How about that little indie flick called Guardians of Galaxy vol 2? Above or below expectations?

I find that Marvel movies get better with more fluid storytelling, better jokes, less cheesy stuff as more movies are being put into production and released.

RE: F8 Enough gas to hit $400M ?

F8 just passed F7 with current ER?

A huge potential market there. Same population as US and their developing economy can only go up.

Deadline says industry projection for F8 is $230M but a $20M 3rd weekend with a $193M cumulative should allow F8 to speed through $240M-$250M.

They should go back to their roots of street racing.

Where How much total box office do you think F8, Beauty & Boss end up with? Beauty is locked to pass 30M euros

After Disney's record in 2016 and how Maleficent & Cinderella proved that live-action business is the new business for Disney. I think a carefully packaged blockbuster with bells & whistles like Beauty is a preordained smash hit. $800M is a lock and $1B WW is hardly a surprise. A surprise is $1.5B

They could have tightened the cast, excised some extraneous scenes, staged the ice-chase a little better but the insanity surrounding a submarine chasing a bunch of cars including a Lamborghini is probably enough for the GA. That zombie car scene is go-for-broke insane but that is nothing like it in movies.

Will do around F7 number? $400M. Still huge

Not that crazy. Civil War, Zootopia, Jungle Book, each made more than $600M internationally last year.

they are too busy popping champagnes....again

"The Jedi must ....end" So..just robots and aliens then?

Does TFA midnight number include Star Wars Marathon viewings? Not apple to apple?

Some are predicting that, believe it or not

Looking at the trailer, David Leitch seems to be the more visually inclined of the Leitch-Stahelski pair
