needs to hit at least 8M for Friday.

[Nova]

Do you guys think the Gods will stop by later tonight? 

[Jay Beezy]

A bit underwhelming OD number at the moment, but hopefully it goes up as the day goes on and more people get out of work to see it at night.

[dxmatrixdt]

I searched this on deadline.  It is when Bridget Jones Baby opened.  It had strong pre-sales and this is when the Friday matinee report came in

Horrible for Show Dogs.  If the numbers are wrong, I don't think it will go past 8m.  Maybe the kids are begging to see IW, Rampage, and BP instead...

Spoiler

12NOON Update: Warner Bros./Village Roadshow’s Sully will remain at a high No. 1 altitude this weekend according to matinees with an estimated $21.3M weekend, down a decent 40%, for a 10-day take that’s just under $70M. Lionsgate’s Blair Witch is bound to take Friday away from the Tom Hanks film, $7M to $6.5M.

It will be interesting to see how front-loaded Blair Witch is as it heads toward an estimated $17.2M in second place, which for a $5M horror film is still pretty solid. Given the momentum of horror films lately at the B.O., tracking was drunk on a $20M-plus projection, particularly give the brand here.  Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, which was a disaster in the wake of the huge success of 1999’s Blair Witch Project  ($140M), cost an estimated $15M and opened to $13.2M (finaled at $26.4M). A different economy of scale is in place here by Lionsgate, who spent an estimated mid-to-high $20M in P&A on this third pic.

Universal/Working Title/Miramax/StudioCanal’s Bridget Jones’s Baby is currently projected to come in toward the lower end of its projections with a $4.7M Friday and $13M weekend; still the best debut this series has seen stateside next to its previous chapters, 2001’s Bridget Jones’s Diary ($10.7M) and 2004’s Edge of Reason ($10.7M). Numbers could spike on Saturday when the ladies hit the plex. Baby only cost an estimated $35M before P&A, and the fortune to be reaped here is abroad where a Bridget Jones movie can rack up $200M-plus.

Open Road’s Snowden is also flying low with a $2.7M Friday and projected $7.3M weekend. PureFlix’s faith-based documentary Hillsong – Let Hope Rise is crashing at 816 venues with $750K today and a $1.9M FSS.

100% guaranteed.

I hope Deadpool 2 increases after the Friday matinees and shoots up bigger numbers in the evening shows!

It should. Every showtime at my theater is sold out (using the Tele method) from 5PM until 10PM with the 11 and 11:30 PM showings coming close to that.  

 

Edit: my theater just put up an 11:45 PM show time. Don't know why they didn't try to squeeze one earlier in the evening but I'll keep an eye out on whether it sells or not.

AOU had a 3.87 multi this (Victoria Day) w/e. An $8m Friday would get it to $31m with that multi.  The week before it had a 3.66 multi. 

 

Last week  AIW had a 3.88 multi.  With the same Sat rise but a softened Sunday because of VD it's multi could be closer to 4 and an $8m Friday would yield ~ $32m

Remember. Dog hijinks aren’t the only thing Beethoven and Show Dogs have in common.

I can see JW going as low as 120/300 tbh. When BOP isn't much higher than that, something is wrong.

 

If this happens, I will leave the forums forever and make a statue dedicated to you in Times Square.

I think JW2 will still beat DP2's weekend if not by much.

Make sure the statue's proportions are "slightly muscular."
