Probably not.

So Nikki updated.18m for Bourne for Friday. That is awesome."looks to open with $18M today and $48M for the weekend."

Hope Spings Cinemascore : B

Flixster is already down to 70%? WOM going to be pretty bad on this one.

[Shawn Robbins]

Welcome back, everyone. The last 48 hours instantly gave me even more respect for all of the forum admins out in the world. Whew.

[MovieMan89]

18m is a crazy good OD for TBL. I wouldn't be surprised to see immediate WOM kick in tomorrow though and a good Sat decrease.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

45M might be right to go.

"Finally, Sony Pictures opened Meryl Streep’s latest adult fare Hope Springs midweek to get out in front of this weekend’s clutter. Good strategy because it posted numbers bigger than the studio’s own Total Recall – $2.2M Wednesday and $2.1M Thursday. It’s doing $4M-$5M today and likely $12M this weekend for a possible cume near $165M. More later."

There is so much confusion here. I won't even try to understand this part.

The Dark Hope Springs Rises

Hope Springsmidweek to get out in front of this weekend’s clutter. Good strategy because it posted numbers bigger than the studio’s own Total Recall – $2.2M Wednesday and $2.1M Thursday. It’s doing $4M-$5M today and likely $12M this weekend for a possible cume near $165M. More later.

Oh Nikke!

That's a good number for The Campaign, save for TDKR, WB was not having good year so far

I never really thought it would be 'bad' movie per say, just a generic action film. This hate is surprising me!

Yeah, this isn't 2000 or even 2008. Twitter has grown so much over the last few years, WOM spreads instantly. No way of hiding your film's quality for an entire weekend like Sony did with SM3 in 2007. If WOM is as bad as Twitter and Flixster seem to indicate, it wouldn't be surprising if this is very frontloaded over the weekend.

Not buying the $18 million Friday number just yet.

[BenedictL11]

Nikki's lowballing Springs' 3-day portion. If it gets just $4M, it will get in the $13M range in its 3day portion with $17-18M in 5-days. For movie skewed mostly older, pretty impressive.

It is a boring movie with no action, according to people that have see it.And apparently, according to Nikki, Hope Springs is a fucking beast that it is approaching 165M!

It's perfectly acceptable, but considering the Steep/TLJ combo, good reviews, and the relative starvation of movies for the older crowd this summer I expected better.

Yeah, I'm not impressed with it so far.

Its cinemascore is B. Audience didn't like it very much.
