Sony’s wide break of SNL origins movie Saturday Night made $370K from previews that began at 2 p.m. Thursday. That money will be rolled into today’s take. The Jason Reitman-directed feature is expected to do $3M-$5M this weekend in its national wide break. The only good news here is that audiences like it at 4½ stars and 84% positive on PostTrak, with RT critics score of 80% certified fresh and 92% audience. The movie already has banked north of $731K in its two-week platform release. Last year, Sony’s Dumb Money — which was vying for awards-season glory — did $3.3M at 2,837 theaters in its wide break; the pic’s muted grosses were a result of the actors strike, with talent unable to promote. Saturday Night cost $30M before P&A.
