No way Hobbs and Shaw will have great legs, but I've thought about it trying to make a big push to a Jason Bourne like total. Needs to open to near 60m for that to happen though

Despite an inflated Sunday (+5%) MIB is looking at 2.65-2.7x multi. JWFK did 2.8x+.

2.8-2.85x is feasible for Hobbs and Shaw IMO.

If only they had put the amount of f a m i l y in the film in the trailers, we could have had $50M previews...

Han is probably not even dead. Everyone in this franchise has died and come back to life. Owen fell out of a plane and lived.

Don't know where the preview number will wind up, but Hobbs and Shaw is a blast of a film. I expect solid WOM and wouldn't be shocked if it has some good legs.

Glad you liked it!

 

Quite a few people on here seem to have seen it and haven't heard anyone dislike it yet, which is encouraging.

I agree it will have good WOM. (but then i'm biased as I liked it)

People don’t think it’s a f&f movie

no much different than dhoom. though salman's race was a bad/horrible attempt at f&f i have heard.

Well they do, one reason why F&F fans are pissed off at H&S is because both characters are not part of the family.

 

As i said, a rare case of fans of franchise wanting it's spin-off to flop lol

 

But if you see it clearly without bias then you'll realise that these 2 characters are so much better than most others, no matter whatever is the BO result of this movie.

My theater seems to have enjoyed it too. There were several instances when the whole crowd just roared with laughter. Granted it was opening night so it may have skewed things.

 

I was interested in watching it but bought my ticket last minute based on people on here saying good things about it. I’m glad I did

So speaking with RTH, here's what he said about preview numbers and why nobody really has access to them.

 

"Previews are blocked to most (hence why no source really has access). It's basically the distributor, exhibitors(some level of access) and a  few others"

 

So let's just wait until we get an actual number first before believing whatever it is a deadline says to us.

[baumer]

My theater seemed to enjoy Hobbs and Shaw immensely as well. Lots of laughter and everyone seemed to be talking positively about it on the way out.

 

There's a few really good Winx in the movie, and one of them is the best wink I've seen in a film since Eddie Murphy gave the money to the bums in coming to America.

4.5-5M is around where most of the comps in the tracking thread had it at so I wouldn’t be too surprised if it only reached that 

 

Hmmmm....

I've been thinking for the past week that fast and furious is the type of movie to have stronger walk-ups.....but not more so than Jurassic world, surely. 

 

Right now my guess is 4.5-5 in previews, 45-55 weekend.

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.

Spoiler

I'm not seriously accusing Deadline of anything here.  But I find the timing (and the comment about the West Coast) pretty funny.
