Saturday Box Office Update: ‘Fast 6’ Destroys The Competition

So, Fast and Furious 6 made 39 million dollars on Friday, zooming past all competitors, heading for a 4 day total of around 120M. That’s huge for a franchise on its sixth leg.

The Great Gatsby managed to add another 3.9 million on … Continue reading Saturday Box Office Update: ‘Fast 6’ Destroys The Competition

‘Furious 6’ opens to 6.5 mil. midnights

Weekend Box Office- May 10th-12th- Gatsby Dramatically Overperforms

Even the most aware box office predictors weren’t predicting Gatsby’s phenomenal opening. Most of us had a realistic idea of how many people Baz Luhrmann could appease, and it was nowhere near 50 million. 1) Iron Man 3- 72.4 weekend, 284.8 total It didn’t quite meet my expectation of a 78 million weekend, but it held OK, dropping only 58% in week two. It still proved to be the movie to beat, though all that will change next weekend with Star Trek: Into Darkness cutting into the box office. 2) The Great Gatsby- 51.1 weekend, 51.1 total Massive. I would … Continue reading Weekend Box Office- May 10th-12th- Gatsby Dramatically Overperforms
