Estimated Wknd Numbers - BD2(141.3M) Skyfall(41.5M) Lincoln(21M)

If Rth has said 63-65m , I can't see it missing that by more than 2m on either side.

I'm inclined to say 2 mill higher for 67. That seems at least a little bit more reasonable for a movie like this.

[tracygee]

Lol, any more people want to come in and tell her that?

Five or six more people would help. I didn't get it he first few times.

[Noctis]

I still think this will do right around Eclipse's OD number. I'd be stunned if it "just" did $60m.

[JackO]

I think we're all bored. Any chance to throw real numbers around and we jump at it.If this really is a $65M Friday, are we going to assume this may not be as frontloaded as previous installments? Or is it really going to drop off that much from BD1?

Hope not. It would be really really bad if was as frontloaded as BD1.

Gee.... sorry...

lol No it was just funny that like 10 of us at once corrected her.

We all are a bunch of box office pundits, aren't we?

[cozmeesah]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOStill no SLP/Anna K I suppose.

Heh? Anna K is only limited and SLP isn't out til Wed in 400 theaters.

[Travod]

Heh? Anna K is only limited and SLP isn't out til Wed in 400 theaters.

SLP is also limited. Both are in 16 theaters.I care about their theater averages more than Twilight.

Uhh 135M would be ok, but I want 140M minimum.

[seduh]

a $65 OD means only $35 on friday so a $33 saturday and a $21.5 sunday = $119.5 (the worst three day OW since the first film) it will make $230 total, it will be profitable, but a big fall for a final chapter. I can't believe Skyfall will male only $31 with a $5,2 thrusday i expect $12 friday, $17 saturday and $11 sunday= $40 second weekend (-55%) that's the lowest i can see Bond

[Mango]

Wow. Not that $65 million is bad or anything but I wasn't expecting this to drop off at all from BD1. It's even worse when you factor in that probably at least half the $30.4 million from previews/midnights probably should be going towards a seperate Thursday gross, and not Friday.

[cozmeesah]

Oh well, we most likely won't get those early. Not with BD2 & Lincoln opening.

[spizzer]

If it does indeed make 120M for the weekend, it won't even break 250M.

[kells]

Variety says $66M Friday.

Summit Entertainment's "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2" is heading for a colossal weekend as fans rush to say goodbye, but its estimated $135 million will fall short of a franchise record.According to early Friday returns, the fifth and final "Twilight" will clock in with a hefty $66 million for the day, likely putting it behind "Breaking Dawn -- Part 1's" franchise-best opening of $138 million.In second place, Sony-MGM's "Skyfall" is continuing to shake up the U.S. box office with an estimated $40 million weekend, only a 51% drop from its Stateside debut. DreamWorks "Lincoln," meanwhile, is also drawing a considerable amount of adult auds with an impressive $21 million from only 1,775 screens. "Lincoln" will continue to expand nationwide next week."Breaking Dawn," based on the popular novels from Stephenie Meyer, earned an additional $38.5 million Thursday from 37 international terrirtories. Pic expanded to 61 territories, including the U.S. and Canada, Friday.

Why the hell do they keep ignoring NM?

[cozmeesah]

How are they getting 135 from a 65 Friday ? Someone enlighten me.

[Derpity]

Variety and Deadline are the same company, hence the same faulty numbers, and the same ignoring of New Moon.
