As someone else said, why wasn't Warcraft banned?

No. Just no. That was actually an error because I haven't seen Apocalypse. Seriously. I will edit that post to fix that. Thanks for inadvertently pointing that out.

Indeed!

When I mentioned it with CW, I said, 'Movies based on Marvel characters,' which include both those in and not in the MCU; I was very careful with my words.

Considering hiw big discount Tuesday has become, I wonder whether or not a blockbuster that is released on Tuesday in the Summer would earn more on its first Tuesday than its first Friday.

I know that, but I spoke of it separately because the movie rights for X-Men belong to Fox. Duh!

Just out of curiosity, how do blockbusters that open on discount Tuesday fair on opening day and how do the subsequent days stack up?

I haven't seen any movie based on Marvel characters (Deadpool, Civil War) in theaters this year...yet. Dr. Strange will be my first and only because it's so different from the others. The only movies in the MCU...the only movie in the MCU that I've seen in theaters is Avengers (2012). All of the other ones I've seen on home video or television. The only movies in the FOX-Men-CU that I've seen in theaters are X2 and X-Men: First Class. However, so far I've seen every movie in the DCEU in theaters. For some people, there are too many CBMs to spread their love for comic-book characters around, so they prioritize the ones that interest them the most. In other cases, they're just not interested in a particular property strongly enough to bother going to a theater.

I'm honestly being objective. Believe it or not, I'm actually a fan of the DCEU (despite it's flaws); look at my room as proof. Picture of my room

I don't think that R-rated comedies should be underestimated; consider what The Boss did to BvS during the latter's 3rd weekend and what Sausage Party did to Suicide Squad this past weekend. This weekend, we have War Dogs, an R-rated film that's being advertised as a comedy; it could dethrone SS.

Gitesh Pandya ‏@GiteshPandya $6.25M TUE for #SuicideSquad, up 25% from MON. $233.9M cume. Shd break $250M SAT & be at about $263M after 3rd wknd. $300M still possible.

What's funny about that criticism is that the fight between Supes and Zod was actually quite short; it lasted about five minutes.

Am I missing something here? Yesterday was only SS' 2nd Monday?

How, when it's projected to earn less than GotG domestically?

Damn.

Is a 60% drop for Monday likely?

The bias against this movie is real. It's so real that even its soundtrack is being attacked. Check out this New York Post article about it. Link: Article.

Monday estimates?

I've learned to expect the worst with the DCEU in terms of box office performance. So, I'm going to say 60-62%; I think that Sausage Party will take anothet bite out of its take and that War Dogs will take its own, bigger bite. By the way, I actually like the DCEU, though I acknowledge that the theatrical cuts of BvS and SS are terrible. Take a look at my room. Image

What's the basis of your prediction?

Damn. Hopefully the actuals are higher. A flat 45M would be nice.

In other words, he's James Cameron. I understand.

Understood, but I'm personally going to assume that he's James Cameron. Hey, @Rth, I love Terminator 2..You're the best, mate.

If he's an industry insider, such as a box-office analyst, I don't see why it would be a big deal for him to reveal his profession. This leads me to believe that he's something much more grand: a celebrity - an actor, movie producer, or director. He could be Leonardo DiCaprio, Kevin Feige, or James Cameron. I suppose that he doesn't want to be spammed by fans.

I'd really like to know what Rth does for a living and subsequently how he gains this knowledge before us commoners. I've been told that he can't or won't divulge, but I'd like to know why.
