That's a pre-release prediction and they're just throwing darts as demonstrated from the change from 65 to 49 to 51 within 7 days, {nm}
BORN5 $22.71, BMOMS $9.6, TREK3 $6.75, PETS $5.53 Jul 30, 08:19
BORN5 has a slightly higher opening day than TREK3 even though its Thursday #s were lower. {nm} Jul 30, 08:20
Bourne didnt have Imax or marathons to gfb pump up Thursday totals {nm} Jul 30, 08:53
for Bmom there was a heavy group sales push for Thursday which could explain weaker overall Friday {nm} Jul 30, 08:56
I guess the babysitters used the money they made on Thursday to go see Nerve on Friday. {nm} Jul 30, 09:05
Niiiice... so the $50-$55M estimates were about $10M too low. {nm} Jul 30, 09:11
Surprised considering the reviews really aren't stellar. {nm} Jul 30, 09:12
I saw it, discussion inside (vague spoils) Jul 30, 10:00
not sure which estimates you are talking about, but based off early Fri #'s, lowest was 55. no one had 50 {nm} Jul 30, 09:17
One of the trades said it was tracking at $35 million earlier in the week. {nm} Jul 30, 09:19
I think there were others, but Box Office Pro had it down for $51M... Jul 30, 09:21
That's a pre-release prediction and they're just throwing darts as demonstrated from the change from 65 to 49 to 51 within 7 days, Jul 30, 09:29
Antibody, you're not supposed to actually reveal their methods:)... {nm} Jul 30, 09:34
Nobody knows anything. {nm} Jul 30, 10:06
Including that fact. :) {nm} Jul 30, 10:30
We knew it wouldn't do 5 or 200, that narrows the range of knowledge somewhat ;) {nm} Jul 30, 10:35
Well, until a movie actually opens, most "numbers" or estimates are just a "prediction." {nm} Jul 30, 09:41
Oh, I agree...that's why AFTER a movie opens it's clearer how the numbers play out, no "guessing" needed. {nm} Jul 30, 09:47
My original post was only meant to mean - estimates (guesses) were low, that's all. {nm} Jul 30, 09:49
Your incorrect use of "estimates" was confusing to us. {nm} Jul 30, 09:54
Got it, I should have made that clearer. {nm} Jul 30, 10:09
they need better darts {nm} Jul 30, 10:41
I admit - I saw $50M for this movie's opening, so it exceeded my expectations... Jul 30, 09:28
That includes thursday night right? So only around 8 {nm} Jul 30, 12:13
18 for friday {nm} Jul 30, 12:14
