It sounds promising on paper, but it includes the Wednesday screenings too and Thursday shows started a lot earlier than Spectre.

I don't remember any Wednesday screenings. Doesn't make sense. Why not just open it on Wednesday then if then starts screening the next day?

It was only playing in IMAX/PLF theaters for one show only on Wednesday night as an "Early Access" thing.

i dont think that wed will make a differenc between 50,60 or 70 for this, we dont even know how many theaters played it that day, i also would expect a 10 multi from previews at least

It did $1M in those.

Not great, not terrible start for NTTD. Especially with the Wednesday and 4pm Thursday start. Spectre was 7pm Thursday only.

In a few hours we can wisely ignore deadline.

People only coming out to the theaters for superhero movies?m now? Not impossible 

[MrPink]

I can't tell if my mind is playing tricks on me but were people down on Spectre's previews/Friday gross at the time before finishing with a fine/whatever 70m?

I mean Bond is more walk up based and skews older than the average CBM or Fast picture. I have a hard time seeing under 60m.

FWIW re: Venom looking at an astronomical second weekend drop, it appears it has been forced out of all of the bigger auditoriums due to Bond arriving to claim them all so if anyone's looking at something to attribute to a potentially larger than expected decrease (in addition to the obvious frontloading) there it is.
