Plain Old Tele Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 M3's gonna win the weekend, but I wouldn't be surprised to see those Friday #s tick up for PROMETHEUS -- it's going to be an evening/night movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bacon Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Don't forget Paranormal Activity 3 and Jackass 3D.Thank you, friends. I needed my memory jogged. Jackass 3 opening that high was nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a big night movie. But if Mad3 is doing that well already today, then what are we in for tomorrow? And if Mad3 does open to 60, congrats to all of you who had Mad3 over 60 in the summer game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitcher Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 22M OD would mean something around 70M OW for Mad3, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Still think Prometheus is in for a big drop tomorrow from word-of-mouth. No doubt today will be solid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 22M OD would mean something around 70M OW for Mad3, correct?No idea. It's a sequel so the jump might not be that big tomorrow. For instance, TS3 dropped on its first Saturday:http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=toystory3.htmAnd then again Shrek 4 jumped huge on Saturday, different month, but it did jump, by 38%.http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=shrek4.htmSo who knows.

What were audiences expecting? A cheerful, colorful Star Wars universe? I loved the film; I found it thrilling, entertaining, thought-provoking and fun. And the special effects and cinematography were brilliant. What would mainstream audiences complain about? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a real split from those who have seen it thus far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 It will drop because it is a R-rated Sci-Fi movie with huge upfront demand. Friday night is the peak for movies like this. WOM will come into play next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Madagascar hitting 65-70m OW will be epic. Some had already written it off for some reason. There hasn't been an animation in months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Also never underestimate family-friendly animated films, especially for a franchise like Madagascar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moviefanatic Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Were in for an excellent weekend if this is true. That would also mean M3 would win the weekend. If I'm not mistaken, there hasn't been an animated movie out since The Lorax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 The first weekend with 2 50M+ openers since the Wanted/Wall-E combo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
