Fast X MTC1 Friday - 115147/1169807 1944551.39 6614 shows +33296

 

If previews walkups were not good, final day presales for friday is also not good. Its going to have lower friday than F9 for sure. Comfortably lower. Low 60s OW I would say. 

 

Just hit 7m in previews so I can lie to myself console myself that this wasn't a complete waste of time. 👍

 

(legit worst case scenario is something like 6.5m in previews where I have to take ATP inflation and even more frontloading into account on tracking a mooted F11/Fast X Part Deux :=/)

Box Office Pro coming in hot with their Flash forecast.

 

https://www.boxofficepro.com/long-range-box-office-forecast-the-flash-elemental-and-the-blackening-look-to-combine-for-a-strong-fathers-day-juneteenth-frame/

 

As someone who was a preteen when Keaton's Batman debuted, this movie does very little to excite me, so, I've been skeptical. I'm interested to see how early sales go this week.

 

I'm a little surprised by The Blackening. That would be a pretty big debut for the third biggest new release that weekend. Especially since a number of other films should still be in double digits that weekend. 

[jedijake]

Dang those Flash projections!!!😵

 

And a 21% increase for TLM.

So potentially 3 $100M+ openings in 4 weekends 

 

At least one should get there, could certainly see two, but I’m no so sure about all 3. Most likely to miss is probably SV, but could also have best legs of the 3, especially if Indy isn’t as strong

[Cooper Legion]

I think SV is much more likely to outopen Flash than vice versa, but let’s see whatDay 1 brings 

[Flopped]

Between Boogeyman and The Blackening, seems like Box Office Pro is overestimating horror. I wonder if it's because they so underestimated Evil Dead Rise...? 

[YM!]

Strong tracking for The Flash. Was expecting a mini breakout for it as nostalgia sells.

 

Decent tracking for Elemental as that's about 30-40m OW which is more or less what I was expecting. Hopefully reviews boost it up a but more.

[eXtacy]

Can't see that high end for Flash. Think the projections are high. Should have good 2nd weekend hold but opening ill predict 100m

Opening weekend is bound to be inflated by Father's Day so the range makes sense.

[reddevil19]

Curious to see tracking for Indiana Jones. Think they may have seriously miscalculated playing at Cannes.

When you consider Indy and Flash go on sale next week, it means four different films with $100M OW will all be available for sale at the same time.

Fast X MTC2 previews final - 118109/771557 1684979.43 5548 shows

 

It did what I expected. 

[keysersoze123]

On Flash I expect it to have the biggest OW this summer. Hype is definitely there. Keaton nostalgia for the win. We will know this Tuesday. But its also one that could swing many ways. 

 

Edit: @Shawn has confirmed what I thought. Anyway its going to be an interesting June for sure. Elemental has to have the lowest OW prediction from BO.com. Last year they went high on lightyear. Onward also had 50-70m initial prediction. Of course Onward released at the time COVID just became a serious issue and so it could not realize its potential beyond its control.

DC overindex in MTC1 & there was big spring break variance for Shazam so of not much use.

 

MiniTC 2 I forget posting. Doing.
