I'm not that happy about Zootopia's claiming of 2nd place DOM for the moment.
It's more of a disappointment for BvS.
Hey, at least Zoo's behind a good movie.

The only thing I remember about the Oscars, outside of the black elephant in the room, was Leo winning, Sly losing, Sam being lame, Weeknd and Gaga killing it, and Chris doing his typical standup. It was still way more interesting than last year though. I literally forgot everything that happened that year, even who was the host.

Allow me to explain how I feel about whether Civil War is a Cap movie or Avengers movie:
Civil War has Captain America before it...so it's a Cap movie.

Sure, why the fuck not? He's obviously the most popular of the Marvel characters.
And damn, I didn't know Iron Man was going to be in the new Spider-Man movie. That actually kind of disappoints me.
You're disappointed with Iron Man and Spider-Man in the same movie? How does that not excite the inner child in you?

People dislike Shrek 2? How is that even--?

Around $150-200M. So yeah, I don't think Prince of Persia WW's gonna cut it.

So you people think that Angry Bird or Neighbors are opening under 50m? Cute. And TMNT and Alice under 70m each? LOOOOOL.
Yes. Yes I am.

And you think these numbers arre Insignificant?
Yes and no. For Nice Guys and Me Before You, they both have audiences that aren't targeting Civil War's audience. Neighbors and Angry Birds might have some crossover, but the former's targeting more to comedy fans, and the latter's targeting more to families with smaller children. The only one that I listed here that is a threat is TMNT, but it premieres in Civil War's fifth week, so I don't see it doing any major damage to the legs. Minor? Sure.

Actually, Gatsby and Into Darkness opened on different weekends and their OWs combined are around 120m. The Nice Guys, Neighbors 2 and Angry Birds will make more than than in only one weekend. And in the next one, Alice and X-Men will make more than Fast+Hangover and the week after that, Turtles 2 + Me Before You will combine another 100m. CW has more competition than IM3 had. The difference is CW's second weekend doesn't have a Gatsby. But starting from the third weekend it is a massacre.
Nice Guys is only getting ~20M, and I'm being generous, and Neighbors and Angry Birds are probably somewhere in the mid-to-high-30s, so that's about 90M+. TMNT's only gonna do at best $60M, and Me Before You's doing at best $20M.

Crowds are really only good for specific events. With TFA and Deadpool, it was pretty tight having the whole room crowded. Everyone was excited, and everyone reacted positively to pretty much everything. But then there are cases with when I saw Into the Woods and The Witch. People either got bored and talked about how "stupid" those movies are, or just decided to have their own conversations while the movie was playing, and these crowds were pretty decently-sized, which made it a nightmare to get through. And don't get me started on the crowds for kids movies.

Disney has staked out a number of primetime release dates for its upcoming live-action fairy tales, even if the studio has yet to say which movie will open when. The crop of films includes The Jungle Book 2.
The bold move comes in the wake of the success of Jon Favreau's The Jungle Book, which has earned a dazzling $533 million at the global box office in less than two weeks in release in North America and much of the world, cementing Disney's prowess in spinning classic animated titles into live-action tentpoles.
The dates claimed by Disney are July 28, 2017 (instead of Dec. 22, 2017), April 6, 2018, Aug. 3, 2018, Dec. 25, 2018 and Dec. 20, 2019. That's in addition to two dates the studio has already claimed for untitled live-action fairy tales; Nov. 2, 2018 and Nov. 8, 2019 — meaning there will be four such films in 2018 alone.
Studio insiders say one of the release dates announced Monday will almost surely go to The Jungle Book 2, which is already in the works, even as Warner Bros. preps its own Jungle Book for Oct. 19, 2018. Disney won't comment, but it's possible Favreau's sequel could be ready in time for the August or November 2018 slot, putting it in the direct path of the rival Jungle Book, directed by Andy Serkis.
Other Disney titles that will fill the slots include Cruella, starring Emma Stone; A Wrinkle in Time, directed by Ava DuVernay; Jungle Cruise, starring Dwayne Johnson; director Tim Burton's Dumbo; a Mary Poppins sequel from director Rob Marshall that's set to star Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda; Maleficent 2 with Angelina Jolie; and a Tinker Bell film starring Reese Witherspoon. Director Lasse Hallstrom's The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is another priority.
Jungle Book, Jungle Cruise and Mary Poppins aren't fairy tales, but fall in the same realm as the other films in terms of Disney's ambitious blueprint of reimagining classic stories.

Nothing will beat that post several weeks ago that said "look at the legs of 10 Cloverfield Lane *picture of MEW showing off her legs* look at the legs of Deadpool *picture of Morena Baccarin showing off her legs* and look at the legs of Batman v Superman *picture of a broken Superman toy with its legs chopped off*"
There was also "Look at the legs of Revenant *picture of a bear on its hind legs*"

The only September/October releases I see over 100M are Magnificent Seven, Sully, and Deepwater Horizon (Story of Your Life if it's released then)
Why Story of Your Life? Obviously there's no footage yet, but judging by the synopsis, I don't really see anything that screams $100M, unless it's an Oscar frontrunner.

Also....for TJB (2016). with the $147M DOM it has now.......it surpassed the animated 1967's TJB's $141M DOM in 8 days!, which that film did in it's entire lifetime-gross.
A movie in 2016 made more money than a film in 1967? What a shocker!

If We Can't Accept Limitations, We're No Better Than The Derby | Week 20
in Box Office Derby

So I overestimated Civil War and Mother's Day, and I severely underestimated Money Monster, Jungle Book, Huntsman, and especially The Darkness.
