Thursday Night Previews: Fallout Rises to the Top
July 27, 2018
Mission: Impossible—Fallout had the best previews in the franchise with $6 million; although that’s a bit of a backhanded compliment, as only Rogue Nation is new enough to be part of the preview era of Hollywood releases. That film pulled in $4 million during its previews; however, it also opened three years ago when previews were not as lucrative, so it is not a good comparison. On the other hand, The Equalizer 2 is a solid comparison as both are action sequels. If the two films have the same legs, then Fallout will open with nearly $70 million. Its reviews strongly suggest it will have better legs, but the long-running franchise suggests slighly longer legs. Overally, I’m still happy with our $67 million prediction and I expect the film to earn a little more than that, but be close enough to call it a victory.
Teen Titans Go! To the Movie was well back with $1 million, but $1 million isn’t bad for a animated kids movie. Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation opened with $2.6 million and if the two films have the same legs, then Teen Titans Go! To the Movie will pull in $17 million, a little more than we predicted. However, To the Movie has much better reviews and it isn’t a sequel, so $20 million isn’t out of reach. That’s twice the $10 million it cost to make this movie.
