It doesn't matter what Pan's Sat increase is. It's screwed.

Warner Bros is the new Universal and Universal is the new WB.

 

Btw, Jem and the Holograms must be tracking so well that it was already cancelled in Portugal. That is kinda amazing.

You know movies like Pan, studios know the movie was dead on arrival.

When it s really bad, they can't salvage anything.

I bet the movie had terrible score cards in projection tests.

Margot Robbie s ass will save Warner s in 2016.

Tbh, I think Pan could have come out in late August or something. There was 0 family competition. 

[Mojoguy]

Someone please put the HT2 numbers in this topic's title.

[Ethan Hunt]

Yes, I did. I thought Damn was terrific but I didn't love it. The story takes a really weird turn at one point. But it is very entertaining.

Fair enough.

[WrathOfHan]

And yet it just fell 15% better in its third weekend than the first.

It needs to increase 35% over the first to reach 200M, and with Goosebumps, Peanuts, and TGD, it doesn't look like that will happen.

[MovieMan89]

Yeah, these holds for HT2 are great, but will be over after next month starts. I doubt it can maintain strong enough late legs for 200. Who will be seeing it after Halloween and with the other options too? The first one's great holds collapsed after Halloween as well.

Wow, the Steve Jobs PTA. The Martian will soon face some serious adult competition. 

Welcome back, Kate Winslet.

As soon as WB moved it to October, it was a write off.

Steve Jobs did pretty well in limited release, the budget is only $30-35m so it'll do well just from domestic

[Ethan Hunt]

Wait what is the PTA for Steve Jobs?

HT2 will make nearly all of its money in October like the first HT. Not a bad thing because all the November and December movies won't impact it much.

[Frozen]

$132,405 PTA

Sicario had a 66k PTA (which was huge). 

 

Steve Jobs is headed for a 132k PTA (which is monstrous). 

[The Futurist]

The Steve Jobs Worshippers live in big megalopolis.

 

Honor The Man.

Well Steve Jobs is getting a pretty strong marketing push and I feel like there is plenty of appeal in a film about Steve Jobs. So I expect it to do pretty well when it expands
