We have way too many pinned topics. Takes up all the space.

I genuinely did not expect Horrible Bosses 2 to totally bomb like it just did.

[Bastien]

Really curious how Interstellar held overseas again.

 

It will end exceed the billion!

Agreed! And most of them are a waste of space anyway.

Completely agree.

100% yes. I can think of at least five of them that don't need to be there.

I think GOTG fans can start to party.

Except for the fact that they tend to make studio's a lot of money

Do they make a ton of money on average?  I averaged the 15 comedies this year (impossible to define comedy, but I took a stab at the ones most would define comedy).  22 Jump Street, Neighbors, Ride Along, Tammy, Dumb and Dumber 2, The Other Woman, Let's Be Cops, Horrible Bosses 2, Alexander and the Terrible, Think Like a Man 2, Blended, Million Ways, Sex Tape, That Awkward Moment, Haunted House 2.

 

Average domestic total for these 15 comedies is 79 million. If you remove the highest one (22 Jump) and the lowest one (Haunted House 2) the average is only 75 million.  The average RT score for the comedies this year is only 33%.  That's a horrible average score for 15 movies.

 

Is 75 domestic on a budget of 40 million a ton of money?  Is 33% on Rotten Tomatoes a good number to aspire for?  I don't think so.

Wait what's with the thread title? 18.77M fo BH6. WHAT. I thought it was guaranteed for 19M given the friday numbers. Did it crash and burn after that?! Urgh I hate it.

GOTG still making decent money. GG over 160 million

[Wadey Wilsoney]

That Guardians PTA is pretty impressive

[wileECoyote]

-6.7% is hardly a crash and burn.  It's fine and if estimates are accurate, it held better than WiR.  And Penguins had little to no effect.  

 

Penguins btw was boring...almost fell asleep.  SW7 trailer though gave me goosebumps

I can't argue about the RT score but i think that putting all those movies together just because they are comedies is not a great example (some are sequels, some are R-rated, some are pg-13 and even pg).

On the ther other hand as far as BO goes the average domestic total for those 15 films is 79m as you said but on a 29m budget give or take. That's a solid result and for some reason we don't even include overseas numbers.

You really need to just give it up already.

Yes agree.

I think 4-5 could easily be removed.

Whiplash isn't doing so great, is it?

Whiplash isn't doing so great, is it?

It's doing fine, I think. It wasn't exactly an easy sell.

Congrats to GOTG. It has surpassed SM1's 3.515 multiplier. It now is the leggiest modern SH movie.
