Today, #Maleficent will pass #XMen DOFP to become 2nd biggest domestic hit of summer trailing just #Transformers.

7/26/14, 7:59 AM

 

Gotta hail the Queen.

That's a poor Friday increase for La Dame though

 

Hope she recovers her legs today.

Even with this summer being as "meh" as it is overall, Maleficent taking #2 of the season is pretty damn impressive. Well done.

 

Impressive? Bayformers and Maleficent winning is everything wrong with the summer.

 

Apes, Dragon and X-men should be on top.

^Yes, because you get to decide what people wants to see right?

[Dementeleus]

Wait, how did DRAGON 2 drop on a Friday? WTF...

[warfreakbix]

I don't really know what's happening with Dragon 2, friends said it left them cold, what the flying fuck.

[TalismanRing]

Wait, how did DRAGON 2 drop on a Friday? WTF...

 

A 37% loss of  theaters

It lost over 800 theaters?

How to train your flop..........

[The Futurist]

Katzenberg will soon be in trouble if none of his next films break out.

[Dementeleus]

A 37% loss of  theaters

 

And yet, almost every film that loses that amount (or greater!) every weekend somehow manage to still increase on Fridays.

Yess....and HOME looks pretty bad.

No, quality should decide what people want to see.

 

If it did, Hollywood would make better and better movies.

 

The worst movies making the most money sends a bad message.

 

We'll pay for it later.

Oh god, not this again.

Who decides what "quality" is?

[Blackout]

Dragons still has a 3.32 multiplier so I guess it's not super bad.

 

 

But still.

Children movies have inflated weekdays.  Last Friday it only had a 21% bump when other movies were doing 50-80%

[warfreakbix]

How can you say that, when we had better movies this summer than last? How are we paying exactly?

[grey ghost]

Who decides what "quality" is?

 

Not Michael Bay fans. 

[Heat Vision]

Dragon 2 didn't deserve these numbers. Planes on the other hand.....
