Wolf Warrior 2 made money in China because it is a jingoistic China fuck yeah nationalist movie. It will bomb in South Korea and Japan.

Yes, the first Justice League trailer with Icky Thump was better than any BvS trailer.

turtles and gotg continue to hold well, really putting a great bookend on the summer

this one?

thats pretty good for lbc right?

Rambo only needs to pay for stallone, exp movies have casts bigger than some movies of that size have for cast and crew combined

my guess turtles 26.5 gotg 24.75

yeah seems like its a couple of years late, Warcraft movie is 5 years late too but at least it has people still play it even if its half of its peak

not all because of ledger Begins opened on a Wednesday, its 48mil 'opening weekend' isn't a good comparison for tdk. A good amount of the increase can be attributed to Begins being a good film, and it also had a soft opening based on rebooting after franchise ruining batman and robin. TDK was always going to have a bigger than average OW jump based on these factors. Ledgers death definitely grabbed alot of attention but to attribute all of the increase just to that is foolish

fifty shades will probably be R so i don't think its likely to be close to that high I mean how could you even make a bdsm movie with a rating lower than R?

yeah its doing pretty great, Its budget is about 1.5x higher than all the other turtles movies combined though

1. Avengers 2 - 250m 2. Mocking Jay Part II -165m 3. Star Wars 7 - 145m 4. Fast 7 - 115m 5. Bond 24 - 110m 6. Ant-Man - 95m 7. Minions - 88m 8. Cinderella - 80m 9.Mission Impossible 5- 79m 10. Mad Max - 72m

It'll get that Avengers bumb, if gotg can do 94 in august I don't see any reason ant man cant do 90+ in july 2015

Dino Riders!

No bigger in the US, Spiderman has been doing 400mill+ international numbers since the early 2000's Superman especially is way less popular outside the US than Batman and Spidey and batman needed to rebuild after killing the franchise in the 90's. Like I said, Huge domestic, and I'm not saying it will do poor numbers internationally but it's not doing 7-800mill +++ like your talking about

Nah international numbers won't be huge for BvS, It will do huge in Dom gross but it wont be getting that double or triple international numbers it would need for 1.5b+ The actual Justice League a couple of years later after they build up the world is going to be massive though

Yeah I wasn't sold by the trailers but I'm seeing fairly positive stuff being said about the movie (outside of reviews which have been brutal), it's a bit mixed reception as far as general story/quality but people seem to really dig the actual turtles which in a turtles movie is your number one job I think if the sat-sun holds up 175+ is a real shot.

the 1 to 5 years ago list was from the last page We're the Millers R comedy 84% Bourne Legacy pg 13 action 74% Expendables 2 R action 88% Final Destination R ..thriller?weird accident genre? 90% Expendables 1 R action 80% Inglorious Basterds R Tarantino 85% Tropic Thunder R comedy 79% + ROTPOTA 87%

Rush hour 3 pg 13 action comedy 2007 80% World Trade Center pg 13 2006 Drama 90% 40 year old virgin R comedy 2005 106% Four Brothers R action 2005 79% Red Eye pg 13 thriller 2005 147% Collateral R 2004 thriller/crime 79% Without a Paddle 2004 pg 13 comedy 117% SWAT 2003 pg13 action 113% Freaky Friday 2003 PG comedy 80% Freddy vs Jason 2003 R horror 90% some of the other more recent ones I missed The Butler 2013 pg13 Drama 98% Planes 2013 G Kids 81% Hope Springs pg 13 drama 2012 77% only stuff in the top 5 each year an nothing that opened aug and had a second week in sep which seemed to always have a bigger jump. The films in this list + the other one I posted earlier cover a pretty wide range of genres and ratings. R action and comedy definately the most represented but it seems that rotpota isnt a huge outlier. There appears to be at least one movie in the top 5 every year pulling good second weeks regardless of genre/demographic. That also does mean that there are more August openers that aren't pulling those numbers than are but i don't see why rotpota is held on such a pedestal as far as august 2nd weeks go

see post above Bourne Legacy pg 13 action 74% Expendables 2 R action 88% Final Destination R ..thriller?weird accident genre? 90% Expendables 1 R action 80% Inglorious Basterds R Tarantino 85% Tropic Thunder R comedy 79% thats 5 years

Bourne Legacy 2012 74%

We're the Millers last year 85% Friday jump on second weekend.

yeah they all play by the same bent rules. don't wanna sound like too much of an old man "back in my day" type post but imo midnights should be midnights and be a part of the weekend. If a studio wants to open on a thursday just open on a thursday. These previews are giving like 30hr opening days, wont be long before they are starting there thursday night previews at 5pm

right keep forgetting cap was early also didnt mention T4mers undercooking

I don't think you can say cap or xmen underperformed, right in line with a decent run for both domestically imo.Maleficent i think as well isnt an underperformer. Spiderman is underperforming for what a spiderman film should do but as a shitty fllow up to a shitty reeboot I'm not sure you can expect much more of it.
