Great for PP2 and MM, love this weekend!

[Lordmandeep]

I think its official now..

 

 

 

FAST 7 will BEAT AOU WW

 

 

Biggest Box office Upset since TA beat TDKR domestically. 

[Deep Wang]

lol and there were people saying Fury Road would be a female appealing movie. 

 

It appealed more to females than PP2 appealed to males.

[TalismanRing]

I have a feeling that MM could have been way bigger without PP stealing the female audience..

 

I sincerely doubt either was stealing the other's audience.  PP2's biggest affect was on Hot Pursuit.

Of course, Star Wars Episode VII has a fairly decent chance of upsetting Furious 7.. if Star Wars doing $1.5 billion+ WW can really be considered an upset

Just like Edge of Tomorrow and Kingsman?

[wildphantom]

When's the review embargo up for Tomorrowland? Surely today? They need to really rev the buzz up this week

[The Futurist]

I'm surprised MM held as well as it did during the weekend. Maybe it's not too weird for a GA. And hopefully Charlize brings in more women. 

FURY ROAD -  Males (70%), 35+ (54%) 3D (46%)

 

 

Variety:  80% of Pitch Perfect 2 audience is female

 

Hope ...

I think it depends on domestic. It would not be.

 

 

However Torreto beating IM and company WW is a big upset. 

[The Futurist]

FF7 has a legitimate chance to remain 2015 number one WW, whatever the BB8 fans may say.

[Ethan Hunt]

It appealed more to females than PP2 appealed to males.

I know a lot of guys who really like the first Pitch Perfect and think it's really funny ak I wouldn't be so sure about that

[Chewy]

It appealed more to females than PP2 appealed to males.

 

20% of 70 > 30% of 44 

[John Marston]

FF7 will be AOU and could potentially beat SW7 too. Overseas audiences went crazy for it. I don't get it. 

[TalismanRing]

I think it depends on domestic. It would not be.

 

 

However Torreto beating IM and company WW is a big upset. 

 

Only because The Avengers cast selfishly refused to have at least one of them die.

[Asyulus]

Agreed.

[Lordmandeep]

FF7 will be AOU and could potentially beat SW7 too. Overseas audiences went crazy for it. I don't get it. 

 

 

Still made 460 million back in 2005 with no 3D.

 

 

It like the old Hp films be like near 900 million today.

 

So 700+ overseas is not that crazy.

 

 

PP and mad Max is amazing.

 

 

However WW box office battle this year is crazy this year.

On UK TV they just went live to London and the premiere of Tomorrowland to interview George Clooney, during the commercials of the football. Never seen that before!

Or women are easier to drag along to a movie they wouldn't necessarily choose than men are.
