10% increase today minus previews. Very good day considering how the summer releases behaved so far.

I doubt it but what if it did better PA than BW?

That’s actually originally what I was thinking he meant but I think what @Lokis Legionsaid makes more sense. I’d be pretty shocked if JC beat BW on PA.

My theater was packed for Jungle Cruise. Actually made for a really good experience. It even got applause at the end. 😄

I wasn’t a fan but the 20 or so people at Jungle Cruise on Thursday basically ate up every time The Rock spoke. It was nice to hear an audience reaction with laughter again

Just watched JC, it's a really fun movie despite all the problems, i think Disney should do a sequel, i'm expecting good legs.

 

Without PA i think this would open closer to 45M than 35M, it's a good start, they only need to make the budget lower next time.

 

I honestly have no idea how they spent 200M on this, it's not on the screen, VFX is all over the place in quality despite being visually creative.

I saw it Friday afternoon at Disney Springs, which, let’s be honest, is the place to see a Disney ride movie.

 

especially when a group of over a dozen people sat near us in the balcony, all of whom were absolutely cracking up when Rock was making the ride jokes.

 

of course we figured out they were all actual Jungle Cruise skippers.

 

can’t think of a better way to see it.

WOK iirc had at the time the biggest opening day ever (or was that Trek 3? I don’t remember.)

Wrath of Khan had the biggest opening weekend ever at that point, but the legs were actually weaker than the motion picture, likely because the novelty of a Star Trek picture had worn off to a lot of people. 

[Madhuvan]

The response from Audience is really good. I can definitely see a sequel if legs are good. 

[grey ghost]

As a rule of thumb, I would guess the PA OW is around 75% of the DOM OW like it was for BW.

 

So JC should open with 30 m from PA.

 

Making more than BW doesn't make sense to me.

No way it even comes anywhere close. The box office isn’t even half of Black Widow’s opening, the PA won’t be even half either.

They’ve said Green Knight is #3, so it could be just a 60% drop for Old, surprising but nice.

-70% for Snake Eyes, with no streaming option.

Surprisingly soft drop, especially for a Shyamalan film released in the middle of a pandemic. Not bad!

So if Old is under Green Knight BW is 2nd or it was a mistake?

[Krissykins]

Old heading for 4 x it’s budget worldwide.
 

One of the pandemic winners.
