  1. Amazing for Spidey.I don't get all the doomsday talk.The inclusion of IM was always gonna frontload it a bit but ko matter how you cut it...it's amazing.350M total is where i think it lands.Hell i would not be surprised if my initial prediction of 370M comes to pass. Also,for me, WW is somehow still the big story of the weekend.How it managed to once again overperform and post this massive number in her 6th (!!!!!) weekend against a huge opened,one that was considered her most direct competition ,is over me(well deserved though).400M,and Tele's club,are vurtually locked yet.
  2. I jusrmt realised that,with this weekend being WW biggest test and seeing how it performs,WW will not have a wknd drop over 50% (maybe even 45%)
  3. Whoever thought this was not getting above 100M ow was a nutjob. Still,i think that my prediction of a 120M wknd will not come to pass with 13M previews as it will have to show the same legs as WW,which i think is unlukely since... 1.Marvel films tend to be frontloaded(so do DC films but WW was an entirely different beast) 2.Unlike WW,Scools are out which would boost the rush factor and eventually lead to bigger previews. Still 370M is where i see thia landing whwn the dust settles.
  4. If WW can do this much against Spidey then not only GoTG2 is going down but also Tele's club will be success.
  5. To be fair,WW has played more like a family/animated film (and in many cases better than them) than a Superhero film.
  6. The only reasons i think HCM might not get a big multy are : 1.I THINK MCU movies ,and SH films in general, are generally pre-sales heavy and they have a rush factor. 2.Somebody mentioned that this is a critically acclaimed MCU film in the summer.The only direct comparison i can find is Guardians 1.But the latter had less competition,so it benefitted from a barren marketplace,and it was bringing something new to the table.HMC is the 2nd reboot of the character in a small amount of time. 3.Iron Man will froantload it a bit. 4.I don't think it will appeal to older audiences and even if it will Dunkirk and Apes should get this target group away from Spidey,along with screens...IMAX and regular,fairly soon.Also,older demos tend to turn up later.One of the driving factors with WW's success was that it was playing like a 4-quantrad movie. 5.Guardians and WW may have saturated some of the demand for SH films.Though we have gone a month now without a good tentpole being released. Anyway it's still a Spidey movie ,it's still a MCU movie and it will have great WOM.120/370M.
  7. Aquaman will probably be the first DCEU release that will go below 100M OW but its current release date is great ,which will help its legs.JL reception will help boost its numbers or counter that.From then on,it's up to the film itself how well it can do.
  8. I hope you are right.WW really deserves it.That being said i was not referring to guardians as WW's competition for the summer crown.At this point WW>GoTG is the most likely scenario (crazy right?).I'm expecting a Spidey breakout.
  9. As a straight, fully-confident man,i hope i never get to stand next to Cavill . This man is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.
  10. By Thursday,WW will be running ahead of Guardians 2 at the same point.The summer crown is up for grabs but HOLY SHIT WW might actually take it.
  11. Don't kid yourself...Spidey is opening to at least 120M.It will benefit from being the first Spider-Man movie in the Marvel Universe ,from having Iron-Man and also being critically acclaimed.The novelty of him being in the MCU and the great reviews will counter whatever bad willleft from the previous films.130/370M.
  12. If WW has a decent drop next weekend then 400M should be more likely than not!Dunkirk and Apes play for a different audience.
  13. Can anyone point where we hot the 16.1M figure for WW.DHD and these twitter accounts all have it at 15+.
  14. At the same point of release(taking into account DHD's numbers for the weekend),the difference between WW and Guarsians is at ~10M.WW is already ahead when it comes to daily cumes but we should see how Spidey will affect her in order to see if it will be ahead of Guardians in DOM total at the same point.Incredible to say the least. But DM3 underperforming should counter some of that Spidey effect.Also i don't think there is a big audience overlap between WW/Apes and WW/Dunkirk so that may help to push her just over Guardians 2.I still think that Guardians wll finish slighly above WW though.
  15. It's baffling to me that Eclipse held the theater count record for so many years only for DM3 to come and break it.I mean in this oast few years we had monster hits,with hype much bigger than these two (SW,Avengers,BaTB come to mind) and yet these are the top 2?I don't know how theaters decide but i would imagine the something like SW8 would have a wider release. Anyway,WW run is just incredible.Crazy to think that a month ago i would laugh at you if you told me that it would even had 330M at this point,let alone challenge Guardians for the top spot.I don't think it will top Guardians but it's insane that we are even discussing the possibility.
  16. Worst of 2015-17 F4ntastic Fifty Shades of Grey(its sequel could also make the list but i warned my gf) Neighbours 2 Indepedence Day 2 Assassin's Creed Passengers Inferno Ice Age 4578 Grimsby Gods of Egypt Best of 2015-17 Mad Max Fury Road Wonder Woman Hacksaw Ridge Arrival The Man from UNCLE Hell or High Water Batman v Superman Kubo and the 2 strings Loving Citizen 4
  17. THG-good CF-awesome MJ1-ok i guess MJ2- Mediocre I have read the books.What started really strong ended in the most anticlimatic and dissapointing way possible.I got the sense that the writer was just trying to tie up loose ends so she could move on to something new.The resolution of the revolution and final battle was the most underwhelming puece of writing (and eventually filmmaking) in recent memory.
  18. Gitesh says that Wonder Woman is heading for 800M+ WW.Can this be?I think his prediction is too high.I say about 750M.Then again it has a lot of life still left both internationally(with Japan still to open) and -especially- Domestically.
  19. No matter what...the fact that Wonder Woman will finish close or maybe even top Guardians 2 is mindblowing.Tell me...who thought that this would even be discussed a month ago.
  20. Cavill is a terrific Superman.I think his portrayal is one of the main reasons my opinion on the character changed and he is now one of my faves.
  21. Whaaaaaaaat?3x BvS's 4th wknd puts WW at 27+M for the weekend.But i don't think weekday numbers indicate this.Maybe 20-25(which is still great).I hope he is right.
  22. The thing with WOTPOTA and Kingsman is that they are coming off well received predecessors,the audiences are not tired of them and ,at least for the former,it seems like they will have good wom (first reactions to WOTPOTA is very good) so they still have a fighting chance.The audiences just need good movies basically... Just too elaborate by giving an example.Had Wonder Woman been bad i think JL would be royally screwd.Hell i think a decent drop from BvS would have been inevitable.But now with the way WW succeeded with the audience and Snyder's exit?basically cutting the connections with the reasons pointing as the problems with the DCEU,WB secured a critic-proof OW.From then on its on the actual movie to determine if it will be a huge success or just a success.
