'Where the hell are people getting Christopher Robin at $300M+?!! I mean, I loved the trailer and all but no way does this movie get past $300M domestic. If it gets to $200M, that would be more than beating expectations.
Hmmm...seems really stupid to include a scene that might induce seizures, especially in a kid's movie. Might have a slight negative effect on the box office.
Disney- $2.870 billion. (2016) That's just for 2016 Disney releases. $3 billion even for all the money Disney raked in from Jan 1, 2016- Dec 31, 2016 for 2015/2016 releases.
So far for this year, Disney is at approximately $1.8 billion.
Is it just me or does this summer seem a little underwhelming for some particular reason? Maybe it's the fact that everything's a sequel this summer except for Skyscraper and Christopher Robin.
In other weekend news, Adrift sputtered out. Probably get a little above $30m for its domestic run. Hotel Artemis dropped off the map and Hereditary, wow, Hereditary held up amazingly well. A 48% drop for a horror movie, especially one with a D+ CinemaScore, is pretty darn awesome.
No, your original statement was that it would have had a respectable BO if it wasn't for racism and in fact there was an active sabotage campaign against the movie that would have prevented it from being a hit even if it was the greatest movie in the world.
That's probably true, the same as countless people being against Independence Day because it starred Will Smith. The problem is using racism to explain away the poor performance of a film when other factors, namely it was just a badly made movie, were the primary causes of the movie bombing.
Sooooo...lemme get this straight, racism didn't keep Black Panther from getting nearly $700m but it kept AWiT from getting $130m. Okay, got it, thanks!
At this point, no way does FK get more than $135m next weekend. Too many factors against and now it has a possible $100 second weekend for I2 against it.
