Those leaks completely destroyed Sony. I really feel for them. We need those big studios, I don't want one to fail. Every Studio had its time and innovations, when others lacked creativity. Imagine only Disney is left 10 years from here...

So it's pretty safe to assume now, that WW will become the most successful DCU-Movie. Wow, that's amazing. Should pass $300m on ID weekend with a lot of gas left in the tank.

Variety numbers wouldn't be too shabby for "The Mummy", but I'm afraid, this one might be heavy on matinees with older audiences and thatfor drop at night.

It's the same Mon-Wed Drop JW faced. It's perfectly fine.

They were saying 78m-83m for friday though and were spot on with it. Being unable to find reasonable WE-Multipliers is another story. And BvS obviously dropped liek a rock.

So either the mid-west is completely dead for WW, or Gitesh is just wrong. LA is selling out 10 PM shows in 3d 3 hours in advance. This is not doing $21m only on Friday. Hell, this would be not much more than Boss Baby did, if you take cheaper tickets for kids into account.

Looking at reserved seatings, this is doing gangbusters at night. I really can't see this doing only 24m on friday minus previews with that kind of sellouts.

This is not about "behaving". You can't expect a 3 year old to look 2 1/2 hours at a screen where shit blows up constantly.

I guess we were talking about the OD/WE-Ratio here.

GotG had a 2.5x.

I'm seriously happy that no 3 year old would even come close to watching the movie in a german theater. There's so much room for bad parenting, so I'm quite happy, when somebody steps in and denies it on some occasions.

I feel like Boss Baby, due too the Trump/Baldwin-Connection, was skewing older than what I expect CU to manage, so I still think this might do $35m with that preview number.

It won't drop 43% on sunday, either.

It feels like Fox dumped this, but now it's getting great reviews. Feels like how Paramount dumped one of the greatest movies Dreamworls ever made when the contrackt ended: Rise of the Guardians.

What is going on with Captain Underpants? Is this a dump by Fox with the movie being the last Dreamworks they distribute? There has never been a CGI movie by dreamworks opening ins such a low number of theaters.

As the first animated movie of the summer, I think this might even open to around $35m.

While "The Witch" didn't look appealing to the General Audience, this one looks like a straight up Horrorthriller, that could bring typical Horror Crowds to the movies.

"The Martian" was a great example to hint at a visionary director, that that's what audiences want: New stuff. Robin Hood, those Alien Prequels, Exodus. Those aren't stories worth telling anymore. Maybe it's just the fact, that Scott has no great stories left in his mind.

What a horrible weekend ahead. Let's hope next weekend breaks out, though. BatB is assured to cross $500m on MD WE now.

With a $16,5m Friday, we better look at it clearing $100m first, before we even think about $125m.

Movies potentially targeting african-American audiences usually are not very preview-driven, though.

I don't think that's enough for a $50m opening. Prometheus did almost the same from midnights only 5 years ago. This is not a backloaded franchise at all.

Sometimes it's not the board, that changes, sometimes it's us. It's like in real life. Sometimes things change, sometimes we move in different directions one day. We can't always blame the others. I know exactly what you feel from another board. I have basically grown up in message boards. They are not the same they used to be anymore. Every era has an ending. I don't think it's the new users. It's old users growing up and maybe finding a better, another place. Every community dies out in the end. And then what felt like home once, isn't home anymore. As sad as it is.

Looks like BatB is about to break the $500m-Milestone over Memorial Day. Summer Weekdays should even push it to $505m in the end.

Finally. That's all I can say. And Thank you, seriously. We need to get out of the viral downward spiral of negativity. Life is not shit, we just ask too much of it sometimes. Stay positive, guys. That makes you feel better in the end.
