Talk to Me - 1.245m previews per The Numbers

[Arlborn]

That ain't bad for the sort of movie it is and the release it has(1900 screens iirc?), is it?

Updated to 2,340 theaters this morning

Haunted Mansion $3.1M THU Previews 

[CJohn]

Haunted Mansion is gonna open with 20-25M. What a major bomb.

 

Hopefully Talk To Me isn't too frontloaded and approaches 10M OW.

[ThomasNicole]

Great for Talk To Me, i think ~12M is in the cards, i can’t think of a reason for it to be frontloaded 

 

Nice won for an original

Barbie 2nd Thursday number -> Haunted Mansion opening weekend.

How frontloaded should go is be? It’s a known property but idk who the built in audience is here. Disneyland adults? Could it hit 30m? 

[Ezen Baklattan]

Jungle Cruise achieved $35M off of $2.7M previews, but I think IMs have gotten much more conservative since then. Still think high 20s is in reach.

From the MTC numbers keyser posted there isn't really any sign this will have a huge IM, so 30M off 3.1M previews seems rather dead imho.

 

This film's only memorable trait will probably be the film that took PLF from barbie lmao

Disney just looked at twice cheaper Goosebumps and decided : "Nah! Easy way is for suckers".

[harry713]

I saw it last night and it’s nothing special at all, so I’m not surprised the numbers are reflecting that. I still think the weekend range for this off 3.1m previews is more like 25-28m.

[M37]

Yeah, I’ve still got mid to high $20Ms for HM, but $30M+ seems like a stretch. Do think it will be family/walk-up friendly, but closer to JWD (8x IM) than say Elemental (12x IM) or even Minions (9.75x)

Haunted Mansion starts with an 83% Audience Score on RT.

Based on pre-sales would guess around 27M Barbie and 13M Oppy FRI

Haunted Mansion never really felt like it was ever going to be a big hit, it only moved to the last week of July to fill the gap left by The Marvels.

Those don’t sound very good. 

[reddevil19]

With HM looking like yet another Disney misfire and Elemental losing theaters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is in a good position to overperform.

Hoping evening walk-ups lead to better increases than that.
