That Disney Double Feature BumpTM It's probably going to fall off a cliff next weekend, though. Going sub-3m wouldn't surprise me.

Huh. When did Dan Garris start up Box Office Report again? I remember on the original forums for it I made a prediction in 2005 or so that the first Transformers would do 250m or more. I got ridiculed for it.

Frozen's run was the most fun to follow, but Wondy is turning into a close second.

ROTF is a bad film, but it's not even close to the worst I've ever seen. Izo probably takes the crown for a film I've seen theatrically.

Huh. I was actually in Carbondale for a couple days last year visiting a friend.

Yeah, there were a scents, mostly in the battlefield scenes, but it didn't really seem like a strong addition. If I'm ranking the quality of the effects from best to worst: 1. Rumble Seats 2. Mobility 3. Scents 4. Water 5. Puffs of air 6. Wind 7. Lightning And, yeah, I was kinda surprised it wasn't on one of the biggest screens.

The 4DX showing I saw was nearly full. I think there were only a few seats left in the front row. As far as the 4DX experience itself it's... interesting, I suppose. Some parts of it, like the mobility and haptic seats, were good. The air effects were mostly distracting, though, especially for any scene that had wind while also being fairly quiet. In such a case, the fans starting up sounded like an X-Box 360. The water was... weird. There's literally only one moment when it's used in the film, for a fraction of a second, so getting a few drips on the head is hella distracting. I suppose as an experience it could be better, with more development, but it's pretty cheesy overall. Really high tech cheesy, but not really something I'd go out of my way for.

I see that Hot Take Han is all It also has the problem that Hugo Weaving comes across as completely uninterested in the film.

So that means the Saturday numbers are really good.

I'm going to hazard a guess that a big reason I'm doing so poorly this year is my employment situation. Last year at this time I was still unemployed, and would remain so for another month. This year I've basically spent the time since the game started working the busiest I've been on the job. I forgot week 3 entirely, and I swear to god both this week and last week I was about to go to bed when I remembered "Oh, yeah... summer game" and put my answers together in about ten minutes. I'm kinda envious of @Matrix4You's efforts up there. They're really fun to scan through, and while I've never expended anything even remotely close to that sort of effort, what I have been doing is a real far cry from anything like that.

That's not a bold statement. Now, WW 4th weekend over TF5 OW? That's a statement.

Apparently I'm just bad at this game.

I'm not so sure it's going to get much of a Father's Day hold. HTTYD2 fell 21% on Father's Day. Dory fell 24%. I suppose you could argue that both those, and IO, aren't going to have quite the Dad appeal, but it seems animated films might just not have Dad appeal in general. A 15-20% drop would be more likely, I'd think.

What was IO's Saturday drop/rise if you take out the previews? That might give us a better idea about what Cars 3's Saturday is going to be like, because I'm pretty sure it got a relatively outsized portion of its gross on Thursday.

10.7 is really good. It should be pretty easily sniffing at 40m, and I could see ways it could hit 42 or 43m. With a Friday below 19, could Cars 3 end up under 50m?

So, you're saying that they could make some... auto erotica.

That's amazing!

Man, I need someone to spoil this entire thing in detail for me. It sounds terrible, so I don't want to watch it, but I'm madly curious about how bad the plot is. Wikipedia's still only got a synopsis, unfortunately.

Assuming that it's getting about 86m for week 2... If GotG2 makes 400m, Wonder Woman will need 34% weekly drops to get there. That's not super likely, but not impossible, either.

I could see a situation where Sony decides to sell off its movie production studio. While getting picked up by one of the other Big Six is possible, I'd actually lean towards it getting scooped up by Amazon in such a case. (Less likely, but I suppose theoretically possible, is getting picked up by Netflix.) Even without, say, Bond, the back catalogue and distribution contacts would benefit Amazon Studios' efforts. I think it's less likely that Viacom would sell off Paramount, but I suppose it's possible.

It would be highly unlikely to only gross 330m. Suicide Squad grossed another 87m after the equivalent Wednesday. Wonder Woman has shown stronger word of mouth and it going into a period of better weekday holds, while Suicide Squad was losing summer strength over time. Even from a rough generalization of holding about 30% better than Suicide Squad will put Wonder Woman at 340m, and it's probably going to go significantly higher.

Your mom has lousy legs in general.
