No, there have been several kids movies opening on this weekend in the past couple years. In terms of Saturday:

 

Alice 2 dropped 6.7% from Friday

Tomorrowland jumped 21.9%

Epic jumped 43.1%

 

That seems well-positioned for Aladdin, but the thing is that Alice is the only movie with standard previews like Aladdin. Tomorrowland had IMAX/PLF only previews, while Epic didn't even have midnights. I highly doubt Aladdin will buck the trend, unless WOM really kicks in.

To be fair, I'd expect Aladdin to have a better bump than the 10% of Alice 2 (from true Friday to Sat), simply because the WOM looks to be much better.

People yelled at me the last time I brought up RT's Audience Score, but I think it has some use*.  Right now Aladdin is sitting at 92 positive (4.52/5) on the verified ticket metric with 594 responses.

* I personally think the pendulum on its value swung way too far from Total Reliability to Total Garbage, and the measures they've instituted are helping, I think.  It's still a self-selecting sample and thus of dubious value.  But dubious value does not equal NO value.

 

The mix of unverified/verified pool is sitting at 82% positive (4.1/10) with 2,023 responses.

 

That's pretty good, IMO.  Could be a early sign of satisfied audience members at the very least.

UPDATED, 1:17 PM: At this time we can tell you that Disney’s Aladdin is off to a healthy start at the domestic box office with a $28 million-$30 million Friday (including $7 million in Thursday’s previews). It is now expected to hit $80 million over three days and $95 million over the full four-day Memorial Day holiday weekend frame.

 

Some see the Guy Ritchie film besting Solo: A Star Wars Story‘s four-day Memorial Day start of $103M last year with a potential $104M gross, but this holiday is so wonky it is too soon to call it at that. There can be fall-off as people become distracted by holiday activities.

 

Regardless, it’s a better than anticipated start for Disney’s latest live-action remake, on which critics are divided but exit polls show audiences love. Aladdin is a brand that is fresher than Dumbo and hipper, being a fave of Gen X and Gen Y audiences.

 

We will have more box office updates later today.

For a second I thought you had put 7m separate from 30m. The 28-30m projection includes previews. Of course its really early and if Aladdin is breaking out then it can go higher.

Here's hoping that Deadline doesn't over-predict for a second weekend in a row, though. 😕

 

I remember that brief moment when it looked like Wick 3 OW > 2x Wick 2 OW was possibly happening, only for it to come crashing down when more Fri numbers came in.

More seriously, nothing in the Deadline update for Booksmart if that's what you were asking for, sorry.
