Yeah, the anti-MCU circle jerk going on in this thread is pretty funny. Especially considering this was supposed to be the "weekend of positivity" and all that. Well, I'm positive DS2 is going to do pretty good, box-office wise. I'm positive that theaters are pretty happy for some normal business again. And I'm positive we'll be seeing the same crabby people saying the same crabby things again in a couple of months.

1. Glory 2. Do The Right Thing 3. Born on the Fourth of July 4. Dead Poets Society 5. When Harry Met Sally 6. My Left Foot 7. Roger & Me 8. Sex, Lies and Videotape 9. Back to the Future Part 2 10. Batman 11. Driving Miss Daisy 12. Drugstore Cowboy 13. Dead Calm 14. Casualties of War 15. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 16. Lethal Weapon 2 17. War of the Roses 18. Field of Dreams 19.

It was in my list, but I can see how it can be a polarizing movie to many.

My top 10 (and not ashamed to admit that I liked "American Beauty" more than most...): 1. Magnolia 2. American Beauty 3. Office Space 4. Go 5. The Green Mile 6. The Matrix 7. Thomas Crown Affair 8. Fight Club 9. Boy's Don't Cry 10. Election

I'm a big Marvel Studios fan and am happy they make quality films...but trust me, they would rather every movie make a billion, good or not.

It means, in his opinion, this is the best Spider-Man film he's ever seen. Not sure what's so "baffling" about it.

Thanks for the nice numbers. Summer finally generating some optimism at the box-office. Spidey, Alladin, Toy Story, Annabelle, Yesterday, Rocketman and Spring-holdover Endgame all running strong.

Just wanted to let you know that your list has inspired me to watch The Longshot and Gloria Bell, two movies I was previously indifferent on. So there's that...

Thanks for sharing this list and all the interesting write-ups that went with it. I don't always share your opinions on certain films but I appreciate your love and joy of movies and going to the cinema, which comes across in your writing.

Sorry you didn't like it. Hopefully the next movie you see is more enjoyable for you. I disagree and found the movie utterly charming and thought the villain was very compelling. I'm happy it had a strong first week at the box office.

I just got out of the movie and adored it!! Definitely stay for the post credits scenes (2).

I totally concur with this!!!

Not Jim....just you.

Yeah, but when a movie makes 800M+ domestic and 2.7B+ WW we'll just drop the mike and call it a day.

So ENDGAME's drop is pretty good comparatively to the rest of the top 10.

Not whatever this is...

I was thinking there would be Wednesday numbers in the Wednesday numbers thread. I was very wrong....

I think that anything in the 50M+ range is a very good opening for DP. As a non video game fan, there wasn't much this movie was going to offer to me, besides the Ryan Reynolds hook, and I wasn't much looking forward to a PG version of the Reynolds charm. Also, the movie was fighting for the youth audience that is still being held onto a bit by A:EG, so the timing didn't help. With that in mind, I think this was a fine opening weekend for this.

Doing a little reconnaissance at my local theater for the remaining shows for the evening: DP 7 showtimes 382 Tickets sold A:EG 10 showtimes 437 Tickets sold I expect both movies will be walk-up heavy tonight.

Thought I would check to see how the sales and pre-sales are doing at my local theater for tonight for DP and A:EG. DP 7 showtimes: 129 A:EG 7 showtimes: 127 This should make for an interesting weekend showdown.

He was responding to another poster who asked.

Weekdays falling a bit lower than my initial projections, but as other's have said it opened so high that demand had to taper off faster than what we consider "normal". The film was marketed as a must-see-on-opening weekend event and that's how the public responded. That said, I still have this legging it out to 885-900M, which is near a 2.5 multi, and a crotch-load of money... That it's, imo, an epic and satisfying film, is pretty nice too.

Wish I could "like" this more than once!!!

You're a good sport and a true fan. This is all supposed to be fun and games, anyway.
