August was pretty bad this year, round about equal with 2012 as the worst since 1992.

August has been total shit. Everything outside of Compton either did meh or outright tanked (some perhaps deservedly so but that's beside the point).

Not to mention Compton is distributed by Universal.

Summer 2015 is like the anti-summer 2014. A few smash breakouts, nothing between $185m-$325m, a horrible August.

The only way in which it wasn't like a mirror-universe version of summer 2014 was that July still wasn't strong (though at least it wasn't sub-$1B this time). Maybe you could say May was still "weak" like 2014, but it's still a reverse of 2014 in that it was the 2nd biggest of the 10s (while 2014 was the 2nd worst), and it was much less "balanced" in terms of successes vs. failures (though with MM:FR and PP2 picking up the slack from AOU, it was nowhere near as top-heavy as May 2012).

Even the "weak" May was still the 2nd-biggest May of all time (and in terms of admissions, at least it was the 2nd biggest of the 10s) - more money overall than 2014 (despite 2014 having a more well-rounded group of movies), and AOU was not over 50% of the calendar gross like TA1 was (with MM:FR and PP2 picking up the slack).

Nothing over 185M what about Mission Impossible?

[TServo2049]

Not as of today. If it gets over $185m by/on Labor Day, then we'll talk.

Four movies over $300m and nothing between $200m-$300m is still a complete reverse of 2014's seven movies between $200m-$300m and nothing over $300m. (Again, this is just the calendar summer, I know GOTG made another $50m in the fall.)

no #fuckspaghetti? I'm disappointed, B.

July had Minions, Trainwreck, and MI. How was it weak?

It felt weak at the time because of a shit 4th of July, Ant-Man "underperformed", and Pixels/Paper Towns weekend sucked.

MI only had one day in July.

Also because July 2010-13 all crossed $1.3B, and every July from 1993-2013 adjusts to at least $1.25B. 2014-15 are the lowest-attended Julys since 1992.

The narrative that Ant-Man underperformed is one of the dumbest on this forum in a while. Who the hell was predicting more than what it's done? Cause if you were you're a silly, silly person.

Hence why I put it in quotes.
