Anyway now I'm back to normal. Finding Dory held up strong this weekend and should make at least $435 million domestic. As for the lead of the new releases, Independence Day:Resurgance that wasn't the case. Its been 20 years since the original was released to screens, and was the highest grossing film of 1996 and has been shown on TV, and a alright 6.9/10 on IMDB(better than Resurgance's 5.8/10). But without Will Smith, mixed to toxic word of mouth(40% audience score on rotten tomatoes) the sequel didn't appeal to audiences. Independence Day should probably have mediocre legs at best, and make at least $100 million domestic. Last weekend's other release, Central Intelligence had a decent drop with around 48% much better than The Rock's other films and better than Kevin Hart's other recent films and on-par with Think Like A Man, and Ride Along. But steeper than The Wedding Ringer, and The Heat. Overall Central Intelliegence, should end its run around $110 million domestic. Other new release this weekend, The Shallows had a decent start this weekend with an estimated $16.7 million. That start is better than other underwater features such as Shark Night, and Piranha(2010), and is also one of Blake Lively's better debuts in a lead role. But it's a far cry from other shark features(when including attendance) such as the first three Jaws films and Deep Blue Sea. But with decent word of mouth, and lack of competition The Shallows should hold strong and come close to at least $50 million domestic. Free State Of Jones was another stinker for STX Entertainment after Hardcore Henry, and with a $50 million production budget and a star like Matthew Mccoungahey this is a dissapointment. But could hold up next weekend with the 4th Of July holiday, and could be lost in the shuffle as it was originally scheduled for a May 13th release then switched to June. Overall, Free State Of Jones should end its run around $20 million domestic. Horror sequel The Conjuring 2 held okay for a horror sequel, and should end its run close to $105 million domestic. Now You See Me 2 also had a decent hold, and should end its run around $65 million domestic. X-Men:Apocylpse is still dying out for Fox, and should make its total around $160 million domestic. Ninja Turtles also had a harsh decline as well, with more competition on the way the film is dying quickly and might fall short of the first film's 7-day total, and make close to $85 million domestic. Alice 2 once again had so-so to bland drop, and should come close to $80 million.

PG-13 horror makes profit most of the time. But both Lights Out, and Don't Breathe look like potential hits. Lights Out I think has potential to debut like The Visit but will debut like The Gallows most likely. Don't Breathe has potential to debut like The Evil Dead remake, and possibly hold up and lead on Labor Day weekend as well which has happened for horror films in 2012,2009, 2007, 2003, and 2001. Plus Sony does solid marketing on horror films. WB is good withJames Wan.

The BFG:28 million 3-day(33 million 4-day), The Purge:Election Year:19 million 3-day(25 million 4-day), Tarzan:14 million 3-day(17 million 4-day).

Oh no not in quality. I really liked Prometheus, I liked when I saw it in the theater and still do like it I even bought the DVD to have it in my collection and got it real cheap at a garage sale.

45% and falling.

IDR will die off quickly after OW or 4th Of July weekend.

Independence Day 2 is Prometheus(box office wise) all over again.

Independence Day:Resurgance killed Liam Hemsworth's career.

Independence Day: Resurgance is a sequel that wasn't asked for, but was a cash grab for Fox considering that they need more sucessful franchises after X-Men, and Taken.

He's money hungry just like Bruce Willis, and Adam Sandler are today.

ID4 has done this though.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t475kPIEXPg

He's going nuts personal life wise as well especially with the whole Oscar issue earlier this year with him not getting the Oscar for Concussion. I"ll be there to check out Suicide Squad, and Bad Boys 3 but that's it. I still haven't seen Focus but I've heard mixed things about it.

The Shallows beats Independence Day this weekend.

I think watching the audience score for Independence Day drop should more interesting than the movie itself.

I thought he didn't do it because of Suicide Squad? Either way Roland Emmerich's stuff has declined within the 10 year time period. I'm interested in checking out Independence Day:Resurgance but I'm jumping up and down like I did with something Jurassic World for example.

Sony is making a comeback, and of course Blake Lively in a bikini for about 90 minutes

Independence Day's preview number is okay but is going to suffer(its audience score on RT is already at 49%). Solid for The Shallows, should likely do at least $15 million opening weekend and hold up strong. Expected numbers for Free State Of Jones, it should do about between $7-$9 million this weekend which is weak considering its $50 million production budget.

Excellent choice!

Independence Day:Resurgance:48 million, The Shallows: 14 million, Free State Of Jones: 9 million, Neon Demon:1 million.

Great numbers for Dory! Good for the silly Central Intelligence. Should be a solid weekend coming up.

October is going to be crazy

Solid Tuesday numbers.

That's why I think Expendables 4 will do if Stallone is still thinking about it.
