So people are just going to ignore that he's writing the articles for traffic?

Get Out's run is still mind-bogglingly amazing. Even its overseas numbers were pretty good for a horror movie.

Nobody is passing Final Judgement. people are discussing what the potential numbers could be. And they'll discuss what the actual estimates are when they come in.

I don't think there's any reason to panic at all. It's not going to drop 65 to 70% so it's going to be fine.

If it continues to follow Ant-Man then of course I think that it could easily drop 60% and I'm already predicting something close to that. I might even predict 60% when I see all the numbers. And I'm already predicting a 60% Boost from Thursday to Friday by the way. That's why how I'm coming up with my projections. Of course I'm predicting it to drop 9 or 10% today. The Thursday number will be really important.

Yeah, I think this thread needs a title change.

I could be wrong but I still think that the pre-sales are fooling people into low predictions. I still don't think this is a pre-sale type of film.

Under. 9.8mil.

Apes 3 68mil Spidey 48.6-58.4%

So I'm projecting Spidey to play out like this. 15.05mil 9.8mil-35% 8.9mil-9% 14.2+60% 19.2mil+35% 15.2-21% Weekend Total: 48.6mil-58.4% Of course my projections will change when the real numbers come in.

The Summer schedule was weak besides a few films. Have no idea why studios are still mostly avoiding the first weekend of August.

I think 400mil is going to be a close call either way for Wonder Woman. It will be interesting to see how Baby Driver holds up in the face of competition like Apes.

I don't think 50mil is guaranteed. It really depends on how it holds up against Apes. I'm basing that on number crunching I did last night. Of course I had Tuesday doing 15.9mil. I wasn't far off enough to care about the difference.

Who said the number was bad? Why are you so bothered by certain people's analysis of the numbers? There is a reason that no box office analyst are treating these expected numbers as amazing.

My feelings exactly. A completely expected number from Spidey.

That's fair but most fanboys only hate critics when they dislike their pet movies or shows.

Critics are gods when the agree with fanboys but awful when they don't

Transformers is just profusely bleeding audience. I still think it's funny that even though the international numbers are still huge that they have gone down significantly from the last movie. This one truly is the end of the line for the Bay Transformers I think.

I think that the film is going to end up rotten or barely fresh

I agree, people do not look at the average score.

I feel like I'm an opposite land this year. It is amazing to see the amount of hardcore Marvel fans be so jealous of the success of the Wonder Woman movie. Usually it's DC fans crying about Marvel success. It's very interesting. Certainly I wish these hardcore groups could enjoy more than one thing but they can't.

I stand by my nobody checks on Metacritic to decide whether to see a movie or not. It's nowhere near as ubiquitous and popular as Rotten Tomatoes. Studios boldly use Rotten Tomatoes in their advertisements. If they use Metacritic it's a tiny little thing.

Nobody cares about Metacritic. Absolutely no one that makes the decision to see or not see a movie based on its Metacritic rating.

I agree with your assessment but I'm afraid to say that for fear of looking like a hater or an overreactor or something. People continue to say The Dark Knight dropped 29% but the Dark Knight also dropped 8% from Saturday to Sunday. Usually movies that have Hefty Friday to Saturday drops stabilized and have really tiny drops on Sunday and Homecoming's drop-off merely okay. I know the conversation is going to change when the movie gets it's normal Tuesday bump and people forget that every movie gets that but right now and I haven't seen anything that is super impressive about it's run. I remember when people were claiming that Logan was going to have really long legs because it had great reviews.

Yeah I think that most people are expecting a normal drop but the ones who are in their Fantasyland confuse me.
