FF's failure is MI5's gain.

[Frozen]

FANTASTIC FOUR opened with an estimated $26.2M this weekend. #FantasticFour

Gonna bet on an over-estimate there.

[KATCH-2D2]

I'm so happy that MI5 has less than 50% drop.

 

You probably did the right choice.

Probably?? More like definitely all things considered..

[grey ghost]

Can't remember the last time a major CBM did not open at #1.

 

For CBMs, Kingsman opened behind Fifty Shades back in February .

 

For superhero movies you have to go way back to Kick Ass 2 in 2013 which opened behind The Butler.

Both rated R. Neither from Marvel.

Wow @ Paper Towns' drop.

Theaters and audiences don't give a shit about Paper Towns anymore.

[grey ghost]

FANTASTIC FOUR opened with an estimated $26.2M this weekend. #FantasticFour

 

Almost half of what Fox was hoping for.

 

[Frozen]

ANT-MAN took in an estimated $7.83M this weekend. Domestic total stands at $147.44M. #AntMan

Across 19 yrs, each of the 5 #MissionImpossible films has spent exactly 2 wknds at #1. #RogueNation may hit $200M in US.

[WrathOfHan]

ANT-MAN took in an estimated $7.83M this weekend. Domestic total stands at $147.44M. #AntMan

DEMOLISHING the competition.

[wildphantom]

There's something gloriously ironic about how this weekend has panned out.

Surely impossible for a new Fantastic Four reboot playing in nearly 4,000 theatres and with Thursday previews to not open at no.1?

and what beats it?....Mission: Impossible. Lmao

[La Binoche]

LMAO @ Floptastic Flop. The public is so sick of being treated like fucking idiots. Marvel single-handedly destroyed people's appetite for comic book movies. When people see an ad for a yet another comic book movie (by Mavel or not), they want to projectile-vomit, especially if it's another reboot. 

[a2k]

29.4 (-47%) is an amazing hold for MI. That's down 42.8% from non-preview OW.

[AJG]

Only one man predicted failure of this magnitude

#BKBWasRight
