Tuesday Numbers : GOTG2 12.10M | FF8: 0.85M | HTBLL:0.58M

Open Road is apparently re-releasing MOTHERS DAY this weekend with a BOGO offer for the 14th at Regal locations {nm}

 

[Biggestgeekever]

It's a good number for Guardians 2; it likely won't drop much more today than the 35% Civil War did last year, so the floor for the weekend is probably $63M. If the film is indeed catering to families more than other Marvel films, there could be a sizable upswing from that number.

I just wanna know if BATB can make 500M

If it has another 20-25% drop this week (likely, since it could increase on Mother's Day Sunday), Beast will get to $500M easily.

Actually, according to the audiences percentages it is appealing mostly to adults

I found the Blu-ray release date Jun 6, 2017 on bestbuy.ca... 

 

So the same day as Digital HD release apparently, which is unusual. Strange that other sites still say the release date is unannounced. In any case, this home release is much shorter than for their past live-action remakes. 

[raegr]

I say 59% for this weekend...

 

Wouldn't be surprised if it held better.

[WrathOfHan]

Lmao, Weinstein is dumping 3 Generations on Blu-Ray on June 13 after how much it flopped this weekend

No we are not gonna take Exchange rates into consideration.

 

What why ? Box office following is pretty much only about taking stuff into consideration and the challenge of it for the pure fun of doing so.

 

It is pretty similar to people trying to adjust athlete performance among era for people into sport statistics  (at least if you are not into a franchise wars mindset and don't care much about what those movie actually do).

 

If you do not take exchange ratio into consideration you could make the mistake to think that Guardian 2 was not more popular at the box office than the first one in the UK/Aus and some other market and would lead to not predict the next one result correctly if the exchange rate change between time.

 

What is the flaw about exchange rate argument ?, unlike inflation it is a pretty much objective and clear metric, that do not require much more than a good exchange rate table to adjust every movie performance by it without any issue.

So whatever suits brainiac best, is what he will consider.

 

Gotcha.

That's true as well. The exchange rate argument does cut both ways. When a movie people want to pile on is affected, the exchange rate is never brought up, but for other movies everyone goes full defensive.

 

I thought you were about to say it also can help to have lower production cost/world release cost.

I hope it does, not only for Marvel but for the genre in general. If people love this, they will get their wallets ready for WW

GV2 seems to be playing like a family movie.

FF8 could make much more than 1.2 billion if with the same exchange rate in 2015. Now it's not likely to beat BATB WW.

We all know that as I said before we don't talk about exchange rates for other films so we shouldn't for GOTGv2
