Thursday Night Previews: Terminator Takes in $2.35 million

November 1, 2019

Terminator: Dark Fate

Terminator: Dark Fate managed $2.35 million from its previews on Thursday. Normally, this wouldn’t be enough to kick-start a strong weekend, but yesterday was Halloween, which is far from a normal day at the box office. Furthermore, its reviews are better than most of the rest of the Terminator franchise, and good enough to have decent legs. It is still too early to tell where it will finish its opening weekend. Halloween is just too big a wildcard to make an accurate guess at this point. We will know more this time tomorrow when the Friday estimates come out.

Harriet managed $300,000, which is merely okay. It does have good reviews and a mature target audience, so it should have longer legs. That said, it needed to earn around $400,000 to match our $9 million prediction. Maybe it will bounce back today.

Arctic Dogs and Motherless Brooklyn didn’t have preview shows.
