Friday Box Office: #2 holdover 'Godzilla' (Legendary/WB - 3952 runs) slips -77% for $8M targeting $41M four-day Mem Wkd. Cume $158M

 

Stop the bleeding!

Don't underestimate the Disney/Marvel juggernaut however. They were able to get Star Wars rights. Let me repeat that again, they were able to get Star Wars rights.

There's a difference between a dormant franchise and an active one. And they had to buy the company. So unless you're saying they'll buy Sony....

8M for Godzilla...Ok something is up with moviegoing today...I don't care how many people disliked Godzilla, there is no good reason for a drop like that.

OMG, now the real meltdown coming? With everything keep being revised down, I wonder if this is the case across the board? Are all holdovers doing weaker than expected too?

8 + 12 + 10 + 8.5 = 38.5 4-day?

If Disney ends up buying Columbia Pictures, that would be quite the twist.

So you guys think this thing can increase tomorrow? Fast 6 essentially stayed flat taking out previews from Fri-Sat and that franchise is notoriously frontloaded just like X-Men.

Holy shit Godzilla is getting rocked this weekend. Hopefully ASM2 is as well.

[Mulder]

Wow everything's dropping. Those late night shows must not be doing a lot.

[grim22]

So with 36M OD, what's the likely 3-day range?

 

94-98M. If Saturday bump from Friday minus midnights is 10% or less, then 94, 18% or more, then 98. Somehow miraculously it gets a 25% bump and gets 35M tomorrow, then it will hit 100M.

Godzilla's BO this weekend makes me sad.

while I didn't care for Godzilla, I feel kind of bad for it, that drop almost more harsh than it deserves.

 Terrible. It may not top $210m now.

 

 

Thank god Hannibal has saved my weekend.

Spider-Man is one of the crown jewels of Marvel comics, one of the most popular superheroes worldwide. Yes I can see Disney/Marvel having enough balls to actually buy out Sony Pictures, or a chunk of Sony Pictures, just to get Spider-Man rights back in-house.

Or its that many people wanted to watch DOFP.  That could be a good reason.  Not hating Godzilla, just loving DOFP.

RIP Godzilla. -70% drop for the 3-day. Might just barely get over 200 a la ASM2.

West Coast, what are you doing?

Well I'm on this forum and watching Stargate on Netflix so I'm not contributing much right now

[Dementeleus]

GODZILLA could never make another penny and still be a hugely successful franchise re-starter. While the drops may be bigger than initially expected, so was the opening. It all balances out.
