I wonder if Warcraft just has a better preview turnout, or if everyone is off on Now You See Me

NYSM2 had a slightly higher Thursday then the first's $1.6 million. Warcraft might be a result of all the die hard fans seeing it as soon as possible.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Deadline Weekend Estimates:
Conjuring 2 - $33-35M
Warcraft - $31M
NYSM2 - $24.5M
I feel Deadline may be overestimating Warcraft's weekend predictions a bit - solid weekend overall though if the above rings true

It'll probably get there.
Planning on buying a lot of tickets?

I'm sure he'll buy as many as he can afford.
That's a stretch.
It's 5-10 years too late.
The trailers look like shit.
And the RT score is in the mid 20's.

China don't care

Hopefully the generally positive word of mouth(from regular viewers) helps it outside of China. The numbers in China are awesome though
The movie is going to make more than half of that amount in China alone. It will get there.

When we went to see it, we had all only heard good things outside of critics, it's rated 7.8 on user ratings at Imdb, and people are generally positive here on gaf. Those are all I'm able to base what I said on. Don't know how people feel elsewhere, but it seems to have good word of mouth.
China's first 3 days and overseas as of Thursday is over $200M. China has at least $100M left even if it is super frontloaded. Add in the rest of overseas and domestic.
China is the new savior. We all laughed at Terminator and China came along and slapped all of us.

I booked the whole theater for your birthday
If you don't show up I'm coming after you for the deposit

But the rumor says it needs 450M+ to get even. For a sequel, no idea.
Pacific Rim is getting a sequel on a larger budget and smaller worldwide take.
Warcraft doesn't deserve $3.1 million.
The theaters get a cut.

Probably accounting for the lopsided China grosses?

$450M is not net revenue - theater chains take a cut

Definitely not 'good'. Visually stunning like a motherfucker, but there's too many characters and they're all pretty ass.
Cool to see peeps like Ruth Negga and such in big ass films though

Damn, that sucks.
Should've went to see Harry Potter do some real magic tricks in NYSM2, now that's worth the price of admission.

If by "regular viewers" you mean "hardcore Warcraft fans," then yes, it generally has positive word of mouth from them.

Yeah I don't know shit about Warcraft besides playing Hearthstone a bit
I lol'd at one reference and was thoroughly confused for the rest of the movie

I mean regular viewers including people who don't know anything about warcraft. I wouldn't call them hardcore fans

As I mentioned, Deadline over-predicted Warcraft. New estimates are in with:
1). Conjuring 2 (WB/NL), 3,343 theaters / $16M Fri. (includes $3.4M previews) / 3-day cume: $37.1M/Wk 1
2). Warcraft (UNI/LEG), 3,400 theaters / $11M Fri. (includes $3.1M previews) / 3-day cume: $26.4M/Wk 1
3). Now You See Me 2 (LG), 3,232 theaters / $8M Fri. (includes $1.75M previews) / 3-day cume: $22.3M/Wk 1
Personally think NYSM2 may come in higher and Warcraft lower again (Deadline predicting a $500k decline from Saturday to Sunday for Warcraft - it don't make sense)

Conjuring 2's budget is $40 million. James Wan stays winning.
Tracking seemed a bit all over the place for Warcraft, but with it dipping as low as $20m, $26m doesn't seem too bad. But it's going to crater like crazy after this weekend.
Gonna go so see it tomorrow night. Never played the game, but there haven't been any movies I've been interested in the past few weeks, and I'm okay with a big dumb action movie.
In unrelated yet relevant news, rabbits give no fucks about gravity.
Zero. Fucks.
