EXCLUSIVE: Paramount/Skydance’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout is having a great Thursday night, and we’re hearing that the sixthquel is grossing around $5M-plus in previews tonight, running well ahead of the $4M Thursday night of Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation three years ago.

Updated the title.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hope MI6 doesn't disappoint like War For The Planet Of The Apes

[Ethan Hunt]

I know you guys have missed me

[DeWeese]

Impressive numbers I’ll be seeing it at least 3 times this weekend #CruiseGang

[Eric Atreides]

Wait...why did Ethan leave?

[Barnack]

A 14 like the Last Bourne, 70m

A 13.5 a la Rogue Nation would give it a 67.5m start.

A 10.5 like Ocean 8 52.5m start

[grey ghost]

Just got back.

 

Hate to use the F word but this was so much F-U-N!!!

I think you're using the F word incorrectly.  More like fucking masterpiece and one of the best action movies I've ever seen.

Figured it would be somewhere above 5.

Quoting Deadline...

Fallout, playing at 4,350 venues tomorrow, is the last of summer’s blockbuster openings before New Line/Warner Bros’ The Nun leads us into the fall on Sept. 7.

 

They should have hyped up Meg as a tentpole, I don't know what they were thinking.  They could still dump this in 4,000 theaters, but it is a wasted opportunity unless they have been secretly hyping it up as the blockbuster event of the summer and I missed out on something.  Who knows, one of the times I was on here recently was either 12 hours or 1 day + 12 hours after the Academy Award nominations 2018 were announced.  6pm at night a day or two later i think, completely forgot... usually there is a countdown

Hmm, I certainly hope we see that improve to at least $6M. I don' think 5 puts it on track to outopen Rogue Nation, and tracking be damned, I'd be shocked if that happened.

[WrathOfHan]

This lines up with my theater. I think 60 is looking harder and harder. Keep in mind RN had an 8 PM start

[grim22]

I think 65M+ should happen. Might stretch to 75 if things line up.

[WrathOfHan]

If it follows Rogue Nation:

 

25.5M (5.1x previews)

24.8M (-3%)

19.6M (-21%)

69.9M Weekend

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

War of the Apes did 5.0 and 56.3

Pirates 5 did 5.5, Dunkirk did 5.5 too.

If it does 5.5 and using your 10.5 # from O8 gives 57.8

 

[That One Girl]

It's opening in 4,380 theaters, there's no way it falls below 60M.

I've been thinking of War as a decent comp for a bit now. Pirates isn't the best comparison as it skewed more towards families and opened on a 4 day weekend.

[Curtis1986]

 definitely don't see it doing 60 plus  with that preview number. Also didn't deadline report that Mamma Mia was going to make 40 to 41 million in his early projections. I'll wait for actual numbers
