30M is good number for an Original movie....BT has opened well the only reason why it kind of pales with my expectation is the huge theater count...4.3k...nevertheless good start...let's see with mixed WoM how it sustains!

 

BT had a fairly better publicity campaign compared to EoT for sure...Budget wise BT needs 200-250m to be safe...which might be well within its reach!

I definitely agree with that. Here in my homeland in Turkey for example, it's playing in 310 locations. That amount is insane for an R-rated mid-budget original movie and is primarily reserved for the big blockbusters.

Will be a pleasant surprise if TGM stays over $7m with actuals.

Keeping my fingers crossed it will stay above. IT will be even better if it were to cross Minions'5th weekend and jump 1 spot to 5th place, which would make it 11 weeks in the top 5 if that were to occur.

Technically speaking, you are missing his top OW. Deadpool 2.

Variety has really been going hard defending Nope

Yeah. Even though his character isn’t an important one and just a cameo, he still DID make an appearance in that film. So it could count. 👩🏻‍💼🙆🏻‍♀️

They're not lying 

 

Nope will finish with 120-130M, no matter how much people spin, is not a bad number for an original movie, is not a flop for a 68M budget.

 

It actually just gets more impressive considering how much original projects are struggling for nearly 3 years. 

 

 This isn't behaving close to a common blockbuster like many expect, but this was always more of a wish than a reality.

Yah sony is lying. They didn't want to get bad articles. There's no way this movies makes 7.78 on Sunday. lol. It will be lucky to hit 6m.

For Brad Pitt, 30M is a great opening. Ad Astra, Allied opened under 20M

 

 

What will you say tmr after seeing real number? How can it make 7.78 on Sunday? I really want to know!!!!

Good opening for BT obviously. $300M+ worldwide quite possible.

 

 

You're too smart to believe this number. How can it earn 7.78m in one day?

Probably double that when marketing is included. ~$250m WW needed to start making a profit.

Apparently TGM will be released digitally and on Blu ray August 23. Paramount trying to kill that 700m!

The rule of thumb is 2.5 to 3x gross compared to the budget to profit completely through theatrical only. 2x to profit after theatrical plus secondary market.

 

All of that obviously does not take participation and stuff into account but it's a pretty good guide.

How long will it take until people realize digital/Blu doesn’t mean squat for legs anymore?

[filmlover]

Not a great opening for Bullet Train, but not far off from what was expected of it either. We'll see what the staying power looks like, especially with a crazy barren month or more coming up.

 

Bodies Bodies Bodies expands to 1,200 theaters next weekend.

The numbers aren't in yet. Different time zones and all.

[Cappoedameron]

Here's hoping Brad Pitt's film does somewhat decent.

Do Brad Pitt films always bring out the crazy trolls to us here on BOT, or is this a new thing? Gen Z are so bizarre.
