Wed Estimates (spatula) Apes (3.9), Pur (2.57), Planes (2.08), Sex (1.51), T4 (1.18)

Apes is headed for another nice weekend and TF4 may challenge Cap2 for biggest movie of the year domestically. 

 

TF4 is losing 23% of it's theaters this w/e and even with a good PTA hold will probably drop to around $5m and be around $237m after the w/e. I don't see it doing another $22m+ after that to challenge CA2 (which made $5.75m in it's 6th w/e for a $245m total)

Brings TF4 up and over $230m+ US domestic now.

How much past $250m will it go, can it go? 

 

I don't know.  I still think it's gonna end up around 245.  Which is still better than the 235 I thought it was heading after the 3rd weekend

WTF @ Lego

[Captain Craig]

LEGO....the unintentional humor continues from WB. 

[TServo2049]

Interesting to note that How to Train Your Dragon 2 is in over twice as many theaters on its 7th weekend as Kung Fu Panda 2 was in on its 7th. HTTYD2 has 1,538; KFP2 was down to 650.And the DUFE count makes me wonder - how many other movies have lost over 1,000 locations two weeks in a row?

It had a horrible theater average last week, and yet it doesn't lose a single theater. Go figure.

As I said before, DUFE has had two consecutive losses of 1000+ locations.

Still interesting how many there were in 2013, 2011, and 2005. There have been more in recent years, so I expect a couple more before the year is out.

That's a hefty theater count for Hercules. Gonna be a lot of empty ones.

Hopefully Zack Ryder will be there to fill us in like he did with Sex Tape as well as to support his coworker.

Someone who's on twitter needs to ask him to post pictures from the theater this weekend again.

Yay, Transformers is the top movie of the summer!

[Noctis]

I love that Lego and Captain America are going to trump all the summer movies. Winter will be really great, though. Mockingjay, Interstellar, Big Hero 6, and La Dame.

The top 10 grossing movies at the U.S. box office so far this year have an average RT score of 74%.  Movies 11-20 have an average RT score of 62%.  Movies 21-30 have an average RT score of 35%.  Now I know that the 35% average for movies 21-30 will rise a little bit as the year goes on because of the fall Oscar dramas, but these are still insightful figures.  I don't want to hear any more trash-talking from people who say that critics reviews don't matter at all.

Here's a great quote from a Madonna song, and it fits for a lot of the posters here, especially Ando
