$4.6 million Thursday for Pitch Perfect 2 per Deadline {nm} nilephelan May 15, 07:18

$3.7M for Mad Max warcraft86 May 15, 07:29

Much higher than I expected considering there wasn't a single sellout in a 100 mile radius. RollingThunder May 15, 07:30

Looks like it could be Fanboy frontloaded OW before WOM kicks in. RollingThunder May 15, 07:32

WOM should only help Mad Max. That is a really promising number for it, especially with Pitch Perfect 2 and Avengers as competition {nm} nilephelan May 15, 07:34

Avengers in its third weekend is no longer competition IMO. {nm} ~JPV~ May 15, 07:40

Or at least shouldn't be. And PP2 is female driven, though would love to see the breakdown. {nm} ~JPV~ May 15, 07:40

yeah but apparently MMAX is a feminist movie so... lol {nm} Dorfman May 15, 07:46

I fully expected WOM to be a factor - Friday could be impressive if walk-up business is brisk. RollingThunder May 15, 07:42

And what exactly is the WOM going to be? This is one of the best reviewed movies of all time. Front loaded until what WOM? {nm} goodvibe61 May 15, 08:30

I watched the movie and loved it. That being said...the movie seems pretty esoteric. Doesn't seem mainstream but who knows, maybe the public Catzan May 15, 12:55

A group of us saw Max last night, because of the ridiculous reviews. We were going to see it Saturday, but that RT score bumped our timeline {nm} HurricaneKid May 15, 09:35

I went to an 8:00 showing since 7:00 and 7:30 were sold out at the Drafthouse. That one had like 4 singles left MiyazakiFan May 15, 13:18

Mad Max will be around $3.5 million {nm} RupertPupkin May 15, 07:29

Updated article - Mad Max took in 3.7 {nm} mantleclinic May 15, 07:30

Both are excellent figures, I think. {nm} second gary May 15, 07:33

I think both have a really good shot of $50+ million opening with those numbers. Mad Max is 2.5 times higher than Kingsman for Thursday {nm} nilephelan May 15, 07:33
