30 M from a 6 M Friday?

I think RE5 gonna lose to Nemo ?

All FN wants to do is get to 400 million. Requires about 60m from the re-release, so 22-23m opening won't hurt its chances much.

We don't know..... FN could jump 50%, could jump 80%..... we don't know.

Not Without A Fight. Fishes are going down.

[druv10]

uh...what Nikke? I'm confused.

Why? RE4 made most of the money OS and that was the reason we got RE5. RE5 will make most of its money OS.

#1 is still open. Depends on where Nemo and RE5 end up in final estimates. Giving the edge to Nemo though.

[narniadis]

Decent numbers if they hold.... our crowd tonight for RE was decent but not great for what I know the theater can do....

[rockNrollaDIM]

Expected but solid. You go Alice.

RE5's numbers need to go up! D:

Thing people didn't realize was that Nemo DVDs were in circulation since it came out in 2003 to earlier this year. Lion King was out of print since 2004 (blame the "Disney Vault") and therefore higher in demand. 6m is good, it could do 21-23 with that, but it was never going to touch TLK. Hard to blame a re-release for "disappointing" since between TLK, Titanic, Nemo and Raiders these are really just glorified advertisements for Blu-Ray releases.

Also, hell yeah The Master!

Thanks for the specifics. I made a similar point in the FN Over TLK thread, but I wasn't sure if TLK was "OOP" before the re-release.

So RE5's OD beats the anything that came out last week. Nice, but not that nice considering how weak the boxoffice has been

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

Considering that the RE films are starting to blend together, I think it's a fine OD.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

I just noticed that we have the two Paul Andersons with films out this week. Not sure why I never noticed that before, but still pretty funny.

I'm happy with the potential Nemo numbers, Lion King 3D was a unique case

Nemo is too recent to do what the lion king did IMO; Jungle Book, Tarzan and a few others down the road, maybe.

[AniNate]

Nemo 2. May 27, 2016. Book It. Done.

[JackO]

Only in box office can you predict something so wrong and then end up still being close in the big picture.

Yeah but that has nothing to do with it's domestic weekend numbers.
