    X-Men First Class and Green Lantern opened two weeks apart.

     

    TASM and TDKR opened 2... and a half weeks apart.

     

    GotG and TMNT opened a week apart.

     

    X-Men: Apocalypse and TMNT2 opened a week apart.

     

    Judging from the above results,I fear for the health of JL....

    despite WW success. There could be only one ...in a single month.

    Wildcards (aka potential 100M crossers) in italic. The record can be beaten, but it will be very close.

     

    Baywatch has a great cast but the bloody luridness, the gratuitous extreme nudity and the extreme gross out jokes are not there in the original TV series.

    Audience just tuned out. But Jumanji looks to be the typical big family movie GA is expecting during the Holidays

    I fucking ADORED this movie. Everyone was awesome. Jackson, Reynolds, Yung, Oldman, HAYEK. It reminded me those old buddy cop films like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Lethal Weapon. I seriously would be down for a sequel and I do think that it could be possible if it catches on OS and in home video / netflix. I'd be totally down for that. 

     

    I like the cast and this one has that  light Lethal Weapon feel. If only they cut the profanities and the gore, it could get a wider audience.

    Box office after the Oscar nomination annoucement of movie released before september in the past:

     

    Hurt locker 4.3m

    Beast: $1.5m

    Boyhood: $979k

    Midnight in paris: $300k

    Winter bone: $260k

    Grand budapest hotel: $215k

    The help: $100k

    Fury Road: $0

    Hell or high water : $0

    Tree of Life: $0

    Toy story 3: 0

    Kids of All rights: 0

    Inception: 0

    Up: 0

    District 9: 0

    Inglorious bastard: 0

     

    When talking early release date, Oscar can help the winner or very small movie that have people learning about them for the first time by the Oscar nomination annoucement.

     

    For a movie that achieved complete saturation (almost anyone that would care about the Oscar are already aware of Dunkirk) like Dunkirk with that release date (DVD release in november) I'm not sure the Oscar can have any effect box office wise, outside winning best picture and even then should not be big. It is about helping home video performance at that point.

     

    Dunkirk will earn close to $180M this Labor Day weekend and will hit $190M in a month or 2. If Warner decides for an Oscar push, it could play on for months longer and war movie is easier to sell than a historical drama or some quirky indie darling. But you are right: historical data speaks volume.

    I think Prometheus numbers ($125M) would be really good for this. It's unlikely Villeneuve and co. are trying to restart a franchise here.

     

    Not so bullish on this one. Not saying it will be a bad movie but it looks to be too cerebral for GA.

    Prometheus opened big because of the promise of Xenomorphs. When GA realised Prometheus

    is about something else, they dumped it.

    $100M is closer to what 2049 can do. 

  7. I think the word "War" is a major deterrent for moviegoers, even for fans of the first 2.

    Rise is about escape and Dawn is about struggle. War implies active participation in aggressive

    behaviour. Nobody likes a warring ape clan, Dawn is against that idea. And War against humans,

    even though it is "bad" humans, make for a rather dark & depressing story for GA and casual fans

    looking for fun & lighter fares.
