Re: Early Wednesday Numbers (Only The Help) That is a good number, it should cross $25m for 5-day with this number.

Re: Early Wednesday Numbers (Only The Help) $5M opening day is good for this film, but I only care about Apes' and Zookeepers' number.

Re: Early Wednesday Numbers (Only The Help) What would be a reasonable Friday increase for this? I was thinking 55-60%.

Could even go higher due to the wom - if there's sufficient teen/fanbase turnout Wed the Thurs might drop a lot but then the general audience turns up for the weekend.

Re: Early Wednesday Numbers (Only The Help) ERC: Quote: Disney's THE HELP was #1 on Wednesday cleaning up $5.5 million. Edit: Whoops, looks like I was beaten to it.

Re: Early Wednesday Numbers (Only The Help) That means Apes must've had a monster drop.

Re: Early Wednesday Numbers (Only The Help) THR says Help projected to do 20 for 5 day - it's doing a lot more than that.

Re: Early Wednesday Numbers (Only The Help) I don't think they have updated their predictions after these updates started coming out.

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

Re: Early Wednesday Numbers (Only The Help) 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.

Re: Early Wednesday Numbers (Only The Help) 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.

Re: Early Wednesday Numbers (Only The Help) I've always thought Bryce Dallas Howard was super-hot, so I hope she crushes those mouthy bitches in the third act.

Re: Early Wednesday Numbers (Only The Help) Big drop for Apes. Still running ahead of G.I. Joe but looks like a mid 50% drop at best now.

Re: Early Wednesday Numbers (Only The Help) 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.
