$4M for DB is impressive. That’s about $500K higher than I expected. The true IM will be terrible but I can see it getting over $15.5M with that number.

Unironicaly, they don't have balls for such an awesome title.

The usual "super early Fri estimates from industry sources that are likely to evolve, but hey, they're numbers" numbers:

 

$10.0M DBZ

$4.1M Beast

$2.1M BT

$1.4M Pets

$1.4M TGM

Given how advance sales this time on Friday tend to be PLF heavy, expecting that DBS figure to wind up too high (good advance sales but weaker walkups) and TGM and maybe BT to be a smidge too low, as they lost those shows as compared to last Friday, so less urgency to prebook. Beast still tracking close to Don’t Breathe 2, and Pets looking like it might finally have a good holding week

so maybe 5.5 for DBS leading to 16M weekend? Beast around 11M?

Yeah, something like that - maybe even as low as $5M (or below) for DBS true Fri. Yesterday, my local IMAX had over 60 tickets sold mid-day for 8PM show, wound up at only 95 by showtime (and this not a pre-sale heavy market - usually those numbers would double in that time frame, presuming capacity is available)
 

$11M probably a stretch for Beast unless Friday nudges up, but on good trajectory for ~$10M

Friday Midday: Crunchyroll is on a course to steal No. 1 at the box office with its anime sequel Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero which is looking at $8M-$10Mtoday (including those $4M previews) for a $17M-$20Mtake at 3,130 theaters. Uni’s Idris Elba movie, Beast, is currently clocking $4.1M today, and a $10M 3-day at 3,743 locations.

Sony’s Bullet Train at 3,781 is seeing $2M today, -47% from a week ago, and a $7M-$7.5M third weekend, -44% on the high end, for a $68.4M running total at the high end.

 

Warner Bros.’ DC League of Super-Pets is fourth at 3,537 sites, with an estimated $1.4M Friday, -29%, and $5.1M fourth weekend, -27%, with a $66.8M running total.

 

Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick in weekend 13 at 2,969 locations, is eyeing $1.4M today, also -29%, and a $5M 3-day for a running total of $682.5M by Sunday.

Hoping that Beast stays over $10m. But I wouldn’t be shocked with a $9m weekend after a $4.1m Friday. Hopefully it nudges up.
 

Thanks for the very early numbers @Shawn  

[VanillaSkies]

FWIW (and I don’t exactly know why), here in Canada TGM is getting the IMAX screens back this weekend in most Cineplex theatres, which it did not have last weekend. Won’t make a huge difference, but just interesting to see. I wonder if they will roll it in and out of certain IMAX screens through the fall as there isn’t much out there. 

[XXR vs XXR]

Much bigger drop for TGM that I expected. 

[abracadabra1998]

This wouldn't be a bad OW for Beast if not for that budget, why was it $36 million as opposed to Crawl's $13.5M?

[filmscholar]

Wow @ 4 Million Previews for "DBS:SH".   Also 1 Million it's too bad for "Beast".  We are talking a R Rated Survival Thriller.   OK....I just saw the first estimates.  10 Million, OK that's a nice number........Dragon Ball Fans love this franchise.  We'll see how Saturday holds from this number.   They really screwed up the Live Action back in 09.  There needs to be a reboot that is more authentic to the Animation.    But they may have something with these Animated Films if they keep pumping these movies out every 2-3 years.   Each Dragon Ball Movie is doing better and better domestically.   I was hoping for 14-15 Million for "Beast" but I guess it's look more at 10-12.   

[CJohn]

Hopefully numbers go up a bit across the board and Saturday numbers are strong.

Sure it’s a decently large drop from the PLF-inflated last Fri, but it’s a also reasonable drop from the basically same value ($1.925) 2 weeks ago. $1.4-$1.5M would be a return to baseline, removing the bump from last week with an underlying 10-15% weekly rate of decline 

[Legion Again]

Man, should have stuck to my guns on TGM instead of listening to the pros

Why would you expect much better when it lost the PLF screens again?

[WrathOfHan]

If it holds, that number probably seals the deal on Bullet Train missing 100M unless it somehow drops sub-30% next weekend. 90M/3x will happen, dunno if it passes 95M.

I am wondering what did Dragonball do wrong and what did Demon Slayer do right, It had a $25 Million OW

I guess probably the release time had to do with it. Back when Demon Slayer released, there weren't many movies around. It probably got a lot of casual viewers.

 

Also Demon Slayer was a bit special, DBS:SH, seems like just another DBS movie.
