Should translate to about a $25M opening, which isn't too far below expectations.

Seems a fairly low Preview night number in the summer for Skyscraper.

It would make Rampage an early favorite to win the Rock Club.

Maybe Skyscraper will be extremely backloaded.

That is not a good preview number at all. I'm thinking low 20s at this point

 

Fri: $9M

Sat: $8M

Sun: $6M

 

OW: $23M

yeah, Rampage has won the fight.  I'm surprised because skyscraper had a clear hook and seemed more accessible to the general public

[MrGlass2]

People saving their money for MI:F after those insane reviews.

[TalismanRing]

If it has the same preview to w/e multiple as Rampage that's $29m.  But that was mid April...

 

Probably should have kept my $24.5m prediction in the Derby.

You could say Skyscraper's sinking like a...rock.

5 PM is way too early to only get $2.6M preview...

 

[EarlyDeadlinePredictions]

Audience score 81% on RT so maybe this has WOM into the weekend?

The Rock fatigue

If the dates were reversed Skyscraper probably would have done Rampage numbers an vice versa.  One too many mediocre reviewed Rock action movies in too short a period of time.

Hotel 3 might cross $50M OW, Skyscraper should be around $25M.

Interesting that Preview shows for this started at 5pm.

My 7yr old nephew took to the trailer when we were at Ant-Man&Wasp and said it's what he wants to see next.

I also found it humorous that after the MI:Fallout trailer he leans over and says,"That looks exciting...but intense". Intense I said. He goes "yeah". I'm amused he's using the word intense and properly at age 7!!

That is pretty strong. In comparison, Cars 3 did $2.8M which translated into a $53M OW. Though there doesn't seem to be any indication if this includes the $1.2M Amazon Prime showings or not.

Skyscraper is going to be weak domestically and that was expected from the beginning. It will make the bulk of its money internationally.

[WrathOfHan]

Fuck, why did I go from 25M to 30M?
