And look for Disney to get more in the billion dollar club next year

Except Godzilla didn't face 2 movies that grossed 150M combined. Godzilla should have dropped a lot softer this weekend.

 

 

What I meant more its a film that was massively hyped but ended up being very divisive amoung audiences. 

[#ED]

No film is touching Frozen WW this year either, next year obviously there is one film that can,

TF4 is going to blow up big in some countries. It could happen.

[babz06]

Frozen is having an amazing run for  being such a mediocre film. Not much difference between it and Tangled. Perfect storm.

[baumer]

lol, you're really having fun with the demise of Godzilla.   

 

There hasn't been a blockbuster I have despised more than Godzilla since maybe HBP or the first Hobbit.

I feel like singing the Pharrel song Happyness now.

Next weekend should be pretty strong for the last weekend of May, because I fully expect Maleficent to overperform hugely (50+) and DOFP to hold well. Maleficent has alot of buzz around me and the Disney fiends are going to rush out in storm- it looks like the worst movie of the summer to me, but hey, always good to have hits. Anyone have tracking for it?

[baumer]

lol the funniest scene in the movie I guess

 

Hmmm...but there was no bodily fluids flying around, it was just spoken about.

the only truly great HP movie I love is the first one.

[Dementeleus]

Dat Summer Game effect :ph34r:Fuck Universal for moving Lucy to July 25.

LUCY's not gonna break out.

Excellent. I said for the BSG that a film would drop under 25% this week and MDA came through.

 

Of course Chef also had a big increase but that's besides the point.

 

 

Good call.  

So Memorial Day weekend is supposed to soften drops...Who knows what Godzilla's 2nd weekend drop would have been on any other weekend?

 

69-70%.

I have seen Godzilla now and feel like they could have done a little better.

It was kinda of slow and there was like only on true fight with the monsters.

It was a tad bit disappointing. I would give it B-.

Even tracking was way off saying 125m 4 day

the most recent tracking was north 100m 4-Day

"For the four-day weekend, the film is on pace to earn north of $100 million and could even hit $110 million, according to pre-release tracking."

Why should it?  X-men WW grosses have always been in the 400's so why SHOULD X-men be beating Captain?

 

Well Cap 1 made $370m worldwide with 3d. I think $700m worldwide was said by no one. 

[baumer]

Except Godzilla didn't face 2 movies that grossed 150M combined. Godzilla should have dropped a lot softer this weekend.

 

There's always competition in the summer.  You talk about competition like the studios don't know what's opening up the week after.  Godzilla wouldn't have made any more or less than what it is right now, no matter time of year it opened.  

[Jay Beezy]

I actually just got back from Blended. Will probably hold ok as it's definitely not a terrible movie by Sandler standards. Probably have half decent wom. I mean, it's rubbish, but quite sweet and there's a good few laughs in it.I had it opening wayyyy bigger than it has. Strange that the marketing didn't connect with its audience this time around. You just never know with a Sandler movie how it's going to play.

 

Between Maleficent taking the family audience and A Million Ways to Die in the West being the new comedy, don't see how it holds all that well.

 

By next year, anyone who remembers Blended will look back on it and say it was just as bad as his other recent fare.
