    5TH UPDATE, Saturday PM: Tropical Storm Bonnie, the first of the year to threaten the U.S., will hit South Carolina by Sunday night, so distrib chiefs can’t use the weather as an excuse yet for what has been a lackluster Memorial Day weekend at the B.O.. The new titles — 20th Century Fox’s X-Men: Apocalypse and Disney’s Alice Through the Looking Glass — were both down today from their Friday B.O., respectively -24% and -11%, while all the holdovers were up on Saturday. As such, 3-day and 4-day projections on both titles have fallen.  The fourth Bryan Singer X-Men movie after making an estimated $19.85M tonight is set to bring in $64M over FSS and a little more than $77M for its four-day, below the $80M that the Fox lot was forecasting. Oy vey. Meanwhile, Disney’s mishap Alice 2 is seeing $26.9M-$27.4M over FSS and $34M-$34.5M for FSSM.

    Weekend Actuals (Page 67): Captain Pirate: Piracy War 72.6M | Jungle Book 17.1M | Money Monster 14.8M | The Darkness 5M | Mother's Day 3.3M

    Good recovery for Cap.  I was a little worried after that Friday number but all in all its and expected MCU sequel type number.  It's still lower than I had wanted but I'm far from disappointed.  Looks like MCU event movies are settling into a good range.

     

    The movie that just keeps on surprising is Zootopia.  -12.4% wow.  Best run of the year so far IMO.

    I just made a quick spreadsheet comparing OW multiplier of CW, AoU, and IM3 after same days.  Daily numbers seem to be in line with those comps and when looking at OW multiplier.

      OW Multiplier      
    Day CW AoU CW/AoU IM3 CW/IM3
    4 1.074199 1.0691613 100.5% 1.06470261 100.9%
    5 1.151017 1.137822 101.2% 1.12951598 101.9%
    6 1.201125 1.1870183 101.2% 1.1761002 102.1%
    7 1.246679 1.2320495 101.2% 1.21979724 102.2%

     

    CW is slightly stronger, so far.  Yeah it's early and this weekend could change the numbers drastically but so far so good.

    Summer 2016 Bombs

    in Box Office Discussion

    My thinking is:

    Duds-Disappointing movies that are around break even point.  Example Terminator:Genysis, TASM2 

     

    Bombs- Big budget movies that show up in company quarterly results as major write offs. Tomorrowland, The Lone Ranger, Jupiter Ascending.

     

    I haven't been following Ben-Hur but Tarzan looks to be a prime candidate.

    Disney cannibalizing itself now.

     

    Not really.  CW is not really a Mother's Day movie.  So a family oriented Disney alternative was JB.   If it wasn't for JB maybe some families would've gone to Zootopia.  If not these two they may have gone see another movie.  But not likely CW.   

     

    Either way I think Disney captured more money.

    I want to congratulate to CW for a humongous weekend. Indeed a spectacular number. A few things we all were able to get from this movie.

     

    No matter how big, no matter the time, no matter how many good reviews, no matter the lack of competition, for a movie to gross $200+ million at this age is EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY difficult.

     

    We have been lucky to witness three movies to hit this mark in the last four years (two of them last year). But we better be careful of calling a movie a guarantee 200+ million nowadays.

     

     

     

    And those three had something that would push them over that barrier.  Avengers - first culmination of a CBM shared universe. JW-a huge nostalgia trip for many. SW7- Star Wars nuff said.  

     

    However, I think CW may have been a lot closer if not over 200,  if not for Deadpool and BvS opening .  2 mega CBM events would burn off GA demand IMO.
