If we had them, they'd be listed here.  @sfran43 is a machine when it comes to getting them out.

The budget was $75m for MM!2 which is a bit higher than the first but I guess salary bumps, exchange rates and inflation meant it was inevitable even though they shot in Croatia to save some money, still going to make that back from this weekend alone.

Any chance it could be number 1?

It is possible depending on how its Saturday-Sunday was. 

 

MM2 all but collapsed on those two days so if the Equalizer had good Saturday-Sunday then it could come in at the top. It'll be close though imo

Boring numbers outside of fallen kingdom making its way too 400 million.

I think there's a chance.

Do we have a rundown of Mamma Mia's weekend dailies yet? That would be a harsh Saturday drop if the weekend multiplier is that low.

even if JW2 comes at 10.0 instead of the 10.7 that Deadline predicts, 400 is locked. It will be 17 odd away from 400 with a 10.0 weekend I think. If the weekend is 10.5+ I think 410 is realistic.

Great! Thanks!

Great numbers. $10M+ should be guaranteed now.

CJohn left because he saw the future had back-to-back Sony movies followed by a Paramount movie winning the box office, so he lost his sanity and bailed.

So Ocean's 8 is looking very likely to outgross RPO domestically.

STBY held better than I thought it would. Its PTA decreased by only 49% given the small expansion. I was expecting a PTA drop closer to 55%. The reviews are helping the film find an audience in bigger cities.

All told, that’s still a decent number for MM2. Hopefully it can let out well.
