Weekend Numbers: Oblvi: 38.1 42: 18 mill (starting pg 10)

[A Marvel Fanboy]

FRIDAY 8 AM EXCLUSIVE: Universal’s Oblivion is predicted to open with $30+M this weekend after starting out strong overseas. It’s Thursday late shows and Friday midnights grossed an estimated $1,103,839 from 1,741 theaters. Hard to talk about comps because the sneaky studios keep starting their weekend previews earlier and earlier and then fold in those Thursday 7 PM and 10 PM grosses into the Friday midnight totals to pad first-day numbers. The result is that the so-called ‘midnight’ numbers have become actual ‘late show’ numbers and I’ll keep referring to them as such. I also consider them worthless for predicting strength or weakness. MORE LATER

"It’s Thursday late shows and Friday midnights grossed an estimated $1,103,839"That's quite the accurate estimate -_-"

What was it tracking at?

Just saw this in IMAX 70mm. Wow! It is the best use of the format that I have seen so far. It looks as if they filmed the entire movie with IMAX cameras. I think it was shot with a Sony Digital camera but the results are beyond stunning. 

 

As for the actual film, I really enjoyed it and can't wait to see it again. While it is derivative of a lot of other sci-fi films, I would be disappointed if this wasn't made for that reason. Definitely an incredible theater experience!

20s if I'm not mistaken.

Well 1.1 m is much better than Battleship which only had $400,000 and only made 25 m for the weekend so thats kind of plus.

Sorry Tom, America is watching the news tonight.

See I was disappointed! It actually took up less of the screen then Tron did. We have a giant Imax and Oblivion used only about half of the screen. Tron used 3/4th. TDK used full.
