AIW went up a bit from last Friday's 114k and for once didn't lose a huge chunk of theaters. The theater count down just 2 most likely means it lost first run but finally gained second run ones.

I used to hate fudging but seeing Black Panther at 699 week after week has me begging Disney to fudge.

Good opening for Fallout. My gut tells me the Saturday bump will be a bit higher than expected. Hopefully its right.

$17m pure Friday is barely above RN's 16.3m.

I don't like that Friday at all.  It puts 60 in jeopardy.

And the PTA for the weekend could end up below Rogue Nation's.

6 + 17 + 21 + 17 = 61

O/U 60 at this point 

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Yeah looking like 60 is in danger. All depends on the Saturday bump.

Normally I'm a better „predictor“ because I stay cold and neutral. Embarassing, all these too high predictions from me here...

This -now- 23M Friday number for M: I 6 is still somewhat depressing me, say what you want. I get it that with an objective look on it, that's a good result. But it had these reviews and trailers and the (as often not as important as it seems) internet buzz and the low competition plus the fine Pulse numbers and it seems that it's still doing much less than almost all superhero/comic book movies . My only hope now is that the WOM will help its OW and total run.
I also hope that The Equalizer has the same nice Saturday and Sunday holds as last week. Over 64M so far is actually ok. So it would stay a bit under the first one but not much and maybe it's WW doing better because this time it's already a well know (little) brand.
MM2's not so great hold doesn't suprise me with the already declining Saturday and Sunday numbers last weekend.

All that early panic over Ant-Man was for naught. It'll pass $200M with ease.

This happens pretty often here. 'Oh no a movie didn't make all its money in the first 2 weeks. Flop'

Decent expansion all things considered.

It got hit by Mission: Impossible arriving (plus WOM likely being on the lukewarm side at best).

Hmm everyone I’ve spoken to said it was better than the first 

[Krissykins]

In line with tracking for Mission Impossible, maybe that WOM will kick in over the weekend

I guess the bottom line is that this is a 6th film and a 5th sequel and although the trailer looked awesome, there are only so many fans of the series so to expect growth on our part, might have been questionable;

I have a feeling The Spy Who Dumped Me might open like Rough Night Did Last year, under $10m, sadly.
