EXCLUSIVE: Universal’s Fast and Furious spinoff Hobbs & Shaw starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham is currently seeing a Thursday night that’s between $4.5M-$5M. East coast shows are already in full swing with west coast starting at 7PM PST. This is a bid by Uni to take their $5 billion-plus Fast & Furious series to another level, spinning it off potentially into another franchise. We will see. Pic’s Rotten Tomatoes score is settling at 71% Fresh, which isn’t awful, it’s just that movie execs like to see better.

 

While tonight’s numbers, as expected, are well below some of the most recent Furious films, i.e. Furious 7 ($15.8M) and Fate of the Furious ($10.4M), that was to be expected because the Dominic Toretto gang isn’t all here.

Outside of the Furious series, Hobbs & Shaw will likely be Johnson’s highest preview for a live-action pic besting the Thursdays of San Andreas ($3.1M), Rampage ($2.4M) and Skyscraper ($1.95M). It’s also higher than Statham’s The Meg from last August which made $4M in previews, and higher than Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation ($4M Thursday, $20.3M Friday, $55.5M opening). At this point in time, Hobbs & Shaw is under Mission: Impossible-Fallout‘s $6M preview which translated into a $22.8M Friday, $61.2M opening.

 

Typically, Fast & Furious movies overindex on the West Coast and deliver a huge Hispanic turnout. The night isn’t over for Hobbs & Shaw, so we’ll see what comes.

H&S is honestly doing gangbusters at my theatre tonight. Granted, the weather is crap today so that's going to boost overall Thursday #s and lower the weekend multi if the weather clears up, but it's going to be over 10M equivalent here tonight, maybe even 11M. 

 

To compare, F8 did only 5.4M

Rogue Nation nearly made 200m off 55m OW

And the month looks to be a far greater dry spell this month this year compared to last when we had Crazy Rich Asians and The Meg delivering big hits. The highest grossing movies this month after Hobbs & Shaw look to be...Angry Birds 2 and Dora? Yikes.

Boxoffice Pro lowered its Hobbs & Shaw down from its initial $70M to $66M. They haven't done something like this in a long time, I wonder what they've been seeing in terms of how its tracking!
