67% weekend drop. That's Twilight sequel level second weekend drop!

Are you surprised by this?  They have an almost identical fan base.  I was honestly expecting closer to 70-75%, so 65% wouldn't be that terrible relatively speaking.

[BadAtGender]

It's looking like a very real chance that HTTYD2 will come in under LEGO's total. Who'd have predicted that six months ago?

 

[ACSlater]

Definitely.

 

Cool...not bad for a 12M film...

LEGO fans?

[kayumanggi]

If the films are of such great quality and appealing then they would be doing better at the box office.

 

The arguement is that they are more appealing and well liked to certain audience groups/fans only. 

 

Did I say appealing? Many summer movies in the past were shit and still made money. You can't generally equate

quality to big box office numbers and shittiness to terrible box office numbers. I was just talking about the quality of the films this summer. Not box office numbers. I should have said 'imo.' My apologies.

Nobody?

[The Dark Alfred]

Father's Day should help EoT to have a good Sunday hold and should have a decent third weekend as well which could put the film on the 100m track.

Did I say appealing?

 

 

No but as a fan of box office I like to some big openings and numbers or at least some legs.

Holy smokes you didn't just use the "Bad box office=bad movie" argument did you? 

[bballman24]

 

Hopefully even better number for EoT

I did. 

 

Just because you have the prediction skills of a toddler doesn't mean I do. 

[druv10]

I wouldn't count on great legs for HTTYD2 like the original. So far, we've yet to have a leggy movie all summer and it wouldn't shock me if we don't have one all summer.

And TASM2. And Godzilla. And Days of Future Past. Hell, Transformers could be the only film to beat its total this summer.

No it simply means boring summer for box office point of view for the domestic market. 

 

Simple as that

 

I am a fan of movies but I like to more follow box office. 

 

Last year while some films were not good was far more interesting from a box office point of view.

Eh I think people are underestimating how huge HTTYD2's legs will be.

[Noctis]

It would be glorious if TF4 did $255m. I'd wear a bikini and post it on here. 

 

And don't fucking deny that wearing a bikini on a hairy chest isn't sexy. 

[kayumanggi]

I understand that. And it's a shame that the general auds have not given these amazing movies great numbers. Like, what are these people watching? I won't even say they are not appealing, because they are.

[Mojoguy]

And TASM2. And Godzilla. And Days of Future Past. Hell, Transformers could be the only film to beat its total this summer. 

And Cap 2 will come under LEGO's total... which I hope won't happen.

Noctis is going to beat you down over your sig.
