I am mourning the national team right now. Can't say much more because of the spoilers thing.

Oh, right, I almost forgot.

 

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[ecstasy]

I know most of it is the movies, but still it feels more like March than June. That sucks. I love when we have everyone and their mom logged on and posting, afternoon, evening, and night, feels like one big party.

 

Well people are here for the box office if not for anything else it was for their most anticipated summer movie. There were a lot of disappointments for a lot of people. Think about it. No movie has opened to $100m. Even with the 90m + openers 2 will be barely scrape by $200m. Then HTTYD which seemed to be highly anticipated, barely opened higher than the last one.  There have been no box office break outs so far.

last year's summer top 6 was:

 

1. IM3 - 409M

2. DM2 - 368M

3. MOS - 291M

4. MU - 268M

5. F&F6 - 238M

6. STID - 228M

 

Good times indeed. This summer sucks compared to that. This year so far sucks compared to that, the top grossing movie this year so far will be #5 on that list.

Not exactly a Father's Day movie.  Monday #s will probably have a better hold in comparison

 

 

common sense says an awful Sunday drop for TFIOS should lead to a good Monday hold

[John Marston]

so Dragon is the animated version of STID

[Mulder]

HTTYD2 nearly made 50.

Well, Neighbors sort of did (on its opening weekend at least). And to a lesser extent The Fault In Our Stars but I think everyone was expecting big things for that by the time opening weekend came.

HTTYD2 nearly made 50.

 

 

whoa what a huge accomplishment. I guess should be impressed by that especially since everyone was predicting 70M+

how the hell did the first Dragon have a better Sunday hold in March

Did I say that? Oh wait I didn't. So go shove it.

And the Captain moves into the lead which should last til Mon #s

 

 

 

I'd be pretty surprised if WB didn't dig up an extra $7K for Lego over the weekend somewhere.

[a2k]

Like with Rio2, do we have any comment on the weather from Fox?

Yeah but I meant some big surprises like WWZ's opening last year.

Average prediction for Neighbors was 135-140. It's going to come in slightly above that, but I sure wouldn't call it a breakout.

 

Average prediction for TFIOS was 125-130. It's actually going to come in below that, so no way in hell can you call it a break out.
