People hated Tomorrowland. I actually think Alice will hold up better in that regard. Families on the weekend might also help more.

I'm just glad that a superhero movie is failing at the box office. Any guesses on what Alice's total might be?

It's not a superhero movie, it wouldn't do well no matter what date it came out on.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. It's a lot of fun, fast-paced, and actually less CGI based than the first one. In fact the whole movie is much better than the first one, partially because this one has a discernible plot. It's unfortunate to see the critics ganging up on it but it's probably because there is nothing less hip than Johnny Depp and Tim Burton at the moment, and let's face it, the first one just left a such a bad taste in people's mouths that it's carried over to the sequel. I really think audiences will enjoy it.

Many of you had it positioned for 500-600 million. It's gotta hurt just a bit.

It's a pretty big kick in the nuts domestically regardless.

So glad that Civil War is such a massive disappointment. I hope it's a sign that people are getting sick of this superhero crap; and yes I hated BVS as well. Civil War was crap and it's failure at the box office reflects that.

Tootsie - almost 500 million adjusted for a smart New York comedy.

Civil War floppage continues.

Why do you assume that I liked that? Both are horrible.

Some people want more than heartless corporate cash grabs.

Too bad it's such a tedious bore.

It's always wonderful when a terrible movie falls short of expectations.

Yep, we're all fucked and you guys will look back and realised that you let it happen.

Deadpool is a juvenile, idiotic piece of junk. The success of this film is incredibly depressing and will only lead to bigger pieces of brain-dead immature crap being made.

It just means that the directors branch didn't respond to it as well or liked other movies more. The branches don't always line up perfectly, so that would probably explain it.

Can Sisters reach 100M?

LOL Star Wars missed PGA. Should have been an easy nomination.

Well that proves my point. It was shown in New York and then went into general release in January 1941, why would that not be included in the first run. I also doubt that ticket prices changed astronomically between 1939 and 1941. I feel like you just want to make the argument that Star Wars TFA run is better than Gone with the Wind.

Probably quite minor, also dramatically different from 2015 prices.

It's essentially fact. The film was in general release for about 5 years. Not sure where you are getting these gaps from. Perhaps during the transport of the film reels across the country.

1941 and 1942 are still part of the first run release. It was just released in new areas i.e. outside of New York and Los Angeles.

And about half the population of America at the time. It also didn't have 10+ re-releases because you're counting it's expansion out of the large movie houses in New York and Los Angeles as a re-releases. Not to mention that adjusted for inflation that it's going to gross about twice as much as TFA.

Totally untrue. If anything it is way more significant.

You can forget about Star Wars getting nominated for Best Picture. It isn't going to happen and I'm afraid that you may be setting yourselves up for disappointment.
