Disney current run  (and specially MCU) has made people think every sequel increases.

 

Fallout is increasing (though not a lot) thanks to great reviews (and RN/GO reception). That's a win itself.

 

The fact that the franchise is not collapsing is good enough (though not the best case scenario)

Paramount will take what it can get.

Friday to Saturday jumps for recent openers 

 

Hotel Tran 3  +6.2% on Sat over Fri w/o previews

Skyscraper +23.6% over Friday

Unfriended +16.5%

Mamma Mia +0.05%

Equalizer 2 +23.7%

 

Mission: Impossible should be lucky to see +20% up over Friday.

The Movie Pass "glitch" could be negatively impacting MI6?

No.

 

MoviePass is pretty much dead now.

Well, yes, as a corporate entity it sure looks like it's on the verge of death, and I'm glad they were unable to process my credit card last Christmas when I like many others tried to sign up after the big price drop.

 

But seems like there are still a lot of actual subscribers out there - most of whom I fear are going to lose the money they paid any day now - who would want to use the service to buy MI6 tickets this weekend, and if they can't ...

So i saw all the shitstorm in here and i thought the numbers came out and MI6 underperformed but...nope...

Deadline update...

https://deadline.com/2018/07/tom-cruise-mission-impossible-fallout-opening-weekend-1202434739/

"EARLY SATURDAY AM: It’s another box office weekend where the movie star actually pulls the audience in as Tom Cruise sixthquel Mission: Impossible – Fallout heads for a franchise opening record of $61.2M, which also doubles as Cruise’s second-best debut at the box office after War of the Worlds’ 3-day of $64.8M (which was part of a 6-day Independence day opening). Even more awesome, Fallout reps the first time that a Mission: Impossible has ever earned an A CinemaScore from moviegoers; the previous three installments receiving A-s. As mentioned earlier, Fallout is also the best reviewed M:I of all-time with a 98% certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes."

 

"After Fallout it’s Universal’s Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again ($15.4M in weekend 2, -56%, $70.8M total), Sony’s Equalizer 2 ($13.95M in weekend 2, -61%, $64.1M) and Hotel Transylvania 3 ($12.1M in weekend 3, -49%, $119M), which puts Warner Bros.’ Teen Titans Go! To the Movies in a 5th place start with $10.9M and a B+ CinemaScore. The feature adaptation of the WBTV/Cartoon Network series was a thrifty $10M (before P&A) synergistic play toward the series moppet fans, with the studio emphasizing a digital spend with early screenings at San Diego Comic-Con last weekend. When you spend this low, like a Blumhouse, you expect big returns and this is OK. One financier questions the amount of P&A expenses in regards to the pic’s opening and whether that will get the movie to some sort of breakeven profit. Fallout on the other hand is expected to reach breakeven during this home entertainment window off its estimated $180M production cost and estimated $140M global distribution expenses."

Lmao still no Friday # so we don't know if Deadline is pulling any shit with the multi.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

I think RTH will being higher numbers for MI6 than Deadline.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Holy shit, the closest theater to me has already sold out 6/8 showings for the day (including 1 in 3D).

It could be they are all not good, but with Moviepass reinstating itself late yesterday afternoon (after being down 24+ hours), there's a hope panicked subscribers all rush out this weekend to get their final money's worth:).  

 

I'd almost say this is in jest, but I've seen lots of posts on other message boards talking just about this idea, so YMMV:).

 

I mean, if you paid for a year, you're gonna want to get your last tickets in asap...(and 3M+ folks are a lot of potential movie goers in the domestic market:)...

I only meant that it’s a pitty that they don’t make more money and that audiences should know and choose quality entertainment such as this.

And casino royale deserves to make more money than skyfall and every MI bit that's boxoffice

Could be. But I know how likely that is. It is selling extremely well in premium formats, something MP obviously wouldn't affect. Still selling real solid in 2D though. I think most people who want to see this would be willing to pay out of pocket based on reviews/expected WOM.

[MattW]

Really annoys me when they post a weekend number and no Friday number.

[filmlover]

Looks like final totals will be $115M for Mamma Mia 2 and $90M for Equalizer 2.

looks like Teen Titans might go under Resident Evil #s. 

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2017) did 1.0/13.6 - Thurs#/weekend#

could be looking at O/U $4,000 weekend per theater average, 

expected to increase on Saturday,

Sunday = Friday?

Somewhat surprised at MM2's big drop. But perhaps it's mainly a weekday player.

There was a rush last weekend with it being a sequel and all.
