If anyone is curious as to what real good WOM actually looks like for these movies, Guardians of the Galaxy potentially beating SS's second Friday # in spite of opening 40m lower is a great starting point.
What pisses me off most is I went against my best judgment and dismissed the critics as just being unfair and biased against DCEU when those reviews came out. Even though I should know better. Can't think of the last time I enjoyed a sub 30% RT movie.
Guardian's second Sat and Sun holds would put SS at 42m for the weekend with a 12m Friday. But why would its Sat/Sun holds be as good as GotG's when its Friday was already so much worse? High 30's max with a 12m Friday.
But Baumer is saying $50m+ for the weekend, which means he thinks a 62% drop is the worst it's getting. That should be the absolute best case scenario for the drop, not the worst.
I said that back when Rth was still giving us low 30's as a possibility for Saturday. That would have been such an abysmal Sat drop it would have set a new record for lowest 50m+ opening multi ever for sure. It still very well might.
I don't think WOM will be bad, but we have to see how much of the audience going this weekend is a niche one. Don't think we can say for sure yet it's having big GA appeal.
It's amazing how people aren't willing to spend $20 per ticket on movies their friends say suck these days.
Trump should really be promising us affordable shitty blockbusters for all.
