So based on these numbers, Gravity's record isn't going down. Hell, The Martian probably isn't going down either (Paranormal 3 and Jackass 3D too?). We'll have to wait two more weeks for Michael to kill the record.

 

This post has aged well (unless Halloween does manage to beat Venom, which is tricky, but not impossible)

I am actually shocked at ASIB's numbers. I legit thought the film was cracking $50M during its OW. Its presales were way higher than Ocean's 8 and yet it's probably going to open around the same as that. 

 

*This isn't me saying ASIB is disappointing. It's opening well above its tracking. Just thought that $50M was possible based on presales.

Isn't deadline estimate include $1.35M Wed and Tues previews?

NUN will end with approx 2.15x multi. Similar to PREDATOR (approx 2.10x) but with vastly different boxoffice.

Lady Gaga fans likely had an effect. Also, it's probably doing much better in metropolitan areas than in other states.

So ASIB increased from estimates again. I wonder if WB will report the weekend separately from the previews or with them.

[Damianport1]

Saturday and sunday hopefully will be big for ASIB and it will do 45M

Gaga fans might have made the film more presales-driven. When it comes to 8, almost all the actresses skew towards older audiences, or at the very least those who don't buy tickets right away. Even with Rihanna, she was far from the focal point of the film's marketing. Little Monsters are so crazy in love with Gaga they went out of their way to make bots to create fake Venom reviews on Twitter.

Is Disney going to fudge CR to 100M like they did AWIT?
