Weekend Estimates: The Purge 28.3M | Apes 36M | Sex Tape 15M | Planes 18M | Godzilla 470k +91% 198.9m!!! | More Numbers on Page 1

[Empire]

So now it's officially official with these Apes numbers that there will be no $250M+ grosser this summer (unless Guardians really breaks out but that's unlikely).

It's just crazy to think Cap 2 will stay the biggest movie of the year until November. I thought for sure something this summer would top its gross.

Pu2 11.5-13,Apes 10.2-10.5,Pla2 6-6.5,ST 4.8-5.7,AOE 2.7,Tam 2.1,22J, 1.4,HTTYD2 1.1, ETE 1, Malef 800k,BA 700k

 

That's a good Friday increase for Apes.

I thought Spiderman and Transformers for sure. Was hoping for Xmen.

The fact it and (especially) The LEGO Movie have a legit shot at finishing in the top 5 of the year makes me want to do a happy dance.

Xmen topping Cap is the only option there that wouldn't have been sad.

Well, even if we all missed the boat on this one...a worthy movie still won.Even though it's the second best Chris Evans movie of the year (watch Snowpiercer)

Just saw Apes. Very good, fell just short of great. Koba was a fantastic villain. What kept it from truly soaring were some of the human characters/relationships...I just didn't care.

Watch studios shove more Summer movies in April after seeing CA2's performance.

10.2 + 13.26(+30%) + 9.94(-25%) = 33.4(-54%) looks like the lowish end for apes.

Ouch @ Sex Tape. Weak #s and terrible Cinemascore.

I thought HTTYD2 would. Sadly, it didn't even come close. It should be making so much more than it is.

It's simultaneously crazy and hysterical to think that Captain America 2 won the summer box office...by not participating in the summer box office.

Had Sex Tape been...an actual Cameron Diaz sex tape...would it have done better?Ok, I wouldn't have gone to the theaters for it, but at least I might've wanked to it.

True, everyone was trying to predict the STID of 2014 and nobody thought it'd be Dragon

Well I just figured Spidey and T4 were gonna be big enough. I'm still stunned a spiderman movie barely hit $200m. Will it even make more than Thor 2?

I'm building up the courage to watch it, lol.

Yeah. And it won't work. Just like the movies made May 1st week big, not the other way around, as proven by our friendly neighborhood spiderboy this year.

It shouldn't have been.It was good. I guess JJs STD was good too though, so it's a fair comparison.

It probably would've gotten a lot of horny butts in theater seats.

If interstellar disappoints and nothing breaks out Cap 2 may finish 2nd for the year...
