Weekend Numbers...pg 29 (Lucy 44M, Herc 29...big drops for most holdovers)

[John Marston]

I don't think Lucy will make 100m. Apparently the movie is very different than how it was marketed. Not to mention lots of competition coming. Still apparently the budget is small so it will make some profit.

Get dat money ScarJo! Lady-in-Waiting to Dame Jolie's action throne.

Hercules is basically the test of The Rock's drawing power. It is literally being sold just on his name.

Terrific for Lucy ($30M+ is guaranteed now) and not bad for Hercules either all things considered. Even if it doesn't become a big hit, it won't be the big flop most thought it would be heading into the weekend. Looks like this summer is gonna go without a single big megabomb (you got lucky there, Jupiter Ascending).

I'm been saying from the beginning.  "Scorpion King" might be a great model for "Hercules":

I think Lucy looks terrible, but I am rooting for it because it is kind of a litmus test for a black widow film and, more importantly, there are not enough female driven action films and films in general.

[Fancyarcher]

Seems like decent numbers for both.

Expendables 3 was leaked three weeks before release? Movie studios, protect your shit better.

Yeah, that's definitely gonna hurt it.

[Heat Vision]

Awesome. Hopefully they don't do another one.

When movies release early internationally, their pirated print becomes available. Ex3 being leaked is sort of like that, but it will definitely be hurt. 3 weeks is a long time.

It's not opening early anywhere that I see listed.

Yeah. I was just comparing being leaked because of studio negligence, etc. vs being leaked because of an early international release. Studios still go for early internatinoal releases even though the movie becomes available in pirated form. So am questioning how much will the leaked version really affect the numbers. Cause if it has a big negative impact, then why do studios still go for early releases.
