Hobbs & Shaw Weekend Thread: 60.8M OW (6th-best August debut), 180.8M WW | TLK 38.2, OUATIH 20, FFH 7.7, TS4 7.1, Farewell 2.4

That's lower than OUATIH and that one was frontloaded af. So are we expecting the same for H&S or better weekend? 40M would be a horrific drop from 60M tracking.

Better weekend. The last few Furious movies had much better internal multipliers than OUATIH.

 

If the movie does hit the lower end though, it can end up doing worse though (unless OW hits 10x previews which could happen since people on the tracking thread are saying walk ups for previews were high).

 

It's just a mess TBH

I can actually see this being more walk-up heavy. Friday afternoon and evening will be interesting, seeing how WOM goes... 

[Avatree]

Fast & Furious 8 had 10.4m previews, 98m OW

same multiplier would give a 5M previews, just below 50M, but it will be better less front loaded IMO because it's a spinoff not direct sequel. Also the 5M will go up.

[Valonqar]

Agreed with you guys. Walk ups to the rescue or else.

Looks like 55m-60m weekend 

[EarlyDeadlinePredictions]

Phew. 50+m OW looks safe. 

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Solid number.

[Minnale101]

Walk ups were great for movie 

 

seeing how bad the pre sales were the past few days and weeks 

 

hoping a big multiplayer with the WOM being stellar 

[filmlover]

Should hit the $55-60M range for the weekend at least.

Nolan’s power 

 

 

60M back on the table 

[RamblinRed]

Deadline yesterday said that F&F movies tend to overindex on the West Coast due to Hispanics. Looks like that is what happened. 

I'm still thinking right around 60M for the weekend. Hopefully has strong legs to leg out to 200M.

WOM is pretty much the same as the previous Furious movies. Would be surprised at anything more than a 2.6x multiplier (would say 2.5x multiplier but free August and smaller opening gives it leeway to have a slightly better multiplier).

It's insane that a spin-off costs $200m but I suspect Universal knows they'll make it back and then some.
