Of course, right after Pride month this shit happens.

I am indifferent towards Teller. I am indifferent towards this casting. I am indifferent towards this movie. I am indifferent.

The First Purge (3-Day) 5 1065 0.47% The First Purge (5-Day) 160 2042 7.84% Ant-Man 397 3415 11.63% Ant-Man comps: 43% of Thor: Ragnarok ($53.4M) 28% of Justice League ($26.5M) 111% of Coco ($56.5M) 10% of The Last Jedi ($21.6M) 198% of Jumanji ($71.8M) 8% of Black Panther ($16.2M) 184% of Ready Player One ($76.8M) 10% of Infinity War ($25M) 23% of Deadpool 2 ($29.6M) 37% of Solo ($31M) 15% of Incredibles 2 ($28.4M) 29% of Jurassic World ($43.1M) I mean...yeah, it's still on track for Doctor Strange numbers. Me personally, I hope it goes below $84,420,489 for...petty fanboy reasons (Just kidding Marvelites, I'm rooting for this movie, don't try and argue with me for 3 pages straight) Purge comps: I don't have time to do them before my shift today, but looking at a couple of them, using stuff like Happy Death Day and Insidious and other horror movies, they all point to absurdly high $40-60M 5-Days, while Breaking In and Superfly point to low sub-$20M results.

The First Purge (3-Day) 0 1065 The First Purge (5-Day) 107 2042 5.24% Ant-Man 343 3415 10.04% Ant-Man comps (the following are final totals before previews, not at the same point in time): 37% of Thor: Ragnarok ($46.1M) 24% of Justice League ($22.9M) 96% of Coco ($48.8M) 8% of The Last Jedi ($18.7M) 171% of Jumanji ($62M) 7% of Black Panther ($14M) 159% of Ready Player One ($66.3M) 8% of Infinity War ($21.6M) 20% of Deadpool 2 ($25.5M) 32% of Solo ($26.8M) 13% of Incredibles 2 ($24.5M) 25% of Jurassic World ($37.2M) Obviously, it's hard to compare since Ant-Man still has three full days to go. Thor and Jurassic World feel like the safest comparisons to make, both being walk-up driven franchise features with a family audience, and at least judging by things right now, this should track to the Doctor Strange opening I've been predicting for months and months. Purge only just added in showtimes for Thursday to Sunday about two or three hours ago, so all of its business is from Tuesday and Wednesday. It probably won't get a whole lot of business for the 3-Day weekend since the franchise is very frontloaded, but time will tell.

Nicole Kidman could double nom this year.

Last weekend, Rampage jumped 244% from last weekend, I assume solely because both it and Jurassic World are giant monster movies, so I can see a scenario where there are double feature with both Rampage and Skyscraper next weekend. If that doesn't happen, don't really know if it will cross $100M, since Teen Titans skews a lot younger than Rampage, and once Meg comes out, it'll be 4 months since its initial release, which is probably when Rampage will be out of theaters. Of course, maybe WB will find a way somehow.

Also doesn't help that Jumanji opened on a Wednesday, and HT3 had matinee prices while Jumanji had evening. Still seems really solid though.

Uhh... 1. Paddington 2 2. Black Panther 3. Incredibles 2 4. Isle of Dogs 5. The Death of Stalin 6. Ocean's 8 7. Game Night 8. Love, Simon 9. Solo 10. A Quiet Place 11. Avengers: Infinity War 12.

Peter Rabbit 20. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Feel free to make fun of me for my opinions and/or lack of films seen.

Ralph’s still a John Lasseter credited production tho

I'm...actually kinda okay with this idea?

I hate you so much right now

It's in over 4,100 theaters. The MCU movies above 4,000 have all hit $94M at worst, while all the MCU movies below 4,000 have gone sub-$100M.

Slow down a bit. $100M OW is simply ludicrous. I can see a scenario where it opens to ~$50M, but even $75M seems like a huge stretch

AW HERE IT GOES

That Mamma Mia range doesn't bode well for my club.
