but isn't that the reason for excitement? when an animated film, geared squared toward families, brings out

adults?

thinking of Big Hero, I can see why it would get $1.4M.  It was geared towards families, but it was also heavily geared towards the superhero crowds (young males).

my hope is that the crowds that came out last night did so solely on looking to see a well reviewed film.  because you're going to get the families over the weekend, but to open massive you need a lot of them.  other groups can help push this into break-out territory.

that said, it's a wait and see game.  it now needs a $18-$19M Friday (not including the $1.7m) to have a decent shot at $70M.  anything over that would be gravy.

What did Olympus make on thursday? {nm} RamsFan2004 Mar 04, 07:51

I don't have a preview # for it, it may not have had them {nm} Roger More Mar 04, 07:55

Am I crazy or is 850k a decent number? {nm} RamsFan2004 Mar 04, 08:03

IMO, should fall in-line with tracking. I see low 20's as the best case scenario. {nm} RollingThunder Mar 04, 08:05

I was hoping for higher than that. i think sub 20 at this point {nm} Oleg Max Mar 04, 08:14

My official prediction was $18m and I could see it landing there. At least it won't be a total bomb. {nm} RollingThunder Mar 04, 08:17

You're crazy ;). It's in the same ballpark as XPND3, GOEGP, JWICK, UNCLE, 13HRS etc. All sub-$20m openers (over 3 days) {nm} RogerMore Mar 04, 08:14

no, that's DOA number IMO. {nm} lobogotti Mar 04, 08:16

GBUTL is going to lead a bomb two weeks in a row. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Mar 04, 08:25
