Whattya know, Self/Less dropped less than 60%

 

Avatar better watch out.

Ant-Man is DEMOLISHING THE COMPETITION. JW is CRUMBLING and Minions has TOXIC WOM.

That should cover everything.

Massive trolling by Focus.

[Hatebox]

Maybe he will pop up in a Marvel film and get redemption

 

Who do you think would win in a fight between Hulk and the T-1000?

Wonder if it can crack the top 100. Was so disappointed when Aloha didn't

It'd be in good company with Entourage

The IMAX contract was propping it up. Time for reality to set in.

Ant-Man failing to break out means that the slot for late summer breakout is still open. No action movie has been huge since Jurassic World, everything is perfectly set up for Rogue Nation to have a 75M+ opening.

To be fair, 57% against a $55 million opener that isn't direct competition isn't exactly great WOM. 

 

Seems Minions is middle-of-the-road in terms of WOM so far. $340-350 million DOM is my guess. But it could surprise next weekend with a 30-35% drop out of nowhere.

Don't you mean Pixels? 

 

Rogue Nation is tracking at $40 million right now.

Cant even read this thread today. So many strange things being said today. See you all tomorrow.

Nice 45-50% jump for Minions, baum.

T-1000. Not even close

T-1000 needs to be defeated with brains (eg: how to make use of fortuitous supplies of liq nitrogen).

Is it weird to say I forgot Aloha even existed?

IMAX contracts are weird. Ant-Man is getting one week only in IMAX, it is losing all the screens which contributed 10% of its weekend take within a week (along with all of PLF screens within 2 weeks).

crumbling

[theultimatebiu]

But with that 277M WW, That will ensure we see T6 on the Horizon..

 

Reboot? Yes. Sequel? No.

The interest is too low.

Everything except for its completely humdrum marketing campaign. They need to ramp it up if they want a breakout. There isn't a late summer breakout every year, not feeling it this time

Which is a shame because those shrinking scenes probably look great in IMAX

[samsha22]

My 10:30 AM minions show was sold out. The audience reaction was muted with very few laughs.

[JennaJ]

So IMAX could shorten Ant-Man's run in favor of Pixels. Why could it not do something similar when TG failed to deliver?
