[narniadis]

well we all better hope that the down trend stops there otherwise we could end up with a 7m OD or less... yuck

Random:

 

'The Hobbit' closed yesterday with $303M, meaning 'Skyfall' is officially the highest-grossing Holiday 2012 movie

2/7 would be an incredible hold for The Croods

[JackO]

New numbers are more what I expected from openers

[kayumanggi]

It's even lower as per guru:

 

FRI heading to about $7M+ for #PainAndGain, $3M for BigWedding. Opening wknds shd be in area of $20M & $9M.

Before people start falling apart, I'd like to point out to everybody that it says $7M PLUS. Which means that it could still be more like $8million.

 

On the other hand, if it's Friday number turns out to be more like $7.01M, then there's no way it's hitting $20 million for the weekend, and Oblivion might have a shot at hanging on to #1.

FRIDAY 6 PM, 2ND UPDATE: Uh-oh, everything is heading lower. Pain & Gain (2,950 theaters) is still #1 today and this weekend. My sources say that based on matinee trends it should open with $8 million today – including $750K in Thursday evening/Friday midnights – and a projected $21M weekend.

 

#2 is Tom Cruise’s Oblivion which was in the top spot last week and has a gifrom Universal with $5.3M Friday and an expected $17M this weekend.

 

#3 is Legendary Pictures’ Frankie Robinson biopic 42 with $4M Friday and $13M weekend.

 

#4 is Millenium/Lionsgate’s alleged romcom The Big Wedding (2,633 theaters) opening today with $3M Friday and $9M weekend. Reviews were Awful

 

#5 is DreamWorks Animation’s The Croods toon from Fox with $2M Friday and $7M weekend.

 

LOL

LMAO @ Nikki's "Frankie Robinson" biopic. I can see summer is bringing out the crazy in her like normal. We can only hope the queen gives us another "Not a record" level statement next weekend to have fun with all summer .

[Mattrek]

I may just be saved if p and g continues to drop

[Incarnadine]

It's a pretty blah weekend when I'm most excited seeing The Croods prediction at 7 million this weekend (an excellent number).

I hope it tops The Big Wedding for the weekend. That one looks truly unforgivable. DeNiro back to his downward spiral again I see.

[Dementeleus]

$13m would be great for "42". If WEDDING only does $3m for today, no way it hits a 3x multiplier.

I have a feeling that a lot of the Big Wedding crowd isn't exactly on facebook or following reviews on social media.

[Mattrek]

Someone really needs to update the title.

[Alpha]

Pain and Gain should end up with $21-25M based on the revised Friday figures. Above-average opening, above my expectations as well.

[Incarnadine]

Big Wedding does look bad, but even so I considered seeing it because I like Seyfried, but that was negated by the fact I despise Heigl.

If it hits 7m only, it won't hit 20m.

Especially if that 7 mil is including the 750k midnights.
