Beginning with Pan, the $150 million production was originally set to be released this summer, but was moved to October so reshoots could take place. Tracking reports had the film opening in the low $20 million range and I predicted a $18.4 million opening, but even that proved too high. Playing in 3,515 theaters, the Hugh Jackman-led fantasy feature could only muster an estimated $15.5 million.

The film did score a "B+" CinemaScore, which could typically mean solid holdover numbers, but when a film doesn't open very big there's only so far for it to drop anyway. In the end, Pan is looking at a overall domestic haul in the $32-35 million range. So you can go ahead and this one to the list of films including Jupiter Ascending, Tomorrowland and Fantastic Four as big budget 2015 releases that failed to reach much of a domestic audience.

On a more positive note, Universal's 2015 continues to shine as they ushered Steve Jobs into four theaters in New York and Los Angeles this weekend and the results were impressive. The film brought in an estimated $521,000 for a per theater average of $130,236, the best for any film released in 2015 and third overall for the year behind American Sniper's impressive early year numbers. Jobs expands further next weekend and nationwide on October 23. Its international release kicks off November 12 in thirteen territories including Germany and the U.K. and Ireland.

Good. That's what they get for whitewashing.
