Early Weekend #s - The Call Ahead Of Wonderstone!

[Plain Old Tele]

ALICE dropped 46%.

[rockNrollaDIM]

How is the Oz hold surprising? It's roughly what I expected 40-43 million range.

Oz was great so who cares. Great numbers.

[riczhang]

ALICE dropped 46%.

And if opened above 100M.... OMFG

[Kvikk Lunsj]

ALICE dropped 46%.

Thank you old wise one. 

[Fake]

Oz should drop better than Alice.

[kitik]

wow, impressive that The Call beat Burt Wonderstone by 2 million

[ChD]

The Call over Wonderstone really surprised me. Didn't even think The Call had a chance at 10M...

[JohnnY]

I'm not surprised Wonderstone is disappointing, I'm surprised at The Call opening higher than 10m

[DoctorWho]

Bippity, Boppity, Bomb! WB's BURT WONDERSTONE was incredibly limp, rolling out w/ just $3.7M in its debut.

 

Harmony Korine's SPRING BREAKERS scored a ridiculous $100k in just 3 theaters yesterday. Party on, Wayne.

 

As expected, Disney's OZ was #1 again w/ $11.6M yesterday. Total is now $114M in 8 days.

 

Sony's THE CALL woke up audiences, as it was #2 dialing up $6.2M in its Friday debut.

Strong friday for Oz. Looks like it's doing just fine.

SPRING BREAK!! Look at that PTA!Burt Wonderstone kind of shocks me. Audiences didn't even like it? I thought it would be a crowd pleaser.

The Spring Breakers number made my jaw drop. Good job, A24. Damn, I can't wait to see it.

Good for Oz! Identity Thief and SLP runs are just amazing. Ouch once again for WB.

 

And will Spring Breakers expand next week? Very surprised with its very high PTA in 3 theaters

600 theaters next weekend.

[Krissykins]

Excellent for The Call, but I don't see it getting a multiplier to $18m. Glad it's a hit for Halle Berry.Didn't know what Burt Wonderstone was but I hate Jim Carrey with a passion so I'm glad it's tanked. Wow at Spring Breakers.

[JohnnY]

So the RS/MTC rule did work for both movies, The Call broke out and Wonderstone flopped.
