If anything, I expect Genisys to go down once actuals come in and Magic Mike to go up.

Terminator Genisys
July 1st, 8:00pm, 17% full (19 out of 114)
CinemaWorld, Fitchburg, MA
Trailers:
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension
Fantastic Four
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
I spilled my half my popcorn on the floor like a doofus.
I don't have a solid opinion on the movie yet, but what struck me on the drive home is that a lot of the better moments were taken from the previous Terminator films. There are some nice character moments about Arnold as an aging machine and Sarah reflecting on being raised by him.
In all fairness, Terminator: Genisys had a showing an hour before mine. However, it seemed like a lot of the people leaving at the same time I did came from Magic Mike XXL.

Am I the only person who uses Google to make sure I'm spelling a name right? I've probably spelt
SpeilSpielberg's name wrong on many occasions before double checking. -
I'm sure someone in 2012 asked "What if a movie did Avengers sized weekends in the middle of the summer?".
Now we just need to see what happens if a movie opens $150 mil plus in the pre-Christmas slot. What sort of insanity will we witness?

I wonder if one of the reasons Ted did so well initially was the novelty of seeing/hearing the "Family Guy guy" on the big screen. A decent amount of the audience during the showing I went to in 2012 seemed to be there for that reason.
Eh. I really wanted Ted 2 to do well, if only to continue Universal's monster year.

Greatest movie with an opening weekend in a single theater.

Back in my day kids watched Robocop and Predator. They cried but their balls dropped the following day.
"Mommy, can girls really have three boobs?"

People who talk about how much they hate blockbusters being family-friendly are the worst, btw. Like kids shouldn't be able to enjoy big dumb movies with the rest of us
In the 80's, the big dumb blockbusters were both rated R AND marketed towards kids.

T1>T2
Alien>Aliens
Spidey/Spidey 2 and IM/IM2 are about equal in my eyes. I don't see how someone can praise IM to high heavens and slag on IM2.
-
the only way to probably get them is probably the old VHS tapes unfortunately
The 2006 Limited Edition DVDs are still available.
For $30 to $50 dollars each.

If that movie were made today Goldblum would never be sidelined for the older fogey, the quiet stuff in the trees would be cut and there'd be a super graphic Sam Jackson death scene
IN 3-d....
Oh.

We as a culture need to get the fuck over Star Wars at some point, honestly
When bloggers freak out about their "friends" returning upon the release of SW7's trailer, it's not going to happen anytime soon. It would require a massive shift away from stuff seen at Comic-Con and that just isn't happening.

As of now the top four domestic is:
1) Cameron
2) Cameron
3) Marvel
4) DC/Nolan
Jurassic World is about to ruin everything.
Notably, this is the first time a Star Wars film has been out of the top 5 all time domestic. TPM just managed to make it on the 3D rerelease before Avengers opened.

Did the Deadline page always have the motorcycle raptors on it or was that an accidental addition to the late numbers?

Beginning of 1997, all about Batman
End of 1997, had enough Batman

Bombs? They were hardly bombs. Abyss was a financial disappointment but it was far from a bomb.
Point still stands. I was debating Abyss, but the suits seemed anxious enough in my research for it to qualify. Even with stupidly insane bloated budgets, Jim still comes out on top.
I can't wait until the $400 million budgeted Avatar 2: The Quickening makes $3 billion worldwide

Well, the first time is interesting. The second time?
Simple.
Titanic made 1.8 mother fucking billion dollars.
It's not just Avatar and Titanic, though. Jim's made only two bombs in his CAREER (Piranha 2 and The Abyss). In an era of escalating budgets and as Futurist mentioned, constantly setting records for the most expensive movie ever made, it's amazing that Cameron hasn't failed at the turnstiles since.
Brad Bird made Tomorrowland. Andrew Stanton made John Carter. John McTiernan made both Last Action Hero and The 13th Warrior.
-
Runaway budgets can either spell disaster or put a studio on top.
Titanic and Avatar were ridiculed for their budgets before opening day but both became the biggest movies of all time.
I still don't understand how Jim Cameron got away with it twice. Everyone gets bit in the ass by runaway budgets at some point and he just puts up record breaking box office each time.
*shakes head*

Speaking of studios and franchises what does Lionsgate do after MJ.

Ever since Paramount lost Marvel, they've been a studio in crisis. They literally have nothing in place during the 2016 holiday season.
Watch Lionsgate beat them again this year. With the TCU being at least 2, maybe 3 years away from bearing fruit, Paramount might be the lowest grossing major until 2018.

Sidenote: I really hate it when CGI characters disappear through the camera. That and unrealistic camera movement are my only real peeves with modern effects.
-
All depends on that second trailer. Could decrease on OW too though. I actually think MI5 and Spectre will have very similar OWs, low 80s
The Craig Bond films haven't had the same level of superwide rollouts compared to the competition that the Brosnan films had. I wonder if Spectre bucks the trend and opens with 3700-3800 theaters instead of the usual 3400-3500.

Kids today are going to be nostalgic over Redbox the same way we do for Blockbuster/Hollywood Video.
-That big magic machine after the registers at the supermarket
-Fighting your siblings for control of the touchscreen
-Being all excited for that one movie, only for the DVD's to be sold out (family never had a Blu-ray).
Give it 15 years and you'll hear all those.

That should have been a group.
