Overall, this was a decent weekend. It's pretty low for Memorial Day, but still 5 movies earned $20 million plus this weekend.

Boring.......................

Not-so-stellar debut for #Tomorrowland but still hits #1 w/ $32.2M over 3days. Mixed reviews & so-so B CinemaScore.

It's the lowest since 2001.

#Tomorrowland cost $180M+. Dom shd finish w/ $100-110M. Needs huge intl run to break even. Overseas lukewarm so far.

Why is WB so slow to report things? No four day estimate, no OS.

[kayumanggi]

Overall Memorial Day weekend box office is down around 18% vs. 2014 when X-MEN: DOFP opened with $90M, $110M.

Disgusting.

 

Not a single film will hit $40M this FRI-SUN wknd. Last time this happened on #MemorialDay wknd was 20yrs ago in 1995.

For Memorial Day, it's awful.

 

Memorial Day is not supposed to be a decent movie-going weekend. It's supposed to be one of the best movie weekends of the year.

It's the lowest since 2001.

 

The selection of films this year was less appealing than usual so it's not like there's a slump going on.

There's a slump in good filmmaking

That's true. Studios didn't schedule their films in May thinking A: AOU would be so dominant. Well...

[FilmBuff]

Is 450m even possible for AOU?

475 mil for it.

[Maxmoser3]

Will MMFR pass 100m before next weekend?

if it has good dailies, but I think it will do it before next Sunday

[Maxmoser3]

Tomorrowland easily led the weekend but this is such a disappointment considering it's high budget and especially when you add prints and advertising costs even if it does good ok overseas it will not help losses for Disney.

i guess studios were scared of Ultron; They should be less scared now. Jurassic World could have made a killing on this date. 

[kayumanggi]

475 mil for it.

 

IRON MAN III made 42 M more after this weekend. You think A: AOU will make 65 M more?
