Anybody here been to the restaurant twin peaks?

This is a crazy year! Everything is Disney. I wonder how the other half of the summer will do, if films like Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Hobbs & Shaw, and Good Boys could pull in some decent cash that would be great! But everything up until IT 2 looks like things will do sub-par. But Disney is definitely making most of the cash this year, I think that’s a strange summer story and story of 2019. 2019’s only success stories this year have been The Upside, Disney, John Wick 3 having a large improvement from its predecessor as third films die off fast or increase just a small margin, Rocketman/Yesterday being more successful than franchises like Men In Black or X-Men for example. Us as well, outgrossed dead franchises. As for so far the losers, Fox although they’ve had Disney merger they can’t have a hit. Breakthrough was a hit for the but all else failed. Little movies have bombed specular. Also sequels except Disney or John Wick 3,all underperformed or paled in comparison to their predecessors.

It’s all crumbling now... I may bring it back

I think it was locked and gone for good.

Maybe it’s because I’m a guy. But does anyone else miss the hot women thread on here? I wish it could be brought back lol

Different bond. But I saw Die Another Day last night, actually a pretty good movie.

It depends on horror films. Annabelle is a strange player.

Spidey gets high, while new releases don’t bring a new light. Spider-Man Far From Home continues to lead the top spot this weekend. While the two new releases are a mixed bag this weekend. Spider-Man Far From Home led the top spot once again with an estimated $45.3 million, and a 2nd weekend drop of 51%. It’s second weekend drop was marginally better than Homecoming’s 62% drop. However that drop was with the release of War Of The Planet Of The Apes opening at this point two years ago. It’s also interesting to note that this is the first Spider-Man solo film to be on the top spot for more than one weekend, since Spider-Man 3! Overall as worldwide is already outgrossing what Homecoming did in it’s entire run and it’s playing quite strong. I wouldn’t be shocked if this comes close to $400 million domestic total. Toy Story 4 has held up nicely on the second spot this weekend as it has dropped below 40%. The film should still come close to Toy Story 3’s domestic total, which is quite a rarity for 4th films in today’s day and age. Crawl debuted with an estimated $12 million. That debut isn’t a big chomper like The Meg(which Deadline brags about at this comparison)or even The Shallows. But keep in mind this is actually a decent start for a film with a $13.5 million budget, I know people will be complaining about how this could’ve been a tent pole or this didn’t have star power etc but c’mon you’re selling a film during hurricane season about a crocodile in a hurricane. Which studios have tried to sell goofy scenarios before like Snakes On A Plane for example and that was considered a box office disappointment and that had a major star selling the movie! Or Crawl’s own director Alexandre Aja with Piranha 3D which sold on the 3D craze more than anything, and it didn’t make a jaw-dropping domestic total but it made a killing overseas. Crawl’s debut is a tough comparison as it is on-par with 47 Meters Down. The debut was below Summer 2016’s sleeper The Shallows. Also was below the adjusted $19.4 million debut of the last croc film Lake Placid, the $18.9(or $19 million rounded as it was $18.99) debut of Snakes On A Plane, and a far cry from Aja’s $14 million adjusted debut of Mirrors. It was also similar to the adjusted $11.8 million debut of Piranha 3D. Overall this should make a bite with around $30 million domestic. While Crawl will probably be considered an ok start for Paramount, Stuber was not a good or an ok start for Fox. Stuber suffered a flat tire this weekend with an estimated $8 million. That debut is below comparable July R-rated comedy bombs such as Sex Tape. It’s similar to The House from two years ago, which debuted around $8 million as well during a holiday weekend. It’s also below the debut of other buddy comedy bombs such as RIPD or The Nice Guys for example. However it’s close to the debut of CHiPs and some of the other buddy movie bombs like The Glimmer Man for example(without adjusting ticket price inflation). Stuber will probably crash off theaters fast, and make close to $20 million domestic. Yesterday still pulling strong for a little movie without big stars. The film should do north of $60 million domestic and be a nice profit for Universal. Aladdin still pulling in strong as it’s $40 million away from $1 billion and is now Will Smith’s highest grossing film domestic! Aladdin should definitely outgross Alice In Wonderland soon. Horror films Annabelle Comes Home and Midsommar had decent drops this weekend. Annabelle dropped at 41% and Midsommar close to 46%. Which Midsommar is playing better than It Comes At Night two years ago. $25 million domestic will be a stretch for Midsommar but not a shock, and Annabelle close to $70 million domestic. Two dead sequels still on the top 10 and holding up ok. Secret Life Of Pets 2 almost $150 million, and should do close to $155 million domestic. Men In Black International is well dead to Sony.... need I say anymore? Rocketman and Endgame still pulling out strong. Rocketman will sadly fall short of $100 million possibly now, and Endgame will do $855-$860 million roughly. overall the top 12 this weekend was at $116.4 million this weekend which is down 26% from last year when Hotel Transylvania 3 pulled in a decent amount of cash, and Skyscraper crashed domestically. July 2019 is now just slight under July 2018 at the same point. 2019 is down from 2018 and 2016 still! It’s on-par with 2017. And ahead of 2015 by a slight and 2014 by a large margin.

Saw a TV spot for this at a bar I was at on tv. Sounds intriguing.

The posters look great! WB should give this a push very soon! However I don’t think this”ll be like their past three years in their successful August slot. It could do more moderate like an opening around $13-$17 million and make above $45-$50 million domestic.

They’ve done that before with The Italian Job remake back in 2003 by giving it a late summer push. Hopefully same goes for Rocketman.

Well, this looks to be an okay weekend. Spider-Man doing mid 40’s, and Toy Story holding up. For the rest, Crawl doing $11 million probably is ok but not what some hoped for, and it will likely be a small profit. Stuber flopped.... oh well. This summer has honestly kinda sucked box office wise. If you’re not Disney you’re nothing.

The Lion King: $155 million

Now if you’re talking about just this summer alone yes it kinda has been. Lack of breakouts of smaller films. However, as above mentioned, Yesterday and Rocketman have both turned in a decent amount of cash already. I think Hobbs & Shaw and Hollywood should both pull in a decent amount of cash for the end of the summer as well!
