Weekend Actuals 8/1-8/3 GOTG 94.3m Lucy 18.3m GOU 13.6m

[ecstasy]

I see EoT had a 62% increase. WB is starting to work on the fudge for that one now the Godzilla job is done 

 

I really liked EoT but that thing was a hard sell from the beginning. I think it will cross that $100m.

[John Marston]

Yeah we put a lot of emphasis on legs but in the end money is money. Godzilla made a lot of it.

 

 

yeah agreed, in the end it has made money. Though a sequel might have some problems

[Chewy]

So Godzilla comes in at #13

HTTYD2 finally ahead of 22JS

[ecstasy]

Yeah there is that possibility but it could also turn out like Purge 2.

[John Marston]

HTTYD2 finally ahead of 22JS

 

 

again, not a real accomplishment.

Of course none of those above it opened to 90m + so 13 is underselling it's achievement.

 

To put it in recent perspective it took Godzilla 21 days longer to make it $200m than ASM2.

That's an odd thing to keep track of. Too many variables with the movies on that list. Especially the ones that opened in the 80s and 90s. A lot of those had super low opening weekends (which was the norm) and legged their way to $200m.

It will yeah, and it is good to see it passing the mark. It was a great movie, IMO.

I can see it being another Wrath of the Titans.

#1 Back to the Future opened to $11m.  That's why I think the list, the way it's constructed is odd.

And 35 days longer than Thor 2

[mrules14]

HTTYD2 finally ahead of 22JS

 

And Maleficent ahead of them both.

[miketheavenger]

I can see it being another Wrath of the Titans. 

I think Pacific Rim 2 is more likely to be that, to be honest.

[ecstasy]

And 35 days longer than Thor 2

 

And I thought Thor 2 struggled to get to $200m.

[jj99]

again, not a real accomplishment. 

I'm fully aware. Just something people have been discussing over the weeks.

[John Marston]

if anything Dragon 2 should have held a lot better considering it is a kids film and getting good reviews.

[CJohn]

I think Pacific Rim 2 is more likely to be that, to be honest.

Pacific Rim 2 is gonna be fine. It will gross 250M in China.

[ecstasy]

This thread is pretty subdued. I guess the weekend watch took a lot out of everybody.

[John Marston]

Pacific Rim 2 is gonna be fine. It will gross 250M in China.

 

and about 60m domestic. I can see China accounting for the vast majority of worldwide gross.

[CJohn]

and about 60m domestic. I can see China accounting for the vast majority of worldwide gross.

I can see it grossing more if there is no competition in that April. Something like 33/75.
