Weekend Estimates (pg44): Spectre 73 | Peanuts 45 | Martian 9.3 | Goosebumps 6.9 | Spies 6.09 | Important forum announcement in first post.

[CoolioD1]

star wars will be passable fan service. there's only one true GREAT throwback seventh installment for the rest of the year.

 

 

[75Live]

Now that I've seen Spectre and plan to watch The Peanuts tomorrow.  I only have 2 more films to look forward the rest of the year and that's Creed and some Star Wars movie

 

I'll see more like probably The Hateful Eight, The Good Dinosaur and possibly Krampus, but unlike Creed and TFA, if I miss them, it won't bother me

Yeah...true. And JW's overperformance has showed this year that not every Marvel-superhero movie can win every year.

 

So Marvel-Movies grosses huge amounts...but none of them has won for #1 these recent years.

 

But the MCU's only been the biggest movie of the year once, in 2012. There never was a precedent for them to win "every year". Even if you grant ALL Marvel characters, it's only happened three times: 2002, 2007, 2012. (Worldwide it's just 2012.)

 

So I guess going by that, it should happen again in 2017. So take your bets on Untitled Wolverine, GotG2, Untitled Spider-Man, or Thor: Ragnarok at having a chance of beating Episode 8.

 

(Though we know the real Marvel winner there: F4-2.)

 

[DAR]

For me it's TFA, MJ, Creed, GD, TFA, TFA, TFA and the TFA

[Water Bottle]

I'm thinking of seeing Bridge of Spies today. Just make it a weekend of spies for me. Thoughts?

[Ethan Hunt]

Quantum of Solace isn't as good as the other three but its plenty entertaining

[Jack Nevada]

POINT BREAK. FACE THE BREAK. ONLY MOVIE THAT MATTERS

[grim22]

The leggiest movie of fall so far is The Intern. Will end with over 75M from a 17M OW and almost 200M WW on a 30M budget. Really good performance.

But Marvel Studios still made the top 3 DOM and WW four years in a row (though they will be 4th WW this year). That's pretty impressive for a smaller studio.

Then Craig's Bond series will be one of the biggest rollercoasters in movie history.

 

Casino Royale (great), Quantum of Solace (poor), Skyfall (great), Spectre (poor), Bond 25 (great?).

 

That's your opinion.

 

Craig

 

1. Skyfall 10/10

2. Spectre/Casino Royale 9,0

3. Quantum of Solace 8,0

 

Brosnan

That's fine but most people probably wouldn't rate Spectre evenly with Casino Royale.

 

And what does your Brosnan list show?

If it's not superior to the entire Prequel Trilogy, nerds will burn down the city.

[dudalb]

Some of us have been saying that expecting SPECTRE to do Skyfall numbers was unrealistic.Skyfall has the whole massive buzz of the 50th Anniversary going for it.

SPECTRE will be fine;EON will make a ton of money off of it.

But I do look for them to spend less on Bond 26.

Saw SPECTRE last night. Good,not great Bond film. Certainly not  down there with QOS.

I think some people are treating Bond like a comic book film franchise;that is a mistake,different breed of cat. SKYFALL attracted a lot of comic book fanboys who don't see the differences.

 

Fact is, no official Bond movie every lost money;every one has made at least a decent profit. Even the ones which underperformed (On her Majesty's Secret Service, Man With The Golden Gun, Licence To Kill) had a good return on investment,though they were not Cash cows like the huge Bond hits. Unless you allow the budget to go completely out of control,there is no safer investgment in the film world then a Bond film.

And for the last 30 years, Bond has made his big money in Overseas markets.

Much smaller OW, but BoS should be #1 over The Martian.

I believe that, like me, the people behind these robberies are extreme athletes.

[TalismanRing]

QOS (with an estimated $2.5 from previews) had a bigger Friday than Spectre

 

$27m - $2.5m = $24.5m Friday  / $67,528,882 w/e

They will always have Hotel Transylvania franchise. After the Amy Pascal, email, and "The interview" scandal, Sony is fast becoming the sorriest studio in Hollywood with no real franchise in their hands. Jump Street & RoboCop? Surfs & Meatballs? Men in Black and Ghost Rider? Spider-Man with Marvel presiding over everything and probably lion share of the profit? 

 

 

Marvel aren't getting nothing from the Spidey film. They're gonna make their money from the merchandise.
