[Filmovie]

We moving away from the Big Six to THE TWO and then a bunch of small to big distributors.

I mean, the highest non-Disney/Uni film this summer will come in seventh (MI5).

I hope you're talking about this Summer/year and not making a general speech about the future of the industry (that would be one of the dumbest I've ever heard of)

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

SOC killing it. Hope it gets up to that DHD #, 60m+ is possible.

Just imagine if George Miller's Justice League had happened. Hammer was Batman

The cast of that movie was crazy

Waiting for that Fant4stic number. Want a legendary drop. Might as well

Yeah, that's not happening. Question is how far below 10 it goes. 7?

[MrFanaticGuy34]

25M OD for SOC? Wow!

It is sinking over here and this is one of the few places where it was actually a hit on OW. WOM is legendary toxic.  

 

Lmao, 7M for a movie on 4004 theaters.

[grim22]

Whether 18M or 25M that is a great Friday # for Compton. Will catch back up with the thread on Sunday, out with friends the next 2 days. See you guys when I return.

That's a brutal 1st week...

[grey ghost]

If SOC gets 55 m OW any guesses where it lands DOM?

[grey ghost]

SOC OW > FF DOM

Anyone see that coming a month ago?

[mahnamahna]

If SOC gets 55 m OW any guesses where it lands DOM?

I'd guess $125-135 million. 

 

It'll be frontloaded, but the rest of August is empty enough, where it could hold semi-decently its 3rd and 4th weekends.

Cavill is going to suffer the problem that all actors who play Superman do. Once you get the role, people will only see you as that character.

 

I'm sure he's not complaining though. If I were offered a healthy sum for a major franchise, I'd accept it too.

That's not the problem. The problem is people go to see superman because of the character and no one gives a rats ass who plays him so long as he's tall built and has a superhero face. The character itself isn't interesting enough to give who ever plays him a chance for the audience to fall in love with him in todays market.
