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

[CJohn]

GOTG won't win this coming weekend let alone 4 weeks down the road.  

Lets see. I honestly believe it may win 6 weekends in a row, losing the 7th to Dolphin Tale 2 or something. But if it loses one, it will definitely be the next one against TMNT.

[baumer]

I'm not convinced that TMNT won't flop.

 

I think it will do well.  I hear a lot of kids saying how much they want to see it.

[cory]

Going to be a tight race for #1 the weekend EX3 comes out.

I think TMNT will beat it by at least $5m next weekend.

No way dude.  It's not going to have 35-40% drops every week.  It'll perform like a typical blockbuster.  Fast out of the gate and then fade for a few weeks and then get decent late legs.

Agreed and as bad as September looks to me, I don't think Guardians will get through August as the number one movie for every weekend so it won't matter

[eXtacy]

This weekend has been very unusual so Sundays drop should give us a much better view of where this is heading next weekend and overall

I applied a CA2 type of run.

Well, 58% drop for an original film in the summer, is hardly a good drop, but a lot of people here were expecting something massive, so 58% looks good in retrospect.

But a lot of people predicted 65%-70% drop last week. Hercules seems to suffer that kind of drop but not Lucy even though the former has had similar to better reception.

Doesn't matter what anyone believes.  That's the number that is reported and that's the number that is going to be out there for the rest of eternity. 

 

You are so anti-GOTG it's funny.

I am glad I am busy for most of August and September. I feel like I won't be missing out any movie.

[baumer]

If I had to guess, I'd say GOTG next three weekends will look like this:

 

Coming off a 96 mill weekend: 42M (-56%)...TMNT goes for a similar audience

Third weekend:  25 mill (-40%)

Fourth weekend:  16.5 mill (-35%)

 

If it's winning weekend 4 with 16 mill, I'd be shocked.

[Alpha]

GOTG could possibly win next weekend, but I think EX3 going to open in first on it's third weekend. But it could win it's fourth weekend, SC2 being the only threat.

[baumer]

What's the official number for Transformers?

 

It has nothing to do with me not liking the movie.  I've done nothing but express my shock and sing praise at how big the OW is.

It'd be sad if The Expendables 3 couldn't win that weekend. That movie deserves at least some decent opening.

Actually, there's a fair chance it could win next weekend as well.

 

Agreed there is a chance.

I will see a couple more on August, but totally agree about September.  I don't think I will see one new release that whole month

I don't think I will see anything in August or September.

The Equalizer looks good.

[darkelf]

I have no desire to see anything until Interstellar. Well, depending on when Gone Girl opens here.
