 Re: Weekend Estimates
Great hold for Edge of Tomorrow. Will probably go sub-40 next weekend with no big new direct competition. And I think Fault can do sub-45% next weekend.

 Re: Weekend Estimates
Fault down 10% Saturday. I suppose that first Saturday drop looks a bit better now that we see its pattern. The Saturday was worse than even I expected, it was the Friday that was deceptive. I expect it to drop with actuals as I don't think it will hold 37% on Fathers Day.
DOFP is on pace for over 235m at the moment.

So Edge of Tomorrow will end up with Elysium numbers? If legs keep up,100 million is possible.

 Re: Weekend Estimates
Excellent start for 22 Jump Street. An increase from the first one was always in the cards, but it's mightily impressive to see it nab one of the biggest opening weekends on record for an R-rated film. Sony did a great job of selling it as a bigger event than its predecessor, and the move to summer certainly paid off.
Disappointing opening for Dragon 2. There's already more than enough analysis on the film's performance elsewhere on the forum, so suffice it to say that the film could and should have gone higher, but it's not doing badly, either. With summer weekdays and limited direct competition up until the Planes sequel, it still has a shot at hitting $200 million.
Maleficent is still doing really well, even despite competition from Dragon this weekend. $220-225 million could be a reachable goal, and we finally have our first somewhat leggy film of the season.
Edge of Tomorrow held up decently. Hopefully it will continue to hold up well, although I don't think it's going to have the stamina to top $100 million.
The Fault in Our Stars took a big hit, but that was expected. We'll see where it goes from here, but if the last week is any indication of where it's going from here, the weekday business is going to be especially important to watch.
X-Men nailed a great hold, even if it's too late after two big drops.
Godzilla could squeeze past $200 million if all goes well from here on out.
A Million Ways to Die in the West and Neighbors both held a little bit better than I was expecting, although both were expectedly and understandably hit hard by the size of 22 Jump Street's opening.

 Re: Weekend Estimates
Fairly soft debut for The Rover considering the star power and ultra-limited theatre count.
Focus completely fumbled The Signal. Bizarre release.

 Re: Weekend Estimates
Based on the %'s on movietickets.com, it would seem that Dragon either had a great day, 22JS had a bad day, or both. Dragon was easily out in front of 22JS in ticket sales on the site. Also, EoT, Maleficent, and X-Men all increased while FAULT fell out of the top 5. I"m expecting a 45%+ drop for it since it's like the anit-Father's Day movie. It will easily have the best Monday hold though.

 Re: Weekend Estimates
Spidey is $1.7m away from $200m coming off a $960k weekend. Could be touch and go, but I think it will do it.

 Re: Weekend Estimates
By that time it will be making around $30k per day. That weekend will mean nothing.

 Re: Weekend Estimates
It might get a late-summer bump. Perhaps Sony will reissue it as a double feature with 22 Jump Street in the dog days.
