LOOKING AHEAD, EXHIBITORS CAN EXPECT SIZZLING JULY FOURTH WEEKEND TO FOLLOW POWERFUL MEMORIAL DAY & BLAZING HOT JUNE TICKET SALES. PERFECT TIMING THAT 7/4 FALLS ON MONDAY THIS YEAR. THAT MEANS FOUR DAY WEEKEND WITH MANY PEOPLE OFF FROM WORK. GOOD NEWS IS HOLIDAY TENTPOLE LAUNCH, UNIVERSAL/ILLUMINATION ENTERTAINMENTS' PG ANIMATED COMEDY ADVENTURE "MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU," IS PERFECT FAMILY FARE. SERIES' ORIGINAL EPISODE, "MINIONS," WHICH REPORTEDLY COST $74M TO MAKE, OPENED 7/10/15 TO $115.7M. WOUND UP DOING $336M/DOM + $823.4M/INT = $1.2B/WW....

MEMORIAL DAY'S LOOKING BETTER WITH MID-WEEK PROJECTIONS BY EXHIBITORS & HOLLYWOOD HANDICAPPERS UP FROM CAUTIOUS ORIGINAL $75-100M FOUR DAY RANGE FOR PARAMOUNT/SKYDANCE MEDIA'S "TOP GUN: MAVERICK." EXHIBS NOW THINK $81-92M FOR THREE DAYS WITH SOME MOVING UP TO $125M FOR FOUR DAYS. MEDIA ESTIMATES VARY, BUT GENERALLY PUT FOUR DAY HOLIDAY FRAME AT $92-100M+ ADDING THAT IT COULD COME IN ABOVE $100M.

ANYTHING OVER $64.9M THAT TOM CRUISE'S "WAR OF THE WORLDS" OPENED TO 6/29/05 WILL BE NEW CAREER BEST FOR HIM. WHATEVER HAPPENS THIS WEEKEND, HEADLINE WILL BE: "MAVERICK" IS BIGGEST OPENING EVER FOR CRUISE. IN AGE WHERE MARVEL MOVIES ROUTINELY KICK OFF TO $150-$200M, WORTH NOTING CRUISE IS SUPERSTAR NOT SUPERHERO. SO WE SHOULDN'T BE COMPARING "MAVERICK" TO DOCTOR STRANGE OR SPIDER-MAN. WILL DEFINITELY HELP "MAVERICK" ROTTEN TOMATOES SCORES ARE THROUGH THE ROOF -- 97% CRITICS & 99% AUDIENCE, WHICH MEANS GREAT WORD OF MOUTH!...

WB/ROADSHOW ENTERTAINMENT'S OSCAR CONTENDER "ELVIS" PREMIERED MID-WEEK AT 75TH ANNUAL CANNES FILM FESTIVAL, RECEIVING 10 MINUTE STANDING OVATION. THAT'S SAID TO BE LONGEST THUS FAR FOR ANY PICTURE THIS YEAR. BAZ LUHRMANN'S MUSICAL BIO-DRAMA STARS AUSTIN BUTLER AS PRESLEY & TOM HANKS AS COLONEL TOM PARKER, WHO DISCOVERED ELVIS & MANAGED HIS CAREER FOR 20 YEARS. CANNES MEDIA SPOTLIGHT WILL HELP DRIVE "ELVIS" OPENING 6/22 INTERNATIONALLY & 6/24 DOMESTICALLY. BEST DEFINITE INTEREST DEMO IS +25M, BUT AT THIS EARLY POINT THEY'RE STILL ONE POINT UNDER NORM.
