That includes limited Wednesday early shows and previews that began at 2PM yesterday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tKnock on wood this one opens to its tracking, meaning north of $40M; we don\u2019t need any movies underperforming. The fall, though ahead of last year by +2% with some $674M+, is OK but not vibrant with myriad starry adult movies like Dwayne Johnson\u2019s The Smashing Machine and Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell\u2019s A Big Bold Beautiful Journey not working. The male-heavy Tron Ares faces competition from MLB playoffs this weekend as well as NFL. Good news: Rotten Tomatoes audience score stands at 86% to the previous installment, 2010\u2019s Tron: Legacy which did 64% fresh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tTron: Ares previews are certainly ahead of Tron: Legacy\u2018s preview cash which was $3.6M, but that was back in the era of the midnight preview. Right now, it\u2019s look like Tron: Ares will file under such fanboy reboots as last year\u2019s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes ($6.6M total previews) and Alien: Romulus ($6.5M). It\u2019s also under that of Lionsgate\u2019s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds &amp; Snakes ($5.8M). Advance ticket sales we told you for Tron:Ares were at $7M before opening on par with Alien: Romulus, which opened to $42M. Songbirds &amp; Snakes bowed to $45M. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tPreviews for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm1461392\/?ref_=tt_ov_1_1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Joachim R\u00f8nning<\/a> movie are ahead of Equalizer 3 which yielded a $3.8M preview and $35M 3-day opening. The movie, produced by its star Jared Leto and former Disney Head of Production Sean Bailey, cost $180M before P&amp;A. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tMiramax and Paramount\u2019s Channing Tatum-Kirsten Dunst romance caper, <strong>Roofman<\/strong>, collected <strong>$1M<\/strong> from 2,800 locations yesterday. Showtimes started at 7PM. Audiences gave the pic 4 out of 5 stars on PostTrak. No audience score yet, but reviews are at 82% on Rotten Tomatoes. The $19M production goes wide today at 3,362 sites. Tatum\u2019s Dog did $1.26M in Valentine\u2019s Day sneaks and previews before earning a $5M Friday, $14.8M 3-day driven by his female auds. However that movie was PG-13, and Roofman is R. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tMore\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Disney is reporting that Tron: Ares previews are coming in at $4.8M.
