I just like how the thread is here discussing whether it will go 9 or 10 and deadline comes in with the 8

good guy deadline bringing our expectations down to earth so that we don't end up disappointed

That’s super early for the report to be at all accurate.

JW4 MTC1 Friday - 148795/1009046 2494047.95 5786 shows

 

Its looking at low 20s at worst with similar walkups. I am hoping for 25m true friday. That will take its OW to low to mid 80s. Otherwise it ends up around BO.com prediction. Either way good OW for the movie. let us hope it has a good run and grosses over 200m domestic. 

Yeah, should give 22-23 ideally.

0.49x Top Gun: Maverick - $9.55M

Expecting $10-11M previews.

 

John Wick 4 MiniTC 2

Previews - 16575/57371 (230 showings) $208,992

 

Ideally, it will be $11M+ but due to the ATOM deal, it will over-index here. $9.5M perhaps.

So Deadline is lowballing?

Deadline posted that number insanely early, so they probably are. We should have the final number in 6 hours or so.

Another good day for sure.

This is for 30 hours. Still crazy strong for a movie that is opening 12 days later. Can it hit 25m OD at this rate !!!!

25 still seems a bit high, it's selling very well but that would require a huge late boost.

actually VERY accurate since the official number is 8.9m.

[charlie Jatinder]

Good call @keysersoze123. It did overindex in our 3 biggest samples due to ATOM deal like Creed 3.

That week also several school districts will be off due to GF. I am expecting good walkups as well. Anyway I am impressed by pace so early and still so deep in its PS run. Its bigger than what some big MCU movies were doing at this point :-)

[DAJK]

I'm fully on board Mario's 150M+ 5-day, 400M+ domestic train.

[MightyDargon]

500 mil for Mario. Good luck stopping it.

Evil Dead Rise in the long range at $21-30m. Even the lowest end would be a great start considering… Warner Bros.

Yeh that’s the SXSW audience so I’m expecting that to fall considerably, Evil Dead (2013) had the same and ended up low 60’s. I’ll be there opening night regardless.
