Paramount’s live-action feature take on Nickelodeon’s famed cartoon Dora the Explorer raked in $1.25M last night from showtimes that started at 4PM.

Is that a good Thursday preview gross for a film with a $49M budget? Taking into account how well the film might do in hispanic/latin countries/markets?

$20M weekend it seems like.

Only $1.25M from 4pm...yikes!!

Better than what most of the tracking thread was saying. Must’ve had some decent walkups for the second showings

[Eric Duncan]

If it follows Christopher Robin with a better Sunday hold (although that didn't have its previews at 4PM)

1.25

7.9 w/ previews

7.2 (-9.2%)

6.1 (-15%)

21.2 weekend

Better than I expected. Seems like 20m is the goal.

Unless you were tracking a Regal...those looked great:)...seems like the uneven nature of the movie will probably play out all weekend, with many theaters dead, but theaters where this viewing is "paid for" not so much:)...

 

Funny, you'd think AMCs would also show that kinda lift...but those subscribers aren't new, so they probably aren't itching to "make value" out of their sub as much:)...

Anyone else disappointed that we're apparently not getting BTS numbers?

Hoping for $1m+ for Scary Stories

That's not bad. A Dog's Way Home (the one with BDH as the dog) did about 535K and A Dog's Journey (the one with Josh Gad as the dog) did 250K.

Jesus, it seems that it's a struggle these days to a small/mid-budget movie to reach even $20m on OW, they're all dying in the sub $20m zone, urgh.

Good for Dora and great Scary Stories

That's a great number, but I'm not gonna allow myself a bit of hope, considering how this year has been doing, it will probably be super front-loaded and will miss $20m.

Phew that’s a great start. Especially compared to Brightburn, Ma, Crawl.

 

Mid to high teens looks likely. Nice.

Following Crawl, it would be at around 28M. Following The Meg would give it 26.4M. Either way, 20M is probably a lock at this point.
