I know i'm late about all these summer openings but still:
1st weekend: huge for IM3! First solo Marvel character to cross 400M since SM in 2002. Want part 4 for 2016.
2nd weekend: very great for Gatsby! Director will make more than his last 3 movies combined (R+J, MoulinRouge and Australia).
3rd weekend: quite good for StarTrek but i get the desillusion of the 100/300 believers. Still better than the SH2 situation.
4th weekend: so big for FF6. A 6th part bigger than the 5th, itself bigger than the 4th, itself bigger than the 3rd? Unheard of!
5th weekend: bad for AE. Can't believe Shyamalan didn't fix his credit with Will Smith. His future is very cloudy, now...
6th weekend: weak for TheInternship. Proof that a momentum won't last forever. WeddingCrasher is SO mid 2000's...
7th weekend: impressive for MoS. In 3 days, does more than half of Returns total. WB can breath after Potter & Batman ends.
8th weekend: very good for MU but also astounding for WWZ. Just the fact that we could have 3 movies over 50M (non-holiday!)...
9th weekend: bad for WHD. Lessen the Tatum/Foxx momentum but no career will stop (except someone at Sony?). And Emmerich will come back big!
Now: huge for DM2. A animated in the SummerTop3, for sure. TLR? Can we say Bruckheimer quite lost his touch?
