I always wanted it to be called Dominion of the Planet of the Apes, though maybe that word would be a bit much for some of the casual audience lol.
-
Dawn had a far superior marketing campaign though and opened fairly high. I don't know if this one can go much above low 60's for OW, but I think it can get close to Dawn's total with the WOM. Without the RT reception, I honestly think it would be opening to like 45-50m. That's how poor the marketing has seemed.
-
It has been horrible. Its box office hopes are basically hinging entirely on Tomato Law for its OW and then fantastic WOM kicking in after that.
-
Why spend all those time and resources on films that are barely profitable? I'm sure there's fans out there of any movie ever made, but that doesn't mean we should just keep getting endless sequels if the demand has clearly died off significantly. Wouldn't people rather have some fresh ideas and franchises in place of the franchises that are doing poorly both commercially and critically?
-
If Transformers 6 actually happens then I would love to know how some of these people that greenlight films hold on to their jobs. The only option for the franchise is to wait a bit and reboot.
-
Maybe not though. I mean the OS audience have still been there for movies like Jack Reacher 2, Oblivion, and Knight and Day. He just has real star power draw OS, no question about it.
-
I get what you mean now, but still think that's a pretty bad comparison for the obvious reasons that it's not actually a sequel. If anything TASM would be the film to compare it to, though we can't since it opened on a Tuesday.
-
In regards to The Mummy, Tom Cruise has certainly had some extremely impressive OS draw power all of this decade. 8 of his 9 films this decade have done exceptionally well OS, especially compared to DOM.
-
I'm sure I'll get called a "hater" for this, but damn if it isn't nice to see OS finally letting some of these franchises down that have long overstayed their welcomes. Would be even nicer if Hollywood learns something from it.
-
Has the Bumblebee film actually started filming? If it's not too far along I wouldn't even be surprised to see it scrapped altogether now.
-
Is TF even going to be profitable WW? Talk about a franchise going down in flames.
-
I am truly excited to see what's in store for WW's late leg holds now. If its held this well in its early/mid game run, holds could truly get crazy from here on out. Either that, or it will inexplicably start acting "normal."
-
Yeah, make that a likely 4 box office hits in a month. Holy shit, what dimension is this?
-
Honestly, critics have always taken it pretty easy on the franchise, imo. 5 of the 6 films have tomatometers that are definitely too high. Movies like TASM2 and SM3 got it far too easy because critics obviously just like Spidey in general. Those quality of movies would have been massacred by critics in franchises like Batman or X-Men.
-
Sony is having two bonafide box office hits in the same month. Heads must literally be spinning over there.
-
The 4x multi and top 5 all time CBM dreams are REAL.
-
Sorry, but calling it a sequel to TASM2 makes absolutely zero sense. Why wasn't TASM viewed as a sequel to SM3 then? People clearly know this has no ties to the TASM movies.
-
Agreed with this. I think the multi is basically locked between 2.2-2.4x regardless of quality. The only way great reception might effect it is RT's effect on the OW. If it gets 90%+, then I think 220m+ on OW can happen.
-
What do you mean? No MCU film is an "original" movie. I'm talking about sequels.
-
Given its hold in the face of the biggest direct competition by far that it will face in its run, maybe WW will basically just turn into Avatar after this weekend with a bunch of sub 25% late leg weekends.
-
Ok, that actually just blew my mind. I've gotten so used to 400m+ DOM grossers in the last 3-4 years, I literally hadn't realized they were ALL Disney besides JW. Holy shit.
-
Well I'm not in that camp either. I think it could get up to a 3.1x. My own prediction atm is between 2.9-3x.
-
That's a good comparison for OW, but hopefully War's WOM will be significantly stronger than Beyond's given how much better its reviews are than Beyond's.
-
I just don't understand why some are treating it like a Civil War or Age of Ultron? It's not a sequel and it can easily stand alone, there's no reason the mutli shouldn't be in line with the rest of MCU's non-sequels, especially given the reviews.
-
I think 3x and 350 for HC can happen. People are acting like its about to get slaughtered by competition or something. We don't even have another guaranteed 200m+ grosser releasing the rest of the summer. And we only have one that is likely to go over 150. I'd say 320 should at least happen for HC.
