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

[Orestes]

I like that 2014 stat. Might finish the year with 7 or 8.

 

I'd think 7 is a sure thing.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

My favorite bit is still this

 

 

All the minor rewrites going uncredited saves K/O's dignity, I guess

 

 

I can't believe that I sat through an entire wall of text, as well as the entire board of directors of Marvel Studios to see (MAJOR GOTG spoiler ahead)

Howard the freaking Duck

and I still didn't see all who worked on the film.

Before 2014 we had 7 $90mers of all time. And then 2014 adds 6 just like that. So far. We should be proud of that.

I still have no idea how to get into the WGA. Its not beginner friendly. Edited August 3, 2014 by Jandrew

The Sat number may go down. To 29M or something. We don't know. It may have a bigger than expected drop on Monday. Wolverine dropped 61% last Summer. 

Wolverine was shit though.

Anyone think this can pull off a SUPER Sunday hold? It would get it over 100M.

It would need the Father's Day MOS hold on Sunday ... since no holiday, no .05% decreases ... no 100 million.

 

Just beating Captain America 2 would be incredible.  Never would have fathomed that back in April.

Sorry I don't see it

That would be a 10% drop from the highest possible Saturday, so highly unlikely.

GOTG 31-32.8,Lucy 6-7,GOU 5-6,Herc 3.5,Apes/herc 3.5

 

Awesome. Marvel's Saturday bump in full effect. 

 

37.8M

32.8M

25M

 

95.6M 2nd biggest OW of the year

[The Panda]

That Saturday bump though. (I thought I was overestimating when I predicted a 30m Saturday)

Don't worry about it, put your head down, and write.

Besides, I'd rather it be one of the highest grossing 90m openers than one of the lowest grossing 100m openers (although getting above Trans4mers wouldn't be to hard on that).

[zackzack]

Number of films opening higher 90m

 

2011, 4

2012, 4

2013, 4

2014, 6 already

 

I like that 2014 stat. Might finish the year with 7 or 8.

 

Mockingjay is 1. Hobbit 3 is a coin toss

[zackzack]

With 32M Saturday the OW should be 96-97M.... . Crazy.

 

Those are poor jumps for Lucy and specially Hercules. Lucy seems like a Friday movie, but Hercules should increase like 35-40%...

 

Not a surprise for Lucy. The fact that this movie is earning this much is beguiling to many.

Maybe GA really wants that Black Widow movie?

Don't worry about it, put your head down, and write.

 

If Saturday number doesn't drop, you're screwed.      

[Dementeleus]

If Saturday number doesn't drop, you're screwed.  

I made my peace with it yesterday afternoon.

You never learned to mind your surroundings

What's the consensus on the Saturday number for Guardians?

What's the consensus on the Saturday number for Guardians?

 

It's outstanding!
