Friday Estimates: Dinosaurs Dominate, Incredibles Still Doing Good
June 23, 2018
Despite earning mixed reviews, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’s opened on Friday with $58.68 million. It also earned an A minus from CinemaScore, so audiences liked it more than critics, and that should help it over the rest of the weekend, earning about $144 million. Granted, this is significantly lower than what Jurassic World opened with, but it didn’t fall as much as anticipated, so Universal should be happy with this result.
On the other hand, stronger than anticipated competition left Incredibles 2 lower on Friday with $24.04 million. It will bounce back over the rest of the weekend, and an $80 million sophomore stint is still excellent, even though it won’t match our prediction of $90 million.
Back to the positive news, Ocean’s 8 held on better than expected with $3.44 million on Friday, which means it might get to $100 million by the end of the weekend. I wasn’t expecting that.
