they should've shown more of Will Smith in the trailers, he was really good.

More of Smith and more of Scott I'd say.

Considering all of the doom and gloom surrounding the movie in the previous months, I'd say yes.

He meant Friday will be better than expected based on presales

So Disney Memorial weekend curse defeated or Aladdin's probable 200mn OW is 100-120mn.

Pirates 5 had $1.25mn from Wednesday. It was $4.25mn Thursday. Iirc.

Where did you hear this? I saw Pirates 5 at the Thursday previews and I would have known if it had early sneaks the day before, certainly if they were widespread enough to account for $1.25M

[Menor the Destroyer]

I don't really think Disney defeated the Memorial Day curse. Aladdin should've been a much bigger deal than this even with a better than expected opening.

Tbh, 7 was better than 6 which I was thinking of and 65mn 3 days OW that majority were expecting.

Ahhhh....see, that I'm not as certain about, b/c I think we're hitting a "women's presale" type of movie and an area-specific over-and-under performer movie...and the areas performing strongly at the BO also presell normally strongly, like mine...

 

But, we'll see...the Thursday number is good, though...

The world needs more Pirates! films.

[MCKillswitch123]

That's a fine number. Would imagine Solo numbers through and through, for both the 3 and 4-day totals.

the above as numbers for PoTC 5 in hurry.

Aladdin should be doing 140m for 4 day...

Maybe but I dunno. I feel like a lot of the original Aladdin's enduring appeal is because of Robin Williams' iconic Genie, which no remake was ever gonna duplicate unless he was still here to reprise the role (which sadly isn't the case). Disney will likely still consider it a win even if it only grosses half of what Beauty and the Beast did though since overseas should make an even prettier penny.

Idk, at least based on Fandango the Thursday wasn't all that presale-heavy, especially considering most schools are still in session (I think). It was only slightly more presale-heavy than Dumbo, and less so than Detective Pikachu. Maybe that changes for the weekend, but I'm not so sure right now

Gimme 90-95m 4 day

In my honest opinion, Aladdin should’ve flown over the $150M 4 Day mark. Had the marketing and release not been bad.
