I'm not doing the stuff about the weekend for this weekend today. Just Angry Birds will leg and make $140 million domestic, Neighbors 2 should make between $60-$70 million domestic. The Nice Guys should make over $30 million domestic. Overall, May 2016 is going to be the least attended since between 2005-2006.

I really liked both The Nice Guys and Neighbors 2 it's a shame both of those aren't making more $$$$.

i liked this sequel, I thought it was pretty funny and had lots of funny moments I also enjoyed the sorioty minions moment, and other stuff. Overall solid comedy sequel, I liked it. Grade:B+.

X-Men will bomb and Alice increases from its predecessor next weekend.

June 2016 preview(a little early but whatever): After a weak May, June could maybe lighten things with Finding Dory, Central Intelligence, and Independence Day:Resurgence possibly bringing in most of the business. As well as possibly Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:Out Of Shadows, and The Conjuring 2. June 3rd: At the beginning of June starts off with the live action sequel to 2014's hit Teenage Mutant Turtles which opened with $65 million and exited with $191 million domestic and made $493 million worldwide. It's a strong possibility that Out Of Shadows will likely not debut as big as it's predcessor but should open around $50 million or around other June openers like X-Men:First Class and Snow White And The Huntsman and do just fine overseas and possibly outgross it's the first film's domestic total overseas. While the other two new releases will not be as big with the romantic drama Me Before You, and R-rated Andy Samberg/Judd Appatow comedy Pop star:Never Stop Never Stop Popping. Romantic dramas have been sucessful at the beginning of June with The Fault In Our Stars($48 million OW onto $124 million domestic), although that a big fanbase Me Before You has a different type of audience with adults and should serve as a decent counterprogrammer and make around the domestic total of Water For Elephants($58 million). As for the last new release of this weekend, the Andy Samberg/Judd Apatow R-rated comedy Popstar Never Stop Never Stop Popping, Andy Samberg is sucessful with TV with Brooklyn Nine Nine on FOX and former SNL alum(The Lonely Island will be in the film as well) But Samberg isn't that popular on the big screen with his first film Hot Rod nearly 10 years ago made around $15 million domestic and That's My Boy didn't even make it to $40 million domestic 4 years ago so that's a not a great sign either. a debut for the film around That's My Boy seems like a good risk for it but nothing special and should likely fall off theaters before the 4th of July. June 10: Three new releases are released this weekend a trouble production film based upon a popular video game franchise(Warcraft) and two sequels to films released on the summer of 2013(The Conjuring 2, and Now You See Me 2). Movies based upon video games are usually a mixed bag when there's a hit like Lara Croft Tomb Raider($131 million) or Angry Birds there's always a Need For Speed($43 million), or Doom($28 million). Warcraft has a big fanbase and is popular with its advertisements with famous celebrities(Chuck Norris, Ozzy Osbourne, and Mr. T) but as a film Warcraft is hurt by possibly a chance of possible bad word of mouth and needs to have something to butts into a seat. A good scenario for Warcraft is Hercules which debuted with $29 million and made $72 million domestic 2 summers ago. The first sequel of the weekend is horror film The Conjuring 2, which The Conjuring was released back in July 2013 and debuted with $41 million and made $137 million domestic then a year its spinoff/prequel Annabelle made $37 million opening and made $84 million domestic. With, director James Wan coming back and the two main characters coming back as well could bring solid business and possibly lead the weekend considering that horror fans haven't had a horror film really this year and is possibly the most anticipated horror film of the year. Look for The Conjuring 2 to be a decent success but nothing close to its predcessor, but still be a decent counterprogrammer with audiences. Other sequel Now You See Me 2 might not be as sucessful as The Conjuring 2. Also in the summer 2013, Now You See Me was a sleeper hit which debuted with $29 million and made $117 million domestic, that's very unlikely for its sequel. With, very little marketing effort that Lionsgate has even with the addition of Daniel Radcliffe to the film isn't helping at all. It's likely that Now You See Me 2 won't even come close to half of the first film's domestic total. June 17: With much anticipation, Finding Dory comes out and Finding Nemo back in 2003 was a hit($380 million domestic) including a re-release back in 2012 and made nearly $50 million domestic. Finding Dory also has the benefit of Pixar's success train(although The Good Dinosaur underperformed) and should help out with the families off school so it should be a decent hit. Other release, buddy Comedy Central Intelligence with Kevin Hart and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Both stars are very popular draws and are very popular on social media. Look for Central Intelligence to be the highest grossing comedy of the summer. On Saturday I"ll share my thoughts onIndependence Day:Resurgance, Free State Of Jones, and The Shallows so stay tuned.

X-Men underperforms, and Alice 2 surpises.

May 2016 is going to be the least attended May since 2006.

Sony has two hits this summer with Money Monster and Angry Birds. Sony has some potential hits for the summer with The Shallows, Ghostbusters, Sausage Party, and Don't Breathe. WB for now just has Central Intelligence, and Suicide Squad for this summer. Me Before You has always been a wildcard.

Universal's summer looks boring. Pets should be their biggest hit. Warcraft will bomb in the U.S and make crazy $$$$ overseas just like Pacific Rim and Terminator:Genisys.

So Neighbors 2 won't reach a $100 million domestic. Then that means what comedies will breakout this summer? Popstar could likely debut between $8-$11 million opening weekend and close around $25 million domestic. Popstar's OW needs to be around Get Him To The Greek's OW in order to be a surprise hit. That's My Boy's OW would just be normal but not a surpise. Central Intelligence should bring in at least $45-$50 million opening weekend, and leg and do about $150-$155 million domestic. Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates should open around the OW of Let's Be Cops and make about $60 million domestic. Ghostbusters should open around $45 million OW and make $160 million domestic. Sausage Party should debut around $25 million OW, and make $90 million domestic. War Dogs should do $10-$12 million OW, and make about $25-30 million domestic.

Might not be until Dory and Central Intelligence when things lighten up. Memorial Day weekend could be alright, but could likely be over predicted.

2016

Fuck. Hopefully no more underperformers but these two movies look stupid but anyway. X-Men:Apocylpse:86 million 3-day(101 million 4-day), Alice 2: 52 million 3-day(65 million 4-day).

Some actors are good to stay in non-blockbuster films but like I said above him,Crowe,and Black should do another film similar to The Nice Guys and set it between 1980-1984.

It was a pretty good movie. It's a shame it's a flop, I think they should have another buddy movie with Gosling and Crowe again. I kinda would like to see a follow up to The Nice Guys to see what they do next or maybe have a film like The Nice Guys and set it in 1980(also have Shane Black attached)

To all of the people who avoided The Nice Guys:

Lots of fun! Chemistry works, great 70's style to it, action works, and overall a pretty damn good movie out of this and Money Monster(the two I have seen so far this summer movie season) this is the better one I have seen this summer and I look forward to see it again and will definitely buy the bluray combo pack in the fall for sure! Grade:B+

Reaction to these early numbers:

Agreed but Melissa McCarthy, and Tom Cruise can pull off a 20+ debut.

Either way it should be a decent profit for WB. If it's holds are strong and doesn't die down. WB needs to have a recooperation after the flops they had late 2015(although they had Black Mass, and Creed make profit). WB should have a decent 2016(discluding Tarzan which should be a big box office bomb).

Deadline loves superhero movies.

Neighbors 2 should probably open around Spy or Trainwreck on the low end, and open around Dumb & Dumber To on the high end. If that's the case, then a total around $80-$85 milion domestic seems the norm for Neighbors 2.

Big weekend coming up!

Not bad for Angry Birds, should likely bring in above $40 million for the weekend.
