Won't You Be My Neighbor? keeps impressing me. I hope Focus gets it into 900-1,200 theaters for this weekend. I'd like to see it do $20 million+ DOM. 

 

 

 

 

 

That seems to be the case. Around Orlando, it’s gaining a couple of theaters but not many, so it seems like they’re getting it into 1k

2.1 UD 

9.2 I2 

1.2 O8? 

11.4 The Purge 

800 Tag? 

9.4 JW2 

2.6 No clue what this movie is lol 

My guesses lol 

 

*I switched JW2 and The Purge because that made more sense in terms of a Wednesday drop. 

 

I dont know what the 2.6 number is though

That would be a tremendous number for FK, could be I2 number though.

So the Purge had a good sized opening day it looks like.

Hoping one of those is the Purge lol, preferably the $11m

The Purge has to be 11.4, unless JW basically stayed flat from Tuesday.

EC liked my previous post (he didn’t like my first one) so I’m thinking The Purge is $9.2M.

 

If he liked it because I guessed correctly that means drops were very very very minimal on Wednesday with some movies like Ocean’s 8 actually increasing.

2.2 UD 

2.1 Ocean’s 8  

9.2 The Purge 

1.2 Tag

11.4 JW2  

800 No clue 

9.4 I2  

2.6 Sicario 

 

*I don’t know if it means they’re right though  He could have liked it cause he felt bad that I was wrong again....

$9m for the Purge would be a similar preview to OD multi as the last film so it makes sense.

If England vs Columbia was adjusted for ticket price, it would have made £240m OD in the UK alone. These BO numbers are puny. You're welcome guys

Than that 800k is dp2. Is holiday still going on? This numbers are insane.

That's crazy.  So JW actually sold more tickets on Wednesday than it did Tuesday?  I thought the 4th wasn't a big movie going day.

Lol I just realised how stupid this comment was considering Purge already did more in previews than the other films did today 😂

 

Obviously it was one of the 9’s. 

[dxmatrixdt]

$9m would be a lot for Purge 4 vs I2 and JW2 w/ $9m too.  Purge is in 1/3 the locations of both of those. If 11m Purge # is true, matinees might have been busy for the new Purge film  possibly foreshadowing the weekend won't have as strong of attendance as yesterday.

I guess The 4th is a good day for the movies.....here's 2007, and Wednesday looks good.

Today we are going to see some 25-30% drops.

[baumer]

Yep, Purge was very busy at my theatre last night and it wasnt even a holiday here.

Apparently it was yesterday as all movies either stayed flat or increased. I made a Wednesday thread based on the numbers but if you want to close it please do. Just figured I’d let the forum know how huge the July 4th movie going day was after all lol

EmpireCity liked this post, so looks like:

 

1. Jurassic World 2 — 11.4M (-4%)

2. Incredibles 2 — 9.4M (-8%)

3. The First Purge — 9.2M

4. Sicario — 2.6M (+0%)

5. Uncle Drew — 2.2M (-11%)

6. Ocean’s 8 — 2.1M (+14.5%)

7. Tag — 1.2M (-2%)

8. Deadpool 2 (?) — 800K (+14%)

 

These numbers make sense to me based on the 2012 weekday pattern. Most films increased on the July 4th Wednesday in 2012, but with much more muted Tuesday increases (or even drops) likely due to 1) discount Tuesday being somewhat less of a thing and 2) The Amazing Spider-Man opening with $35M on the Tuesday.

 

Peace,
