Weekend Official Estimates: SA 53.2m, PP 14.4m, TL 13.8m, MMFR 13.6m, AOU 10.9m, Aloha 10m

And how is it a bad drop?  All movies coming off the holiday weekend are going to drop quite hard.  Happens every year.

[baumer]

Some of you guys need to look at the whole picture before saying something is dropping hard.  Memorial weekend has an inflated Sunday.  Therefore drops are obviously going to be harsh this weekend.

 

Here's the top 14 films from last year after Memorial weekend:

 

Would you say all of these films were doomed because of one weekend?

Except Frozen

Except Frozen

 

Which had been out for 17 years by the time Memorial weekend came around.

[Deep Wang]

Why would anyone plagarize that charlatan?

 

Because his peers don't consider him a charlatan?

 

Mostly just butt-hurt internet fanboys.

And the doubters shall fall

[Boxofficerules]

So much for the argument that audiences are rejecting original movies.

[vc2002]

What type of paycheck does The Rock get for a movie now? 15-20m?

[CJohn]

He got 12M for San Andreas.

The Rock says "Know your role, and watch my movies!"

[vc2002]

He got 12M for San Andreas.

 

That's a low pay for such a big draw now. I guess he will get his 20m as a leading role in a franchise sequel or sth.

Look at the one who said it and you'll know why.

Halle Berry got $12m for Catwoman 11 years ago. Think of the inflation. God.

[Blankments]

The Rock dodged a bullet lol

 

According to the two writers, they are turning in a script in about three weeks to the studio and Tomorrowland is set to star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson as a character named Rip.

Halle Berry got $12m for Catwoman 11 years ago. Think of the inflation. God.

 

The movie salary structure has changed massively in the last decade.  They were throwing money at stars before, now not so much.  10 years ago, Mickey Rourke would have gotten 5 mill for IM2...instead they haggled over 250 K and he ended up getting half a mill to do it.

Should have just paid Halle Berry $12 to be Catwoman.

Maleficent's run was so much fun. Everyone had written it off and then it just kept going and going and passed all those comic books movies and tentpoles and caused countless meltdowns on this forum. 

[Kalderic]

great numbers! I am so glad SA went up from those early estimates! 

[4815162342]

 

Has a chance to end up over 50m for the weekend depending on the Saturday hold, which would be great since I was bullish in my BSG preseason prediction
