Truly a nightmare preview number. Even with all of the ill will toward it I never thought a 20 something OW was possible but it's almost to be expected now. Good lord.

[CJohn]

There's gonna be a new reboot from fox every six years just because we all need the occasional reminder that there is no god.

I hope FOX does this. I am sure every single one of them will turn profit if FOX only spends 70M in each anyway.

[Mojoguy]

Another crappy weekend coming.

[Mr Terrific]

Ethan, can you complete the Disney fan casting for the 2022 reboot?

I don't see an obvious Thing or Dr. Doom from this group. Ross Lynch for Johnny Storm?

This one probably isn't going to turn a profit if that preview numbers turns into a mid $20s w/e.

Yeah, totally. I mean Age of Ultron only made what, $450+ million? Clearly nobody watched it.

This summer is dead.

Why? Just because you want FOX to spite Marvel? FOX obviously doesn't give a crap about FF anymore.

[grey ghost]

Aou and Ant-man can below expect and neither got great reviews. Now FF hurting the the Marvel brand.

I'd say that's because expectations were pretty high.

Alot of people expected AOU to beat TDK and Ant-Man to beat Captain America 1. People forget how hard it is to surpass those benchmarks.

and FF won't hurt MCU any more than ASM2.

2.7M should lock 30M weekend. With a 80M DOM total and 170-190M OS it will turn into profit.

Just because I hate fanboy mentality. The crap the cast received when it was announced was absolutely ridiculous. For that alone they deserve to never get FF in the MCU.

[Deathlife]

It should open up with over $30M.

 

It still doesn't bode well for the movie.

^{If Fox Studios were concerned with the reviews scaring people off, they might have considered putting a plug in the directors mouth. Can we say this guy will never work in Hollywood again?}

What would be the good and bad scenario with this number?

[CJohn]

What would be the good and bad scenario with this number?

At this point good would be 31-35M. Bad would be 25-27M.

People are burned out for the summer season.

If you think BvS and Civil War are going to flop you'll be sorely disappointed.

[a2k]

2.7M should lock 30M weekend. With a 80M DOM total and 170-190M OS it will turn into profit.

 

It's not gonna have a multiplier of 2.67.

GL was 2.19x. ASM2 was 2.21x.

This could do 2.15-2.3x, 65-70m with a 30m ow.

They got good reviews, and no one expected ant man to make a great deal amount of money. This post is a fallacy.
