That is a good number, it should cross $25m for 5-day with this number. |

$5M opening day is good for this film, but I only care about Apes' and Zookeepers' number. |

What would be a reasonable Friday increase for this? I was thinking 55-60%. |

That means Apes must've had a monster drop. |

THR says Help projected to do 20 for 5 day - it's doing a lot more than that. |

I don't think they have updated their predictions after these updates started coming out. |

| Post subject: | Re: Early Wednesday Numbers (Only The Help) |
They say Disney says 20 (predictably low), others 25+. It'll be 25+. |

Films targeting African-American audience tend to have higher Friday increase, while the book's popularity could make Thursday drop a little higher. Still given the WOM, a smaller scale of The Blind Side type of run could be brewing. |

Variety makes the mistake in their box office analysis of calling this a "modest" start because it's less than The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 did three years ago on a similar Wednesday opening. The error with that thinking is that The Help skews MUCH older than that film did (it was 70%+ over 25, right?), so even with the book's fanbase, it will not be as clearly frontloaded as a movie aimed primarily at teenage girls. Plus obviously the A+ CinemaScore is a distinguishing factor. |

Some days you just can't get rid of The Help. |

I've always thought Bryce Dallas Howard was super-hot, so I hope she crushes those mouthy bitches in the third act. |

Big drop for Apes. Still running ahead of G.I. Joe but looks like a mid 50% drop at best now. |

Big Wednesday drops. Some of the lower ones could be due to loss of the theaters, but mostly because of the high Tuesday increases. |

Plus obviously the A+ CinemaScore is a distinguishing factor. It's notable that Sisterhood OTTP2 is not only also a book adaptation but a sequel - so in a sense it has two more frontloading factors than Help, without getting into genre-specific or racial factors. Probably it will be more like World Trade Center (-25% on Thu) which just has one major frontloading factor - the adaptation one. |
