mahnamahna Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 mahnamahna, I'm really curious to hear why you think Pixels is going to have strong late legs. Even if it opens big I don't know if the WOM will be there to sustain small drops. Zero family-friendly competition (Shaun and Underdogs will combine for sub-$50 million DOM IMO) Late August is typically a dead period, which allows the late July/early August tentpoles to hold decently if they're well-liked Pixels looks like a crowd-pleaser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 And then lmao at Straight outta Compton. Laugh all you want... but the buzz for it is huge. If it gets decent reviews, along with Universal's hot streak, a $45-50 million OW isn't that odd, especially since it could be extremely frontloaded. Compton being the highest grossing August release is my bold prediction for the month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahnamahna Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Your OW prediction for Compton isn't ridiculous, but your predicted drops for it definitely are. I just don't think it'll be as front-loaded as some are expecting. Especially with it being the last compelling film for a good month until Black Mass/MR2/Everest. $50 million OW with a 3x-3.5x. Maybe 2x-2.5x if it doesn't get decent reviews. I do think it'll fly past $100 million DOM either way. And my 3rd weekend and Labor Day drops definitely aren't ridiculous. I do agree that 2nd weekend is more like 55-60%, but 40-45% in the 3rd and 10-15% over Labor Day is definitely reasonable. F4 would suck up all the box office mojo left in August. If not that, Rogue Nation will do it. F4 should open to $40 million... assuming a CBM typical 50-55% 2nd weekend drop... by the third weekend of August, F4 will barely be above $10 million. Rogue Nation is also tracking at $40 million, so by the 3rd weekend of August, it should pretty much be sub-$10 million. Pixels' kid appeal gives it the best chance at staying power until Labor Day. I wouldn't be shocked by a $30-35 million OW on its way to a 4x-4.5x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But older teens would be drawn to this but then again, Rogue Nation & F4, being PG13, will be bigger draws than Pixels. Then again, I don't know, Pixels looks very different from other alien invasion movies. The playful tone will surely be a refreshing change for audience who are tired of spies, superheroes, and nefarious plotting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
