Taylor Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Raunch ruled overnight at the domestic box office. Universal’s R-rated teddy bear comedy Ted debuted with stunningly strong $2.625M from midnight showings at 1,090 theaters. While Warner Bros’ beefcake strippersMagic Mike took in a huge $2.050M from just one show at midnight in 1,100 locations. “Off to a great start!” a WB exec gushed this morning. Both pics are receiving great reviews and major pre-sales going into this weekend that kicks off Fourth Of July week. http://www.deadline....e-2m-midnights/' Edited June 29, 2012 by Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) LOL I knew this would be close. Ted edged out MM in the midnights. Crazy. This will be a great, great weekend. Ted wuill probably win the weekend. But as I said in the other thread, this thing can go either way. Edited June 29, 2012 by ECSTASY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superduperm Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 That is amazing. Rise of the Planet of the Apes last year did about $1.254M and that was with a fanbase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Which ones? Well, MM and Ted seem to open over 30m. Brave is a lock and I expect Tyler Perry to challenge 30m also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierceHawthorne Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yep but MM had one show, so technically, it did better than Ted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 That is amazing. Rise of the Planet of the Apes last year did about $1.254M and that was with a fanbase!Ted has the Seth MacFarlane fanbase and Magic Mike has the Channing Tatum's abs fanbase.
