Don't know why I have to explain this, but saying someone should be hanged for casting an actress in a children's movie is a bit of an exaggeration.

dude it's a fucking Disney movie

Aren't all the dinosaurs ladies?

Ant-Man 665 3415 19.47% Comps: 72% of Thor: Ragnarok ($89.4M) 47% of Justice League ($44.4M) 186% of Coco ($94.6M) 16% of Infinity War ($41.9M) 39% of Deadpool 2 ($49.5M) 62% of Solo ($52M) 26% of Incredibles 2 ($47.5M) 49% of Jurassic World ($72.2M) Leaning towards Thor: Ragnarok as the best comparison here, both being Marvel movies, and partially because Ant-Man seems like it will get a lot of walk-ups thanks to family audiences which can help drive it towards that number. But as always, I feel as if a number between Jurassic World and Thor seems like the safest bet.

Suddenly I am very invested in a Fast and Furious production.

That's an...interesting sentence when out of context.

Wild prediction, and I could be wrong on this: I think the $800K might be for Deadpool. For a comparison Avengers jumped 34% from the 4th to the 3rd back in 2012.

For Comparison: Election Year: $3.64M Anarchy: $2.6M The Purge: $3.4M Those were all Thursday, so it's not a totally fair comparison.

I know that we're all hyping up Set It Up, but if y'all want another good Netflix movie original, there's a Scottish movie called Calibre that is hella good. Not gonna say much, since it's best knowing as little as possible about it, but it's really great stuff.

Just keep Brad Dourif and I’ll be okay

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.
