FRIDAY JANUARY 4 BOX OFFICE REPORT
Posted January 5, 2013 by Mitch Metcalf
Based on Friday’s grosses, Weekend #1 of 2013 is on pace for $124 million, very much line with the comparable weekend in previous years. Texas Chainsaw 3D is opening somewhat better than forecast ($22.5 million versus our forecast of $17.8 million), while Django Unchained continues to perform solidly. In limited release, The Impossible is stronger than forecast […]

WEEKEND STUDIO ESTIMATES February 8-10
Posted February 10, 2013 by Mitch Metcalf
Based on Saturday’s grosses, Weekend #6 of 2013 is looking a little stronger than it did yesterday (now $89 million for the top 12 films versus the $84 million estimate based only on Friday’s results). But this is still over 46% behind the pace for the same weekend the last few years. […]

Posted March 10, 2013 by Mitch Salem
OPENINGS: OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL (Disney) is having an oddly topsy-turvy weekend. On the one hand, in the US it got the Saturday bump it needed from family audiences, rising 37% (better than Alice in Wonderland, although nowhere near The Lorax), allowing it to claim a $80.3M weekend.

BEHIND THE FRIDAY BOXOFFICE – 5/3/13
Posted May 4, 2013 by Mitch Salem
OPENINGS: IRON MAN 3 (Disney) was exactly where it was expected to be, its $68.3M US opening day (the 8th largest ever) considerably higher than Iron Man 2‘s $51.2M, but not quite in a league with The Avengers’ $80.8M. That should mean a $170M-ish weekend. Meanwhile, Iron 3 has made a spectacular $388.3M internationally […]

BEHIND THE (4-DAY) WEEKEND BOXOFFICE – 5/27/13
Posted May 27, 2013 by Mitch Salem
OPENINGS: FAST & FURIOUS 6 (Universal) dropped 16% on Sunday and estimates a 13% slip on Monday–that latter number may be a little overoptimistic, but even if it turns out that the 4-day total is $119M instead of $120M, it matters very little except to Universal’s press people. FF6 was easily the 4th best […]
