How many theaters is this gonna be opening in? Is there a known figure or a rough estimated range? New Mutants was in 2,400, are more expected to open for Tenet?

 

I am not too familiar with current status of US cinemas.

The majority of states have theaters open, with the notable exception of New York and (almost all of) California. Those are huge population areas and probably combine for almost 20% of US box office. 
 

Theaters that are open have instituted 33-50% max capacity, and many theaters are only doing afternoon and evening shows, not matinees or morning shows.

$18 mil seems about right based on the Canadian gross.

21.2M

[Lion Roar]

$24.5m

[Ryan Reynolds]

26.65m

[Krissykins]

$20.7m 

 

Anything over $20m and I’ll be happy. It would be good news for films like Candyman. 

[TigerPaw]

22.5m!

[Plain Old Tele]

Okay, so 20.2 is the reported cume to date. I’ll wait until actuals, and see if they break things down into any more

detail. If not, we’ll have to treat 20.2 as the official “weekend” gross. 🙄

How are those previews + FSS numbers prediction and not after mondays ?

 

Because I was really impressed to be that close to a never before event like that, I take back my impressiveness.

[Plain Old Tele]

Well, since $20.2m is the official number, that means we have A TIE!

 

@CloneWars and @Krissykins both predicted $20.7m, they were both 500k off. I'll PM their Gold accounts to them.

 

Congratulations to both winners and thanks to everyone for playing.

The FSS was like 9-10M, but I guess the lack of an exact figure leads to a funny outcome here 😆

I know, it frustrates me to no end but that’s the only number we have. 😂

We, the press and rival studios, are still in the dark on the daily breakdown on Tenet. Sources, who have pulled intel from exhibition, believe the $20.2M 11-day domestic breakdown of the Nolan film was as follows=$2.5M for the first weekend in Canada, $11.2M for the 3-day, around $12M for the 4-day and the rest in previews.

Oh yeah, previews. Still though, no wonder WB moved Wonder Woman if Tenet barely cleared New Mutants.

I just wanted to thank Tele again for this contest. I'm not sure exactly I deserve to win, but seeing how WB is doing numbers, I guess that is the way it is.
