The song choice is not that bad lol. And I forgot Johnny is in this. Now I am excited for it!

Thanks!

Could you please provide me with a link for the daily box office updates in SK? I had it at some point, then I lost it. I want to track POTC5.

I am starting to doubt 400m OS for this, but I hope it gets there. China doesn't seem to be breaking out and from what I see the case is the same for Easter Europe (here for example the presales are quite mediocre... even though a lot of that has to do with opening after POTC5 which sucked all the air from the market; it seems to be the same for Russia). I am hoping for strong Western Europe and LA support.

Because, and I am not kidding, that version of Superman is outdated. Just look at all the heroes nowadays. They all have some sort of snark/edginess to them (and yes, the Marvel heros too). Snyder did a good job repackaging Supes, but someone has to write a better script.

Also, as much as I want to be wrong, I doubt WW will be that big OS.

I hope for 70-75m. It really has no competition in June and having seen the movie today, I think the WoM will be very good.

From Corpse on POTC5 in Japan: POTC4 made 109m there.

I see why WB wants to lowball, but the trackers are drunk.

Considering 2011 had hugely better ER and the 3D was at it's peak, the fall is really not that bad. And while Disney may have bigger properties, this is still a huge (especially OS) player. I doubt Disney will throw that away just because they have SW or TA. Plus, if they market the return of well it should maintain interest.

I really think it will happen. As I said, I expect good legs OS. It is a perfect summer movie. 800M-ish WW will be enough to push Disney to make another one, especially seeing how it is doing very well in China. They will probably add some Chinese actors. And the merch is huge for this.

Just got home from Pirates 5 and no surprise: I FUCKIN LOVED IT! The humor really worked. It is the funniest movie of the series. And while it is not on the level of the first three movies, it is definitely better than the fourth one. Also, surprisingly, the new co-leads really worked! I really cared for them, which is a change from how I felt about the guy and the girl in the fourth. And that after credits scene!! Can't wait for the next one! I am just sorry for WW this weekend here. POTC5 had one of the best OWs ever and the WOM is amazing (8.5/10 on the biggest movie site here). I also think the legs OS will be very good. As for trailers, I got WW, Thor 3, Spidey, TLJ. Thor got a great reaction.

LMAO at the LOTR-running time. Bring it one Bay! This just made my day. Can't wait for it!

I think it will go a little higher, closer to 500m, especially if the movie is good. But overall yeah, SW will be the only big franchise where most of the money comes from the US. It really is a testament of how hugely popular this is DOM. I'm thinking TLJ will also make less many OS than DOM.

Fixed.

The fact that this is no. 1 and 5 on Pulse for hours now on a Discount Tuesday is a great sign. MOS numbers are the floor at this point imo.

145-150m for WW.

This looks amazing

I don't think likable characters should be a judging criteria. They were well made characters. I like clay pretty much, but overall my favorite arc was Justin's. He had it much worse than Hannah and the end of the season was horrible for him. As for the glorification of suicide and rape, I feel most people refuse to talk about those. The world nowadays is such a stupidly sensitive place.

Why is it bad? Am I the only one who absolutely loved it? (even if Hannah annoyed me greatly)

This is dominating social media, especially Twitter. A lot of older people will watch it because of it being the first time an iconic character is on screen, a lot of women will watch it, duh, and apparently a lo of young people as well. I am feeling more and more like this will be the breakout hit of the summer. Wouldn't it be hilarious if this managed to open bigger than BvS?

These women-only screening are helping WB's marketing soooo much. Most folks don't give a fuck about the backlash anyway, and it is free promo that air even here lol. I can't imagine how it is like in the US.

I think the market is big enough to fit all three of them. And we shall see about The Incredibles. Even with 450m DOM I still don't see 1b.

I hope we get at least one more Alien movie. And Everything, Everything it is doing pretty well considering it's 10m budget.

Here's my 2 cents on this: DOM 1. Han Solo - 480m 2. Jurassic World - 465m 3. Infinity War - 460m 4. Incredibles 2 - 380m 5. Deadpool 2 - 360m 6. Aquaman - 305m 7. Fantastic Beasts 2 - 300m 8. Mulan - 295m 9. Ready Player One - 275m 10. The Grinch - 270m OS 1. Infinity War - 850m 2. Jurassic World - 805m 3. Fantastic Beasts 2 - 650m 4. Transformers 6 - 610m 5. Mulan - 605m 6. Mission Impossible 6 - 510m 7. Han Solo - 500m 8. Ready Player One - 490m 9. Deadpool 2 - 480m 10. The Incredibles 2 - 450m WW 1. Infinity War - 1.31b 2. Jurassic World - 1.27b 3. Han Solo - 980m 4. Fantastic Beasts - 950m 5. Mulan - 900m 6. Deadpool 2 - 840 7. The Incredibles 2 - 830m 8. Ready Player One - 765m 9. Transformers 6 - 750m 10. Aquaman - 710m Also, out of curiosity, I've seen a lot of very low predictions for FB2, especially DOM. The first one had amazing WOM and legs and with teh addition of Dumbledore I don;t see how this one will fall from that. And what is with the huge WW predictions for The Incredibles 2. I understand that DOM it might be huge, but OS wasn't that impressive back in the day. I just don't see 1b for it.
