filmlover Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I've had a second weekend drop of 68% pegged since the preview numbers came in so it's currently on track to match that at its current rate (that drop would give it a $53M weekend). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Perhaps we should wait for the other numbers for the rest of the movies? Not a bad idea huh? Considering Zootopia had its best Monday since its start. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliadiere29 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 It could finish at 8m on Thursday..... and be set for about a 61m weekend. 18m Friday, 27m Saturday and 16m Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 5 minutes ago, MyMovieCanBeatUpYourMovie said: It's because we love these characters, and we have a fundamental distaste for Zack Snyder's take on them, and we'd like to see the post-Snyder DCEU era start sooner rather than later. But that carries a great deal of assumption -- first, that Snyder's would-be replacement would deliver characters you'd find more enjoyable, and secondly, that the movies would automatically be better. In the latter case, removing him off JL and finding a quick replacement would almost certainly mean an even-greater mishmash of competing styles and an assembly-by-committee final product. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeQ Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) I think we need to be cautious in interpreting a single daily number. One daily number will often make us go "amazing" or "terrible", but it really ends up coming down to the contours of the week as a whole. It's possible that with a steep Tuesday drop, the Wednesday drop will be somewhat better than usual. Certainly we will make our daily observations and analyses as we do as box office nerds, but I do think we could all stand to be more humble and respectful in our statements. We also don't know how the drop compares to the other films on Tuesday yet. I don't post much on here, but I have to say that I am personally a fan of rth's 'teaser' posts - this has been one of the more interesting threads to read.

In the latter case, removing him off JL and finding a quick replacement would almost certainly mean an even-greater mishmash of competing styles and an assembly-by-committee final product. All true. But I've seen pretty clearly what Snyder's vision for these characters is. I personally don't want to see any more of it. And I agree that just bringing in another director to start shooting in two weeks is not likely to produce a great product. The minimum hope I would have would be an Ant-Man situation, where a new director is brought in and shooting is pushed back at least six weeks while the script is reworked. No guarantee of anything, but at least a glimmer of optimism that we might get something enjoyable (speaking only for my own tastes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyGossamer Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 As of now, between $55M and $60M this upcoming weekend seems very likely. Could go as high as $65M and as low as $50M though I presume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
