If Pixels really does open to 25M, Ant-Man could be ahead of it.

[The Dark Alfred]

If Pixels only opens to 25m then PT wins the weekend, AM won't repeat.

Tuesday numbers please before I go to bed, you can't skip out on us two nights in a row Gopher.

With a  $6.4m Monday I think a  $25m w/e would be the high end for Ant-Man unless WOM really picks up and the openers really under perform

Dare I hope for both?

Preview showtimes in OC for the openers (2 days prior to opening):

- Pixels with 102 showtimes

- Southpaw with 64 showtimes

- Paper Towns with 57 showtimes (5 "Night at the towns" specials)

 

No baselines 2 days before opening, but 1 day before opening I have Terminator + Magic Mike at 156 showtimes, Ant-Man with 140 showtimes, Trainwreck with 75 and Minions with 227.

 

Right now I would guess the 3 movies combined will do around 6-7M previews.

Just caught that Star Wars trailer on the big screen for a second time! It was awesome, and then Disney gave me a free low tier Marvel movie to go with it

Southpaw wins weekend. 

[Mitch]

ANT-MAN still holding up

[Blankments]

Indominus symbolizes the End of Marvel dominance aka Age of Ultron getting ass kicked by JW. 

Unrelated to JW, but I think it's funny that after Marvel released two of their best movies in 2014, 2015 they brought two eh movies with bright spots

 

Although I've grown to appreciate AoU more...

[The Dark Alfred]

All hail the new kings: dinos and soon DCU

[Blankments]

In 1997 MIB overtook TLW as the highest grossing film of summer 1997

In 2015 , JW overtakes AOU as the highest grossing film of the summer

Both had Vincent D Onofrio as the bad guy

Vincent D Onofrio effect?

 

Kingpin will kill Thanos in IW1 and steal the Infinity Gauntlet for part 2, confirmed

[DAR]

All hail the new kings: dinos and soon DCU

And a galaxy far far away

Queen* since all dinos in JW/JP are female, or at least all the famous ones(Rexy, I-rex, velociraptors, etc).

Water.... is that you?

Females who spontaneously change their sex when the population is depleted.

 

I'm assuming B.D. Wong fixed that glitch in Jurassic World.

No. 

I was just being pedantic for no serious reason. LOL

Yeah, he fixed them so females will stay female forever since they did stress upon the gender of the main dinosaurs.

[kowhite]

No.

You should probably...talk to Water.

They could learn things from you.

[Dementeleus]

Some shitty exploitation company should do a crossover between JW and Ilsa (the She-Wolf, not the Disney princess). Except this time, it's not just the dinos they make female, it's any man who sets foot on the island.
