That number for WAYR is just downright pathetic. Won't even have a $1k PTA.

WB seemed to dump it completely, they just didn't even promote the fact that the movie was coming out.

[zackzack]

Wow, Rogue Nation could hit $190M...

[TServo2049]

Wouldn't be surprised if we get a ton of reissues next week on top of AOU and IO. Anything else need to hit a milestone?

I thought Furious 7 was also re-expanding for Labor Day; was that cancelled?

I'm not sure it's cancelled. It's just that Universal hasn't tracking that film in 2 months....shouldn't that be time to re-expand F7?

Hey where do you guys Straight Outta Compton is going to end its box office run? I really want it to go above $170mil but I don't know, it's dropping too harshly right now.

Ant-Man with the best hold in the top 10 barring JW's expansion.  It's going to hit 3 multiplier by Sunday of LD weekend. Beating CA1 is locked now. With a good shot at beating Thor1's 181M+. Tremendous legs after the 56% 2nd weekend drop. 

[Blankments]

Agreed. I would have watched it in theaters.

I haven't watched Regular Show in a couple of years, but I would've went to see it to support traditional animation ala SpongeBob earlier this year. It certainly could've made more money WAYF lol

Hmm...I dunno. Universal may have plans go give it an Oscar push, if they can...but I think $170M could be doable, probably. Impressive DOM numbers, for a movie that.....sadly didn't do very much OS-wise.

I mean....doesn't it have Ice-Cube in it? SOC is his biggest opener since 22JS.

My local drive in is having a triple feature next weekend with Furious 7, Jurassic World, and Minions.

The Transporter 2 is so bad, it al it's warps the time contimuum and travels around and becomes good.

Almost.

Not quite.

I remember when my girlfriend and I at the time went to see that. At that part someone yelled out, "YEAH, RIGHT!"

I was grinning like an idiot and I felt sorry for that guy.

[Gopher]

WAYF was acquired for 2 mil and most of its marketing seemed to be in social media. Who knows why WB bought it in the first place but they didn't put any gusto behind it, except for a fairly wide screen count (which.. geez.. lots of empty seats in theaters this weekend already).

[Moviedweeb]

Hopefully it will close over $195m. 

[Cmasterclay]

This might have been pointed out already and I missed it, but WAYF probably had one of the most disadvantageous release dates in recent memory. The entire audience for this movie is older high school/college students. It just so happens that this weekend in either move back weekend for college, high school prep/orientation weekend, OR the the party weekend that follows the first week back at school for those who started early. No one in this movie's target demographic is possibly seeing a movie this weekend. Absolute failure to match demographic/release schedule. Sure, it was being dumped anyway, but that's still a pretty inexplicable failure on WB's part. 

[Chewy]

Congrats to Fant4stic for hitting a 2x multiplier this weekend

This, the Lambo chase and Matt Modine make this movie glorious.

[CJohn]

The Transporter Series with Stathan is pure ridiculous awesomeness. 

[grim22]

Transporter refueled basically screwed over the IMAX Labor Day expansion dreams for JW, F7 and AoU. Pretty sure all 3 of them were planning some kind of IMAX and large format expansion.

Benefited from F4 being garbage.

JW was definitely. They had to put it this weekend instead.

[CoolioD1]

Saw the trailer for the new transporter before compton yesterday and I dunno, I thought it looked pretty fun.
