Oblivion is getting 2 screens at Broadway/AMC and MCL theaters. UA and GH are giving it the biggest screen. Conspirators is getting full day showings at most theaters. Will You Still Love Tomorrow? and I Give It A Year lag behind. Seven Psychopaths is getting a limited release in UA theaters while The Hunt crosses paths with the 2 arthouse theaters.

Holdovers are mixed. GI Joe 2 will get heavily crushed by the new competition but will be heading into its 3rd weekend with showtimes in almost all theaters. Croods is getting similar showtimes to GI Joe 2. Finding Mr. Right is gone from most MCL theaters but all Broadway/AMC and UA theaters will continue to show it for another week. Ip Man: The Final Fight will likely face limited showings at Broadway/AMC theaters. UA will keep this another week.

Ticket sales between Oblivion and Conspirators have been very close with Conspirators taking a slight lead at night over Oblivion. Thursday morning looks like a clear win for Conspirators so far. Oblivion will turn it around with walk-ins though.

Good for Oblivion. -5% from Battleship's opening day but had very strong walk-ins. Multiplier reached almost 8x for the day. So far so good across the reviews front. Holding a 91% approval rating from users. Great for Conspirators. Up a healthy 50% from Detective 2. Good hold for Finding Mr. Right. Decent for Saving General Yang. Pretty awful for GI Joe 2. Yikes for The Croods.

Oblivion has taken away the lead from Battleship in admissions. Battleship made more than 1.1m for the 4-day so if Oblivion can keep this up, it should be able to at least tie it in gross.

 

  Daily admissions (OW)        
  Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Total
Battleship 23,029 25,616 46,523 40,916 136,084
Oblivion 21,845 28,050     49,895
Gap -1,184 1,250 -44,089 -87,439  

Conspirators is still doing OK. It had the smallest increase of the top 10 but it will easily pass Detective 1 & 2's opening weekend. Excellent for Finding Mr. Right although Friday's are usually inflated for romance movies. Good for Saving General Yang. Bad for G.I. Joe 2. Not good for I Give It A Year even though it had the best increase. Awful for The Croods. Beating Wreck-It Ralph looked like a certainty 4 days ago...now, it looks like it will miss. How things change... Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? won't be loved tomorrow or the next day. Drug War snuck into the top 10 with sneaks. Very impressive considering that only a few theaters gave it Friday night sneaks. Bad for Ip Man: The Final Fight.
