4th UPDATE, FRIDAY 9:25 PM: It’s early, but here’s what it looks like right now — a big weekend as expected with the two opening sequels doing outstanding numbers. After a phemon Thursday late night and strong matinees today, Sony/MGM’s 22 Jump Street looks to take in around $24M on a path to an arresting $61.7M to $62M or higher for the three-day to best Ted’s opening of $54.4M two years ago. That means Sony will have bragging rights as the biggest debut for an R-rated comedy. The Jonah Hill/Channing Tatum sequel is also on its 22-Jump-Street-Jenko-and-Schmidtway to best the first installment’s opening by about 70%. And overseas, Sony slid the pic into the UK right before the World Cup kick off to an $8.2M opening, roughly three times the gross of the original film and 47% more than recent hit Neighbors. I’m looking forward to seeing this film’s CinemaScore tonight.
Hookfang_snotlout_gallery1The other opener, Fox/DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon 2, which debuted in late nights with $2M and also enjoyed strong matinee business, so far is expected to take in about $18M+ Friday to tally around $50.5M for the weekend — that would be about 15% increase from the first installment which bowed four years ago. It’s opening in 20 markets internationally this weekend. This animated pic, one of the best I’ve seen come out of DreamWorks Animation in a while, is expected to do much better than Jump Street overseas. (Why? The humor of 22 has a hard time translating well outside of English-speaking countries).
The Tom Cruise sci-fi actioner Edge of Tomorrow, which is still on IMAX this weekend splitting the time with Dragon 2, is holding with a 44% drop in its sophomore frame, but audiences never came for the opening weekend which was badly needed for this big-budget Warner Bros.’ film. After a very strong 2014 start, the studio seems to be flagging a bit. After this weekend, Edge will have only grossed about $56.5M but double that overseas. Still not enough.
the-fault-in-our-stars-1200-800-new-clip-the-fault-in-our-stars-grenade-scene-will-destroy-youFox’s The Fault in Our Stars, as expected will take a big hit in its second weekend, down about 60% as it looks right now and that’s after adding 100 theaters. But with a cume after this weekend of around $84.5M, it’s profitable and that’s what matters.
The other Fox property in the Top Ten, its franchise X-Men: Days of Tomorrow will pass $200M domestically after four weeks (with a ww tally of over $625M after this weekend), while Sony will have to wait next week before it sees The Amazing Spider-Man 2 go past the threshold; Spidey’s cume will be at about $198.2M after seven long weeks in release. And Warner Bros./Legendary Pics’ Godzilla may become the only $90M opener in history never to reach $200M; it just opened huge in China for the studio. This is what it looks like right now. Will update later.
