baumer Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) http://www.variety.c...S|News|FilmNewsBox Office: 'Skyfall' aiming for $80 million debutSony-MGM pic playing better-than-expected at U.S. box officeBy Stuart OldhamJames Bond is celebrating his 50th anniversary in style.According to Friday afternoon estimates, Sony-MGM's "Skyfall" is on track for a mammoth $80 million-plus debut, which would mark the highest U.S. opening in 007 history.The 23rd Bond film (and the third starring Daniel Craig) is expected to draw $32 million-$37 million Friday, which includes last night's $4.6 million from Imax and midnight runs.A rep for Sony downplayed the $80 million estimate, saying the studio was eyeing "in the low 70's" for the weekend. Outside B.O. sources beg to differ. Edited November 11, 2012 by Breaking Dawn baumer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 With a 37 million Friday weekend probably looks to be 85-90 million.I think 90 million is still on the table with 35+ Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 With a 80 mill opening, 200 is on the table with a 2.5X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 With 37M OD, 90M is in play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I think 90 million is still on the table with 35+ Friday.Yeah, if you take the 37 million take out the 2.2 million from Thursday, and take midnights into account by giving Skyfall a multiplier slightly worse than Casino Royale gets you up to about 87+ million for the weekend. Including midnights but not Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I doubt it'd drop that much on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 I doubt it'd drop that much on Sunday.Why wouldn't it? QOS did....it's still football Sunday in the US plus there are CFL playoffs in Canada. Our box office will be down a little as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) 37352294 mill with QOS IM...off a 37 mill Fri.OD would only be 35 as they include the 2.2 Thursday IMAX gross. I'm thinking:34.834.7 +4% without midnights22.6 -35%OW 92.1 Edited November 10, 2012 by riczhang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I think that Sunday drop is perfectly reasonable, and I expect it. The question is how front-loaded is it on Friday. If it does open $36-37M, what kind of Saturday drop are we looking at? 10%? If WOM is great, maybe it's only 5? The core audience is also a little older.

BenedictL11 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Actually in 2007 (the last time a Sunday was on Veteran's Day), only one movie dropped more than 40%.CFL Playoffs were still there on Veteran's Day in 2007 but the drops were softer than normal. Plus, many banks have a holiday the next day.http://boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/?sortdate=2007-11-11&p=.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
