Friday Numbers - ED 30M+, JP 17 (30M and 17M predicted OW)

[Impact]

Really interested in Evil Dead's drop next week.

Over 65%. Just a guess.

[filmscholar]

And that JP number proves why these 3D re-releases keep happening.

 

I don't think they should of canceled the "ID4-3D" re-release cause it's going to bank when it drops. 

[Heretic]

Scream 4 flopping was the most disappointing box office moment. It was depressing

[kitik]

Seems almost inevitable that the ED number will drop.

 

Yeah, but a $22M or $25M OW would still be great for such an extreme movie.

I remember tracking being at like mid twenties for scre4m and most members were laughing their asses off about how much they were underestimating the film.

It's amazing JP came out 20 years ago and it still can pull these numbers after it comes on TV and everyone had it on VHS, DVD. Amazing. This is what Timeless is people. A movie that will never get old. I'm shocked by "Evil Dead", Like shocked, I was thinking low 20's but 30's wow.

I hope they re-release independence day or twister next. Those would be awesome to see on the big screen. Evil Dead number doesn't surprise me at all. It's one of the few horror films advertised that I actually got freaked out from the trailer. It was also marketed very heavily. Now if WOM is good can we have another 100m horror franchise?

And I still don't get why they have to release them in 3D. Re-release some classics as they were meant to and you save on conversion and will make audiences just as happy.

 

 

 

They do well OS.

 

 

I'm more than happy to watch the regular old 2D versions on the big screen again, but Impact is right. The 3D conversions generate a profit overseas. The whole idea is to make money, and in general, converting to 3D makes the companies more money.

I thought Independence Day was a done deal?

Looks to be a good weekend at the box office.

Great number for Evil Dead. This should be a Friday evening movie so I wonder if $35 million is in play.

I was here when Scream 4 opened and I remember Baumer having a thread which he jokingly said it opened to $20MOD....the meltdowns  lol. Scream 4 was several years late plus it was a mediocre movie.

Oh is it? I haven't kept up with movies that much lately if it has I'll be there OW.

I was going to say I was wondering why everyone keeps thinking this is going to drop when obviously morning/afternoon shows will be less busy then the evening ones. This screams ( ) Friday night movie and I would bet it actually goes up from the 11m estimate and 30m weekend. Wouldn't be surprised to see it hit closer to 40 even. Though WOM will be the deciding factor.

Impressive for Evil dead

 

Not too shabby for JP3D either

I think the assumption is that the daytime/nighttime ratio for movies like this and Croods is already factored in.

It's outright nutty to imagine an Evil Dead reboot could open higher than not only a Scream reboot, but a Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot (with 3D) and perhaps even a Nightmare on Elm Street reboot. The only 80's horror franchise it wouldn't be beating is Friday the 13th. Sony's marketing team deserves a cookie.

Not even that.

 

 

Everyone gets a single plate.

It was a fantasy movie. A 70lb five foot 17 year old girl and her 80lb five foot 17 year old boyfriend are suppose to be the killers??? Really?
