Pretty weak Father's Day effect.

 

 

Yeah, what's going on there? I suppose maybe a combination of NBA and World Cup.

[Jack Nevada]

WWZ is good, y'all must be tripping. 

[kitik]

sunday looking like

HTTYD2 13.6,22J 12.9,EOT 5.9,Malef 5.3,DOFP 3.4,FIOS 2.7

 

 

this is what the weekend was estimated at:

 

 

 

1	N	22 Jump Street	Sony	$60,000,000	-	3,306	-	$18,149	$60,000,000	-	1
2	N	How to Train Your Dragon 2	Fox	$50,000,000	-	4,253	-	$11,756	$50,000,000	-	1
3	2	Maleficent	BV	$19,008,000	-44.6%	3,623	-325	$5,246	$163,525,000	$180	3
4	3	Edge of Tomorrow	WB	$16,175,000	-43.8%	3,505	+15	$4,615	$56,649,000	$178	2
5	1	The Fault in our Stars	Fox	$15,725,000	-67.2%	3,273	+100	$4,804	$81,700,000	$12	2
6	4	X-Men: Days of Future Past	Fox	$9,500,000	-37.3%	3,042	-597	$3,123	$205,940,000	$200	4

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this is what Sunday was projected at:

 

 

 

1	1	22 Jump Street	Sony	$16,050,000	-14%	-	3,306	$4,855	$60,000,000	3
2	2	How to Train Your Dragon 2	Fox	$14,325,000	-17%	-	4,253	$3,368	$50,000,000	3
3	3	Maleficent	BV	$5,892,000	-19%	-45%	3,623	$1,626	$163,525,000	17
4	4	Edge of Tomorrow	WB	$5,500,000	-10%	-28%	3,505	$1,569	$56,649,000	10
5	5	The Fault in our Stars	Fox	$3,640,000	-37%	-61%	3,273	$1,112	$81,700,000	10
6	6	X-Men: Days of Future Past	Fox	$3,100,000	-16%	-31%	3,042	$1,019	$205,940,000	24

 

 

 

 

 

 

so the actual weekend should be close to:

 

1. 22 Jump St - 56.9 or 57.0

2. HTTYD2 - 49.3

3. Maleficent - 18.4

4. Edge Of Tomorrow - 16.5

5. Fault In Our Stars - 14.8

6. X-Men DOFP - 9.8

 

 

 

 

Those are some really nice holds for EOT and X-Men.

sunday looking like

HTTYD2 13.6,22J 12.9,EOT 5.9,Malef 5.3,DOFP 3.4,FIOS 2.7

 

So the drops from Saturday look like

 

22 Jump Street    -31%

How to Train Your Dragon 2  -21%

Maleficent  -27%

Edge of Tomorrow   -3%

The Fault in our Stars   -53%

X-Men: Days of Future Past  -8%

 

Looks like if they wanted to bring their father to a movie the choice was EoT or DOFP.  FIOS obviously wasn't a movie that appealed to dad's too much.  

[The Stingray]

Dat Fault drop.

[kitik]

 

Edge of Tomorrow held up decently. Hopefully it will continue to hold up well, although I don't think it's going to have the stamina to top $100 million.

 

 

 

Last weekend there was a legitimate worry that EOT wouldn't even make it up past 80M. now it's a stone cold lock for 90 and it definitely still has a chance at hitting 100.

 

I'm happy.

[Orestes]

Is it weird that we're halfway through summer, and the top two domestic grossers of the year were released in Feb. and April, which also has the biggest OW of the year so far? That it's not impossible for this to remain true until November is even weirder.

Somebody else (I don't remember who)  pointed this out about 100 pages ago, but as of June 15 of last year, only 9 movies had crossed the 100M barrier.

 

 

1	Iron Man 3	BV	$398,505,292	4,253	$409,013,994	97.4%	5/3	9/12

5	The Croods	Fox	$182,460,807	4,065	$187,168,425	97.5%	3/22	9/19
6	The Great Gatsby (2013)	WB	$139,501,163	3,550	$144,840,419	96.3%	5/10	8/22
7	Identity Thief	Uni.	$134,506,920	3,230	$134,506,920	100.0%	2/8	6/6
8	G.I. Joe: Retaliation	Par.	$122,070,811	3,734	$122,523,060	99.6%	3/28	7/18

13	Noah	Par.	$101,157,000	3,571	$43,720,472	3,567	3/28	-

 

 

 

Other than the fact that there isn't one single ginormous movie at the very top, 2014 is probably doing better than 2013.

[Mojoguy]

Yeah, they didn't hold near as well as they wanted too on Sunday. But, I think that could mean a better Monday than normal. Now that the Finals are over.

Shit NBA finals. I don't know why anyone would bother staying home last night just to watch the ass kicking.

[Jack Nevada]

Currently watching Tokyo Story. This is supposed to be pretty good.

Yeh, it's supposed to be a masterpiece or something. But I'd recommend Dark Angel instead, which is about Dolph Lundgren vs. a drug dealer from outer space.

You and your trash movies.

[Deep Wang]

Shit NBA finals. I don't know why anyone would bother staying home last night just to watch the ass kicking.

Well, they didn't know it was going to be an ass kicking, did they? Besides in my neck of the woods, I'm sure they loved that shit. I doubt many went out to watch a movie after they won.

[The Stingray]

You and your trash movies.

 

It's quite enjoyable actually. And did I mention that it's about an intergalactic drug dealer? Arguably my favorite Lundgren flick, alongside Showdown in Little Tokyo.

[stripe]

Still mourning with this weekend numbers. I've lost my faith in humanity. This is the best year in terms of quality blockbuster films but instead of supporting them, GA ingnore them.

 

Ok... From now on, every time someone blame the industry for the lack of quality films, I will remember him about this Summer, full of pretty solid films that underperformed.

Okay, I'll try to check that one out. Just because I like you.

[cory]

GODZ: 9.4M

Oh, and if you're a fan of movies, or life in the general, y'all need to check out Undefeatable!

 

 

 

The crazy f**ker in the lab coat is called The Stingray.

[Webslinger]

Curious that, with the exception of the Wall-E/Wanted weekend, nearly every time an animated movie opens the same week as an R-rated blockbuster, it underperforms. It happened to KFP2, Epic and now HTTYD2. You would think the opposite would be the case, since a) they appeal to different audiences and b ) any kids wanting to sneak into, say, 22JT would most likely buy a ticket for Dragon instead.

 

Don't forget Madagascar 3/Prometheus.

 

As I posted at KJ, I think the big piece here is that Dragon 2's marketing just didn't have that "event" status, not unlike the marketing of Kung Fu Panda 2. There was no clear, appealing hook for audiences, so it just looked like more of the same adventures from the first time around.

 

That said, in the wake of all the gloom and doom, I would love it if Dragon 2 follows in its predecessor's path and silences all of its opening weekend naysayers with a long, leggy run.
