Yeah I'm feeling around a 52-55M 2nd weekend right now.
Low: 15-20-14 = 49 (-53%)
Older skewing: 16-21-15 = 52 (-49%)
Younger skewing: 16-23-15 = 54 (-47%)
Still thinking 301-304M total. 3.0X is not in play yet.
Yeah Lionsgate probably netted a decent payday from this because of their financing model and DOM performance, but they would have to put up a much larger % of the budget for a sequel since intl markets didn't respond to PR. If they budgeted it for a 60/35 theatrical maybe it could work.
Nah, Spider-Man is the only traditional entry, and then it's a 5 month gap until Ragnarok and JL.
We saw Apoc suffer last year because it followed 2 traditional CMBs.
Next year however, will be the true test.
I've seen the following SH movies in theaters:
Batman Forever
X2
Spider-Man 2
Batman Begins
X-Men The Last Stand
Spider-Man 3 (Midnight)
Iron Man
The Incredible Hulk
The Dark Knight
Watchmen
Iron Man 2
X-Men First Class
Captain America
John Carter
The Avengers
The Dark Knight Rises (Midnight)
The Amazing Spider-Man
Iron Man 3
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Guardians of the Galaxy
Age of Ultron
Civil War
Doctor Strange
Power Rangers
Guardians 2
Wonder Woman
Hmm, I was hoping PR would hold a little better. I think the problem is that it's too slow and interpersonal to be a kids movie, but it gets too silly at times to attract a general audience. I'd like to see a sequel, if only to see the characters again.
