I'm challenging your contrived assertion that people have "moved on" from JW when it only dropped 39% this weekend despite 3 openers and losing theaters.

In fairness the 3 openers only grossed a combined $53m or less than Antman last week.

$53 million compared to $6.9 million.

Meh not great.

What those two films have done is the complete opposite of meh

What's your point?

Relax just taking about this weekend, obviously they have DARRRRRRRRR.

It has been doing fine in Portugal, the drop will be small compared to other countries, I guess it is a win

 

I feel it was released 1 year too late. Should have come out last year.

 

All 2012 movies had sequels in 2015 roughly, it was on time

22JS and Hangover 2 both were released 2 years after their predecessors.

I just read Southpaw cost 30 million and was financed by a Chinese company. With that opening it should have a good chance of turning a small profit

[GiantCALBears]

IO is holding well no ? just nitpicking on a really weak overall weekend. Look at Minions enough said.

[PDC1987]

What's your point?

Really?

 

A lesser film that's down to under $10 million a weekend could be slaughtered by $53m million worth of openers.

I'm relaxed

Some studio executives privately wondered if films like Fox’s “Paper Towns” and “Pixels,” which draw younger crowds, saw grosses drop as families decided to stay home because of the shooting.

Nice that you picked the one quote to fit your view when the rest of the article stated the effect was negligible

Finally? lol.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

Yup. 7 weekends has gone...and the dinos get their 3rd place DOM.

[Maxmoser3]

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.

it was Ted's fault

[baumer]

Not a great chance anymore B.

But a chance.
