Nope, came first its 4th, 5th, and 6th weekends amazingly, despite falling to 2nd in its 2nd and 3rd. 4 non-consecutive weeks at #1.

Oh missed that. lol. They added more theaters on its 5th weekend. I wish Universal would add more to JW eventually too.

[superduperm]

Also, when was our last summer movie to do 4 weekends in a row?

TDK

[MovieMan89]

TDK

Ah, should've known. Though I have to say I think JW's reign is more impressive because it has done it in the heart of summer. TDK came out at the end of July and was kinda the last big blockbuster for the season.

[MovieMan89]

With that horrid drop this weekend, Ted 2 is on track to finish with only around 35% of the first's admissions DOM. Talk about bleeding audience. You would think it was the sequel to one of the most toxic WOM movies ever with that kind of blood letting. Meanwhile, MMXXL is on track for a 60% admissions drop as well.

Also it had very little competition back then too for more than 1 month. Tropic Thunder was the only competition it had and it wasn't even that big. Even after 2 months TDK was the still biggest release lol. Kinda wondering how much more JW could have earned if it had less competition.

Gopher: i didnt care for him in POTA either.

I though Emilia was good. She kinda channelled Hamilton quite well imo.

Jk and Arnold were good.

Never disliked really anything. Not saying he's the greatest actor but he was far from bad in this.

[MovieMan89]

Loved Emilia in TG. She's 2 for 2 for me as far as her acting roles I've seen.

[CoolioD1]

emilia clarke is pretty much a punchline to me. I'm not sure why she thinks this whole acting thing is for her.

[CJohn]

She was great in the movie.

GOTG... 

That was the last BO run I followed closely before JW.

Dat Chris Pratt power. 

[CoolioD1]

the quiet scenes that were just her and jai courtney (there were too many of those things) honestly had me looking away from the screen to the floor in embarrassment. they were both very bad.

If only BOT run Hollywood, we would have perfect films and perfect casts.

And a perfect John Connor.

 

But the city of angels ignores us.

Yet I still found far more interesting than the "action" scenes.

I'd like to see her act with someone who's not a plank of wood, but I have to admit that I haven't enjoyed her as much in the recent season of GOT.

Perusing the DOM top 10 on BOM, I notice JW and Shrek are the odd men out. Everything else comes in pairs:

2 James Cameron movies

2 Dark Knight movies

2 Avengers movies

2 Star Wars movies

I dunno about that. but they weren't any good either. I can't say I remember a single action beat beyond that stupid bus flip thing that was in all the ads. People can shit on t3 all they like but the car chase in that is actually pretty fun.

If anyone wants proof on the male to female audience ratio for MM, just watch this:

Basically the entire audience was female (albeit skewed since it was midnight, but still)

or 8 films from 4 directors. I guess it'll be 3 star wars films by next year.

idk if we'd be any good at the whole casting thing. there's only so many films chris pratt and jlaw can be in.

The crane chase in T3 is rather easily better than most action sequences in modern blockbusters imo.
