Weekend Numbers: GOTG - 94M (PG 180) [25.5M Sunday (Spatula) Cancel the Godzilla legs!]

[Mango]

I agree with you but I though you were like the no. 1 Marvel fan. Shouldn't you be leading the crazy train?

 

That's BKB. 

[filmlover]

$371K is about as much as anyone could've expected from Get on Up. The target audience for it is most definitely not a "Thursday early showing" crowd.

[Chewy]

I hope GotG has an opening > TASM 2 OW so that TASM 2 can have the lowest superhero opening of the year. 

 

Lowest opening and worst legs, the double whammy

[The Futurist]

Also, remember this is the summer of weak legs even for good movies.

[eddyxx]

i give up. Marvel comics rules the world. What a disgrace that number is. Cannot believe that many people like to see this piece of crap looking movie

 

So when will you be giving us your review baumer?

[Orestes]

That's BKB. 

 

BKB was actually hating on this one if I remember right.

[DMan7]

Is it safe to say now that any non Marvel new comic book movie franchise is doomed?

[Eraserhead]

If this movie does 80 m OW, the trades will write about what a huge success it is and rightfully so.

 

This forum will be crying in its collective beer though. WHAT A FLOP! lol.

That's BKB. 

Wait. I thought it was the same guy...

[miketheavenger]

Even if Guardians has the same preview/midnight to OD Ratio than TDKR (which is very unlikely), it will still have a 28m opening day. That would pretty much lock 75m for the weekend.

Eh, only a couple people will. Im not sure anyone seriously expects 100 or whatever.

Cap 2 was also a direct sequel to one movie and a sort-of sequel to another, while also being a sequel in another sense as a new entry in the MCU. Guardians is only a sequel in that loose sense as part of the MCU.

To be fair, the only people going to see this movie's at midnight are the ones who see this as part of the MCU. Cap 2 and GOTG's midnight shows probably attended by the same people.

[filmlover]

I think, considering it is really an original property, legs for Guardians will be actually OK. Especially with how bleak the market looks after its third weekend.

[Chewy]

Wait. I thought it was the same guy...

 

Nope, very different

It's time for a RUNAWAYS movie.Molly Hayes will be HUGE!!!!!

[Mango]

I will not accept anything below $125 million at this point.

[Kalo]

11.2m!! that is incredible! for some reason I had a feeling this might happen.

GOTG: What went Wrong

Even if Guardians has the same preview/midnight to OD Ratio than TDKR (which is very unlikely), it will still have a 28m opening day. That would pretty much lock 75m for the weekend.

 

Yeah, I don't see it being that frontloaded. That would be an insane jump from previous MCU films.

[Jessie]

Very impressive.  Right now Marvel is at a Pixar level when it comes to the box office.

So Disney's marvel is now on par with Disney's Pixar
