What's Amityville tracking at guys? Haven't heard much about that one.

Fantastic number, really nice increase.

So without spoilers to those who have seen both, which is worse TF2 or TF5? I find it hard to believe a movie can be worse than that POS.

I disagree...I don't think it looks like an A+ comedy, but it has a timely hook that a lot of people could find really funny (if done well). I mean, how many people have thought "how the heck am I gonna pay for my kids' college...I'm gonna need to rob a bank/sell my kidneys/mortgage the house/etc...but I can't disappoint Johnny/Janie after all the work they've put in?" It's a really great concept to start from...
As I mentioned on the Rough Night thread, your comedy usually needs to be relatable in some way for people to be able to find it funny - this hits the 1st big check point. The concept and the characters are both relatable. So, I'm not gonna predict this will bomb...not until people actually see it and see if it's Daddy's Home 2.5 (sorry, I thought this concept should have been funny, but it just really wasn't) or Anchorman:TLORB (which was hilarious:)...
EDIT: Although, interesting, both of my listed movies made box office, but I didn't have another Farrell movie I hated to compare, although there are 1-2 I've missed:)...
It's such a played concept, been done by so many TV shows and movies. Add that the jokes sound flat, IMO it looks terrible and the fact that they aren't giving it to critics ahead of time is major red flag.

GOT isn't screening for critics either

(side note: The House looks like one of the worst comedies I've ever seen from a big studio. Bland and uninteresting.

DM3 will easily be top ten all time theater count, of all the movies in that club only one missed $300m and that was Shrek 4 which adjusts to $265m. I just don't see it happening.

On a long enough timeline, parent's patience towards the Minions drop to zero.
I get it, it's like kids and the Frozen song after being repeated for the millionth time. LET IT GO.-

It will be interesting if there's Minion fatigue. This is their fourth outing.
Agreed, I'm not a huge fan myself but the numbers have been strong in the previous two and the spin off. Maybe a small decline but the schedule is clear for them with Cars and Transformers doing so crappy. Spidey will have some impact but the former doing so poorly will probably balance that out.

I don't really get the pessimism due to that pretty damn good Minions performance. Reviews are solid, why is it going to drop significantly?

I'm not sensing much buzz.
It'll come in way below Minions for sure with normal legs for an animated kids movie.
Sensing buzz for an animated family franchise film?

I think DM3 is going to be a huge hit. It's setup to do very well domestically.

People have gotten tired of Cars and Transformers, but the Minions? Hmmmmm.

BOT + $1000
Lol I'm even more confident @baumer is donating that $100 now than last week. Offer is on the table for anyone wants the 10-1 and do it privately.

If Wonder Woman is on Pace right now to do 26 million then once all the numbers are cleared and every cent is counted it will probably end up closer to 27.
Or they could be wrong and it will be lower

I did see that. It seems crazy high... I don't see how it can possibly get into that range unless it either has a really abnormal Friday jump (abnormal for the end of June) or it stays almost flat on Sunday, or both.
I think there is sometimes this misconception that people will just decide to go the movies anyways and shift their business to stronger performers because a specific tentpole sucks (in this case TF5). It doesn't always work like that, this weekend could be pretty ugly as far as holds go especially given the tough comps from last weekend.

I don't think it gets close to 30m. We'll see. [emoji4]
Did you see BO.com had a prediction of $28.9m (I think it was on Monday though)? Seems absurdly high to me. -
It's a review aggregator; the ship has already long sailed on your whole "lazy" point from the moment RT came into existence and became popular. We all know anyone could actually just google each of their favorite critics reviews if they wanted to but the whole point of an aggregator is to make things easier, faster and more dynamic in an age where that's what most people want. Well, that and shiny numbers. But yeah, I'm glad you get my overall point.
I think the issue with RT is the same thing that makes it great to me personally. I personally am OK with a ranking system that's basically a compilation of "hot or not." If you want to check out the level of quality it's not a great choice and Metacritic is much better.-

Oh I have no idea, it's just that once you start hearing studios talking about its impact on trades the whole "where there's smoke there's fire" scenario starts to play out in my head.
The only thing I'd love for them to do is to make it easier for people to check the consensus among their favorite critics, I think that would make a lot of sense as a next step to make it more user-friendly but I imagine that's no what the studios have in mind for it. As i said, I have no idea.
How lazy are we getting where it's difficult to find your favorite critics opinion? I get the point behind aggregating your own RT score but it's not going to change the issues people have with the "good or not" choice. -

It's not really a healthy number. Just because one moving is tanking pretty badly doesn't mean the other one isn't still tanking as well
In fairness, both of these movies are OS plays at this point (& were the major reason they were given the green lights).

Shia will hopefully get a bit of a chuckle out of this.

A B+ cinemascore probably would have been the equivalent of a C- for me in high school.
D right here lol.-

WW won't get IMAX back. Their grosses next weekend will be close, but Transformers can still push the FILMED IN IMAX 3D ploy.
Agreed, it's holding well but let's not kid ourselves it's in the $20m range now (and that's not even for next weekend which will obviously be lower). It's a bit too late to be putting in back in IMAX. -
Days until $7.7m (adjusted) or lower...
TF1: 14
TF2: 13
TF3: 13
TF4: 11
TF5: 2
