Weekend Estimates: JW: 102 IO 91...RTH: Sun JW 38.3 | IO 25.3 with possible upsides PG 287, possible 107M for JW weekend

[Gopher]

Summer 2014 was just a disaster for Hollywood. Guardians (and maybe 22 Jump Street) was the only film to survive the wreckage. Just mediocre performer after disappointment after mediocre performer.

TMNT 

[grim22]

I agree, but it was still a turd box office wise

2014 summer was crazy. 1 300M grosser, 1 250M grosser, 1 100M OW and 4 90M openers. There was no single lightning rod of a movie which everyone needed to rush out to see, even Guardians will probably end up #4 or even #5 compared to this years summer movies.

[babz06]

Yup. Thinking closer to $10M actually.

 

That would be pretty good, no one was predicting great numbers for it. But this film is a teen comedy and 90s nostalgia is in. 

[AniNate]

Apes and X-Men did ok. I mean, it wasn't realistic to expect four quad breakouts from them

[grim22]

TMNT

TMNT was surprisingly leggy, got over a 3 multiplier or close to a 3 multiplier. Did better than 22JS as well.

The 1-2 punch of Guardians and TMNT saved summer from being the worst of all time.

Great weekend for Parks and Recreation fans.

Apes died out way quicker than expected. For the great reviews and word of mouth it had, not even reaching a 3x was disappointing domestically. It did well WW though.

I assume you mean domestic. There was plenty of money made worldwide with the various 2014 summer releases.

Guardians got lucky. It looked incredibly original and different from everything else. Add to that the fact that people had stayed at home the whole Summer and we got a 330M+ hit. Summer 2014 was the key to the OW record going down this year Guardians was only a mega hit because the rest of the Summer line-up performer poorly, Guardians made Chris Pratt a mega star, Chris Pratt is the lead in JW which causes a spike of interest between young adults and combined with the legendary brand it smashes the OW record  

[Ezen Baklattan]

Depending on where the Tuesday night numbers went, I could see anything between $25m to $35m today for IO.

I'd agree, but tone-wise the movie has to be one of the most downbeat PG-13 tentpoles of all time so I'm just glad it got over 200 and was close to 3x.

[Dementeleus]

History in the making here, folks. We may be witnessing our first weekend with two 100M+ movies.

 

Did Mr. Grey teach you nothing?

[Gopher]

Domestically sure, but compared to this year even the WW grosses were small. TF4 killed it in China but it was also a film made around getting Chinese attention.

July 4th was the worst in decades. Transformers 4 and Tammy. Mother of god.

[grim22]

Wonder if Dope will get to 10M and screw everyone up in the BSG.

[The Stingray]

IO: 93m

JW: 84m

[Jake Gittes]

Yup. Thinking closer to $10M actually.

 

 

Just not over Aloha pls. Otherwise that one SOTM is gonna kill some people here (including me).

I want blood to be shed.

This year might be even worse from a box office standpoint: Terminator 5 and Magic Mike 2.
