RIP Avengers.

[goldenstate5]

Tony Stark focused on Ultron... turns out he should've probably have focused on nuking Isla Nublar instead.

RIP Avengers.

Meanwhile at Universal studios..

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Columbia's likely scenario is to start a partnership with a different studio.

Which studio do you think would be a good fit?

[kowan]

 

Although I hope it reaches 7m+ at least on actuals.

[Fancyarcher]

I fall into this category. I am very easy to please. I know what I like and if a movie makes an attempt to capitalize on what it is that I like I am easily pleased.

 

Lol. I the same way. There are certain films I really despise, but for the most part, I rarely say that movie sucked or it was awful. I'm actually pretty easy to please.

Paper Flops in sixth place? lololol and to think some people thought it stood a chance of winning the weekend.

Should be a decent chance of that. Universal projecting 34.5% Sunday drop (compared to 33% last Sunday) even though Saturday only jumped 38% compared to last Saturday's 50% increase. Assuming Friday and Saturday numbers hold, it would need a 31% Sunday drop to hit $7m actuals. Very doable.

what da fuck with JW sunday drop since 2 weeks lol... -33% -34.5% ... what s happening?

Crumbling...duh!

Last weekend it jumped 50% on Saturday. Bigger Saturday jump means bigger Sunday drop. This weekend it "only" jumped 38% Saturday, so I think Universal is being too harsh with the 34.5% projection for Sunday.

 

Two weeks ago it jumped 66% Friday, 37% Saturday, and dropped less than 29% Sunday. I would think that's a better comparison than last weekend.

Will IO reach 350? Needs a 5x multiplier from this weekend to do it. TS3 did a 5x and IO is showing no real signs of slowing down.

[Maxmoser3]

it's the last major kid friendly film of the summer.

It'll probably get to 75m-80m solely due to Shaun/Underdogs being it's only competition until late September

but it could have a severe drop next weekend.

[MinaTakla]

Minions total: 759m, slip chance to get to 1B,

You don't think it's crossing 1B?

It has a very good chance

[grim22]

Awful numbers this weekend. Would be disappointing to see such a good summer end with a whimper, hopefully Rogue Nation, Fantastic Four and the UNCLE/Compton combo all do well.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

A movie starring Iron Man hasn't made less than 1.2 billion since Iron Man 2.

Then you add the Russo's, Spider-man and an event film to the mix?

No way this misses 1 billion.

Wait, Spidey is still going to be in Civil War?

[Jandrew]

And to rub salt in the wound: this June missed the record by...$10 million. Even with the JW/IO combo, Ted 2 or Spy was enough to ruin it.
