baumer Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 So some dude who works at Variety and has Kal on speed dial is reporting that early matinees....VERY EARLY MATINEES have both Prom and MD3 doing 22-27 mill Friday. Kal's range for sure. Stuart Oldham @s_oldham Box Office Estimates (12pm PST): "Prometheus" and "Madagascar 3" neck and neck with $22M-$27M friday, $60M+ weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitcher Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Friday hasn't even ended where I live. And I live nearly on the opposite side of the globe. So yeah, stupidly early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bacon Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 60M for an R-rated movie would be awesome. When was the last R-rated film that isn't Wanted that made 50M OW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Swath made 21m on Friday or was it 20m? Still managed 56m.20.5An you're right, I think if it hits 22 it will make a push for 55+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggestgeekever Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 If they're predicting $60+m for both, Madagascar 3 is probably on the low end while Prometheus is on the high end of those ranges.Oh wait, I just put stock in Variety's math! lol silly me 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/prometheus-madagascar-3-box-office-335330 Both Ridley Scott's sci-fi epic Prometheus and Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted are off to a strong start at the multiplex, where they're engaged in a close race. Early returns indicate a $20 million to $22 million Friday for the two 3D films, and a weekend opening in the $50 million to $60 million range.

wboxoffice Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Madagascar 3 is going to have much bigger bumps on saturday and sunday. Plus, Prometheus had the midnights added from thursday counted in friday. Basically if they are neck to neck on friday, Madagascar 3 will easily win the weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Prometheus will decrease on Saturday so it needs a better than 22 million FRI number to have any shot at 55+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
