Very good. As I said 55M+ OW is happening. The interest is there and also Fandango and Movie tickets are bouncing back. 

[filmlover]

Great start. $50M+ is looking very likely now unless Burton fans frontload it somewhat.

How’s Pet Sematary looking next week?

[Matthew]

So how much are we anticipating. I wouldn't be surprised if this opens to 60M+ 

[Ms Lady Hawk]

Us made about 4.5 according to Forbes.

About 27% presales of US as of now

I don’t think US is a good comparison, no one expects it to do that much, hows it compare to Truth Or Dare, didn’t that come out same time last year?

So Us is not going for 40M. According to my math about 35-36M second weekend. Which is awesome. 

[cdsacken]

I predicted 42 for US probably as an overreaction to my way off 60 prediction for last weekend. 36 wouldn't be bad.

[Cooper Legion]

Good thursday number, 50+ almost certain.

Dumbo could do $ 60M afterall (unless it’s frontloaded).

Disney’s Dumbo‘s started its weekend romp with $2.6 million off showtimes that began at 6 PM on Thursday. Projections have been wild for the Tim Burton-directed pic, with tracking figuring between $50M-$60M, and recent buzz in the last couple of days that the movie could open in the $40M range.

 

Disney’s Cinderella made $2.3M back in mid-March 2015, repping 10% of her $23M Friday, and a $67.8M three-day.

 

Jungle Book bowed in the middle of April earned $4.2M in Thursday night previews, which was 13% of its $32M Friday, for a massive $103.2M opening weekend.

[DAJK]

I guess 2.6 is still a strong result, maybe not for a 170M movie but nonetheless it likely won’t be another huge Disney bomb. Sales in my city pointed to 3+ but the result we got is still pretty decent.

 

I think the goal for today should be above 13M, I don’t know if this plays frontloded on Friday or not, but if it can play like a regular kids film 13-15M should be good

[ScoobyDoo21]

So Cinderella opening weekend is possible?

[ThomasNicole]

+ $ 50M seems like a good bet

$ 60M is possible

 

Seems solid around the world too (except SK / China for now).
