Weekend Estimates: GotG 17.6m | TMNT 16.8m | If I Stay 16.4m | WGST 9.0m | Sin City 6.5m

Sin City 2 was good, my theater had 100 people in it at 1130!

[DeeCee]

Maybe the Sin City style of film was a one and done. Nothing else similar has connected with an audience.

[Jessie]

If GOTG hits 17m this weekend then it should be on around 257m coming up to labour weekend. Last year most films saw à 20% increase over the 4 day weekend. If guardians just stays flat it will be on 275m. It would have to suffer some big drops to miss 300m after that point.

300m for GOTG looking likely? Nice to hear. Wow at Sin City tanking hard. Never expected it to break out, but sub-10m OW? That makes Expendables 3 look like a hit.

Sin City number

Sin City 2 is what we used to call a "Derby killer".

8). The Expendables 3 (LGF), 3,221 theaters (0) / $1.8M to $2M Fri. / 3-day cume: $5.6M to $5.9M (-66%) / Total cume: $26M to $27M / Wk 2

 

LOL

 

 

6). Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (TWC), 2,894 theaters / $2.6M Fri. / $6M to $7M / Wk 1

 

Double LOL

Expendables 3 might not even pass $40m domestic and SC2 might not pass $20m domestic.  The dog days of summer have officially arrived.

That number for Sin City 2 is laughable. The movie looked horrible though so I can't say I'm surprised.

 

Those are some awesomely hefty increases for GOTG and TMNT. Though, because it is Deadline I'm less inclined to believe them. Probably end up a few $100K's short.

Depending on title, they have some numbers higher ($100k to a bit more) than other sources

 

Still way too early for anything too final judgment anyway...

I don't know man. A lot worse looking movies are making a lot more money atm.

[Gopher]

Maybe the don't want to pay 10M more to get if from 295 to 300..

Fairly certain there's a major bump in pay TV rights for every domestic milestone (100, 200, 300, etc). If it's close then they'll get it there. Disney has its ways.

[Feracious]

Lol at Sin City 2. That's what happens when you make a sequel that nobody asked for. 

[theultimatebiu]

Sin City 2 was several years too late. Actually it was really unnecessary.

No aud left for #SinCity2. Opens to weak $2.6M FRI going to wimpy $7M wknd. Only so many sequels needed each summer.

Actually people asked for the sequel 6 years ago.

 

I might see Sin City but I knew this was going to flop but not this bad. Oh well one Comic book movie this summer was going to flop and it was either going to be Turtles or this.

Yeah, a studio will usually push a movie over a certain milestone if it is just a few million away.

Everybody knew this movie was going to flop anyway. So its not really surprising
