Weekend Est: 22JUMP 60.0M| HTTYD2 50.0M|Male 19.0M|EOT 16.1M|Fault 15.7M|DOFP 9.5M

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.

Except Dragon 2 will drop 40-50% on its second weekend like all the other June animated movies.

Holy crap, Maleficent had a -8% drop at the Finnish box office. 

[baumer]

Its really disappointing to see Fault drop so hard. I guess its got its hardcore fans and unfortunately it hasn't broken past that. Too bad because its such an honest film. Theres so much beauty in it. I guess it will sneak past 100 but not much more.

HTTYD2 will drop under 40%.

[Mojoguy]

HTTYD2 will drop under 40%.

I predict a 40-50% drop for Dragon 2.

I really don't think it's a terrible drop for Fault. weren't people expecting Fault to drop off the face of the earth? like a 70-80% drop?

The movie only dropped 54% on saturday, I say that's a good drop for this type of film

[filmlover]

Yeah, Fault's drop this weekend was pretty much expected. It should stabilize from here on out though, since there isn't really any competition for its target audience for a while (Think Like a Man will appeal to a niche audience and Tammy is rated R so I doubt they will hurt it).

With Rth's Sunday numbers, Fault essentially did drop like 70%.

[baumer]

that's also a massive overestimation for 22 Jump Street. The sunday numbers are little bit surprising. A minute

Well, I thought it could potentially be super leggy film like The Blind Side or something

[Captain Craig]

With XM:DOFP the official summer leader and over $200m what else can cross?

Looks like Godzilla sitting at $191m will as will TASM2 sitting at $198m, however can Godzilla beat Spidey there?

Maleficent, is that still a question mark, at $163m? It's drops seems to indicate that it has the steam to still do it, yes?

 

Better question---how long does CA:TWS remain the largest grossing live action, if not out right, film of 2014?

Another few weeks? Very impressive for the Captain.

And how much did Dragon fans overestimate HTTYD2 before that movie even came out? 80-100M OW. It'll be lucky to open with half of that. Looks to me like Dragon 2 came out the bigger loser this weekend.

Apart from being great, I think the release date helped a lot.

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.

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

 

It was me sir. Ha ha.

Amazing for EOT and X-M: DOFP! Woohoo!
