Morbid curiosity could prevent that record from happening. 

It would need like 3.5m or lower next weekend.   Lol, what a catastrophe that would be.

[Mojoguy]

Since Fant4stic is already a bomb beyond salvation, I'd like to see it break the second weekend drop record. Undiscovered holds it with -86.4%. Been patiently waiting for something to top that for 10 years. C'mon Fant4stic, at least it would hold a record then!

It won't happen. FF just didn't open big enough to have such a huge second weekend drop.

Watching the first Mission Impossible and the opening credits with the flash forward are one hell of a misdirect. Makes us think it will be the whole team working together throughout the movie.

Well statistically it's the movies that open sub 5m that have had the biggest second weekend drops. Probably due to massive theater count loss I'd imagine. Except for the Friday the 13th reboot that opened to 40m and still dropped 80.5% in its second weekend.

1. LOL can a single thread go by here without a Nolan/Batman discussion of any kind?

 

2. CJohn works overtime in making it sound like the current season of True Detective is more fun than it really is.

Heath Ledger was a weak Joker.

 

Bad make up, bad lines, weak actor, not charismatic enough to pull it off.

That record was broken at the beginning of the summer though:

Who wouldn't fuck Paul Rudd. Seriously.

I wouldn't. Woof.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Cap 1 was mediocre.

Cap 1 sucked balls. I liked the first act but the rest was ridiculous.

[HesAPooka]

Poor Thor.

 

He's looking at having a medocre trilogy while Cap might have one of the best decenterish trilogies of all time.

Don't worry about it, but Im assuming you forgot about The First Avenger just like everyone else who has seen it.

Lol at Winter Soldier being a political thriller.

It's the same generic superhero movie Marvel makes.

Fanboys will do anything to justify mediocrity.

Doesn't count because it lost theatres on its second weekend.

BOM doesn't seem to count it:

The truly sad thing is that pathetic $8.2m is still more than Shaun The Sheep made over 5 days.  Learn to love yourself people!
