Very, very early estimates via Deadline Hollywood:
Friday Estimates
1. Clash of the Titans - $30M.
2. Why Did I Get Married Too - $13M
3. How To Train Your Dragon - $11.2M
4. The Last Song - $7M
5. Alice In Wonderland - $3M
Thoughts:
Clash opens very similarly to Fast & Furious last year (which ended up grossing $70M OW), but estimates say Clash is going for $65M. I guess that's expecting a big drop on Saturday (word of mouth is poor). This film was tracking much bigger during the week so anything less than $70M and the biggest April opener will seem like a miss to some.
Why Did I Get Married Too almost doubles its predecessor's opening day and looks to get to $30M. Another hit for Tyler Perry and Co.
How To Train Your Dragon holds well, but I still think it should have held better considering how great its weekday numbers were. It's gaining a lot of ground on Monsters vs Aliens which is like a blueprint to its run. (MvA was another Dreamworks animation that opened on the same weekend as Dragon last year) Here's hoping it hits $30M.
The Last Song follows up a $5M opening day with a $7M Friday. Much better showing for any stars breaking away from their core franchices (like Robert Pattison "Remember Me", Kristen Stewart "The Runaways" recently) so this will be a win for her. Going for a $16M weekend.
Alice is hoping to reach $8M this weekend after losing many of its 3D screens to Clash.
