Official Weekend Estimates: Straigth Outta Compton - 56.1M; The Man From UNCLE - 13.5M; MI5 - 17.3M; Fantastic Four - 8M

[TalismanRing]

What do people think the legs on Compton are gonna be?

I'm thinking we're gonna see better than Eight Mile. Easy.

E.

 

 

The audience for 8 mile opening weekend was I think 75% under 25; this movie skews older - so yeah much better legs.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

Since Tokyo Drift it's been..

Fast and Furious

Fast 5

Fast and Furious 6

Furious 7

So ignoring the 1st reunion film, the pattern would indicate this for the next three:

Fast 8

Fast and Furious 9

Furious 10

[The Futurist]

What is WRONG with Universal this year ?

I don't get it.

[Gopher]

F4 maybe -25% and AM -22%. 

 

I'm VERY curious about weekend #2. This could be a 200m movie. It could also be #1 for five weeks (I mean, what else is coming out?). Feels like essential viewing of the summer to the masses.

[Alpha]

 

These are starting to get old really fast, lol.

[grey ghost]

Watching movies flop was the most fun this summer.

And to top it off with the Fantastic Four...Pure bliss.

[The Futurist]

There are big tentpole flops every year.

[Orestes]

There are big tentpole flops every year.

 

Yeah but most don't have the public drama that FF did. That Trank tweet really took it to the next level.

And he lost the Star Wars gig : DRAMA !

Thanks. AM with a sub 30% drop now. It has a legitimate shot at surpassing CA1 now.

[BadAtGender]

YES.

 

Also, Lego Movie was great. The superior Chris Pratt film.

 

Y'know...

 

I'm not even a big fan of The Lego Movie, and I'll agree with this.

There are big tentpole flops every year.

But not every flop lets the fanboys shout "I told you so" like Fantastic Whore and Terminator Penisys.

[grey ghost]

Pretty mpressive for a D-list character.

I though MCU was crumbling.

[Mattrek]

Just looked at the full estimates and I'd love to champion PHOENIX, one of the best movies of the year, for having good expansions for such a tiny release-- its theater count doubled and its PTA dipped only 20%. Everyone should check it out if they can, it'll leave you so warm and so so cold.

Speaking of warm things, everything seems underestimated (MI5 down -28% sunday, UNCLE -27%) but COMPTON IS DOWN -10% HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP

Oh joy another block of red coming. Seriously what the fuck happened this summer? My poor BSG.

[Maxmoser3]

Universal is on a roll this year! This has been their biggest summer ever in recent memory.

[AniNate]

Great to have one last breakout before the wasteland season. 

 

Forgive me for tooting my own horn a bit, but I just want to mention that I saw a stop motion cartoon about a sheep last week and an R-rated hip hop drama this week. You cannot say I have narrow tastes.
