Could go either way with opening day vs previews.  I didn't pull midnight shows and those had been selling very well.  I tend to lean more on the OD comps and would guess we do finish a little above 30m.  I'll put my prediction at 31.5m for OD, including the midnight shows.

 

wow..amazing prediction

[el sid]

We have enough members who track the Thursday so I decided to count the Friday.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie, counted today for Friday:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 780 (16 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 991 (31 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 551 (27 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 353 (14 showtimes, very good for that theater)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 276 (19 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 585 (22 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 2.074 (30 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 5.610.

Comps (all films counted on Thursday of the release week for Friday): JC (10.7M true Friday) had 817 sold tickets,
Paw Patrol (4.5M including previews if it had some) had 315 sold tickets,
Minions 2 (37.4M) had 2.893 sold tickets = x1.94 = 72.55M true Friday (too good, no?)
and Sonic 2 (20.55M) had 1.851 sold tickets = x3.03 = 62.3M (also too good I guess but that's the number).

Fantastic presales also in my theater. The only little disadvantage might be that the evening shows are often a bit weaker than the rest (not that surprising). But otherwise, just no complaints. And as you can see, this movie is also far from being only a „coast thing“.
For sure not under 100M 3-day, maybe 110-120M?

Had to pull out the Doctor Strange comps because Mario is in a different league than Ant-Man and Thor at Megaplex. Drafthouse is giving me problems for Mario, so no numbers there. Hopefully I can get some numbers for it later tonight or tomorrow morning

This was the first day of pre-sales for JWD and — um — isn't for Fast X. So that comp will come down in a hurry.

 

Still, it's the first real(-ish) comp we've had for this flick since it first started sales so it'll be interesting to see what it normalizes at.

 

Next update Sunday Night (three days from now).

With the shift to T-x, the BP2 comp took a huge hit, as expected.  Nothing else to add that hasn't been said over and over... and over again.

Box Office Pro has their long term forecast up that includes GOTG3.

 

They're projecting $120-155M for the opening weekend. $288-403M.

 

If we go by tracking we're seeing here, that type of weekend, the low end still requires a 9X preview multiplier, which isn't likely, so, the presumption is for this to pick up as the date gets closer, which is what's been the consistent opinion here.

Imagine the meltdown on r/boxoffice if this does 14M in previews and a 6x multiplier.
