[Rman823]

Not surprised about F4's theatre drop. My 10 screen theatre got rid of it this weekend.

[terrestrial]

They also have a table for worldwide weekends which will be available later.

Yes, I know, I recognise the 'colors' 

 

I start - atypical for me - for rooting for UNCLE a bit, I think the movie is really catching the old TV-series essence and looks fresh and ... at the same time...

[a2k]

Wonder if Ant-Man can leg it to 180m. It's on 164m with a 4m weekend so is surely crossing 175m.

[a2k]

Minions is 10m away from 330m. Should be a lock after a 3.7m weekend (and labor day bump remaining). Probably 332-333m.

[FilmBuff]

Is 180 mil a good number for ant man?

[Rman823]

Is 180 mil a good number for ant man?

It would put it between CA:TFA and Thor.

[terrestrial]

Wonder if Ant-Man can leg it to 180m. It's on 164m with a 4m weekend so is surely crossing 175m.

In one of the articles I linked in this thread one of the authors meant ~ a probable good chance

 

Is 180 mil a good number for ant man?

 

I think so.

1. BO.com long range forecast had a cum of $147m,

 

2. Ant-Man's budget is the smallest of all MCU movies ($130m),

and

 

3. it had a slight tone down ~ early in its run via strong other #1 (MI5), then recovered out of that, starting to get stronger and stronger dailies in relation to the days-in-release. To a degree it already beats in the dailies of week 5 MCU movies with a way higher OW... including for weekdays CA 2

It helps both Ant-Man (then 4 weeks in = less impact) and IM5 (then 2 weeks in release, more impact) that the next high earner = Straight Outta Compton doesn't seem to share a high percentage of overlap of audience = MI5 and Ant-Man and... are still an interesting alternative to audience not interested into a music based movie

 

4. Is based a 'C-list' character, with a bit of controversity (different charcters were Ant-Man, one of them has not a good reputation for some reasons)

 

5. newly introduced.... no 'real' Avenger' support, 'only' a kind of Origin story combined with a heist comedy (I haven't seen it yet)

 

6. 4 weeks later starting advertising than e.g. AoU got in relation to the release dates (but the solo introducing movies seem to get more spots aired)

 

7. Some backslash of 'fans' of the former attatched director (term?), too long in the making (Ant-Man was planed to get a release at the date IM 2 had then to fill in, bcs of that IM 2 started totally unprepared incl. without a script to film)... and some other reasons why I didn't expect it to make as much as it now seems to make.

 

8. OW to cum MP will be a rather very good one (especially for a CBM). ~ $171.6m = OW MP 3 Avengers 1 had MP 3, GotG had OW MP 3.53, IM 1 had OW MP 3.23, all other MCUs are OW MP 2.39 till OW MP 2.75), speaks for a rather good WOM.

If it reaches $180m = ~ OW MP of 3.15

 

Thor 1 (2011) made $181.03m, but had a budget of $150m

 

$150m would have been to a degree good too IMHO

 

Worldwide I find it strange how many pro-mag.-articles and blogger... (some seemingly rather very biased against all kind of CBMs) seem to ignore / be to sloppy / ??? about Ant-Man still not being released in all countries (South Korea, Japan, China = not released yet) and still making strange comments about it's actual ww result without even hinting at the 'missing' countries.

[grim22]

Rogue Nation showing really good legs, may hit 200M. UNCLE showing a pretty good second weekend drop, if only the opening was higher, will probably do around 45-50M Domestic when all is said and done with a close to 4 multiplier.

Wow, so TERMINATOR GENISYS won the overseas weekend? And that's just one day, right?

[grim22]

Wow, so TERMINATOR GENISYS won the overseas weekend? And that's just one day, right?

 

The power of China, not to mention the star-power of Schwarzenegger in China. 

 

The TERMINATOR franchise just got a shot in the arm, as GENISYS debuted in China w/ $27.4M.

— Exhibitor Relations (@ERCboxoffice)

August 23, 2015

 

The Arnold Schwarzenegger film scored $2.2 million worth of midnight previews in China, which is the fourth-biggest on record for an American film behind Transformers: Age of Extinction ($3.38m), Avengers: Age of Ultron ($4.7m), and Furious 7 ($8.03m). It then went on to earn $27.4 million on its first single day, which is the fourth biggest debut for a US movie ever in China, behind Transformers 2 ($30m), Avengers 2 ($33.9m), and Furious 7 ($63m). Yes, that is larger than the $1.1m worth of previews and $17.7m single day gross of Jurassic World back in June.

[grey ghost]

Is 180 mil a good number for ant man?

It's about in line with people's expectations. Worldwide it should cross 460 m which is very good for a D-list superhero. That's more than any X-men movie before 2014.
