WEEKEND ESTIMATES: 23.48 M THE BOSS | 23.44 M BVS: DOJ | 14.35 M ZOOTOPIA | 5.10 M HARDCORE HENRY

[narniadis]

Finally caught up on the last 15+ pages...... y'all know how to beat a dead horse....

 

As for Today's numbers - BvS being beat by The Boss with a less than 8m 3rd(!) Friday is terrible.... no other way to explain it.

 

Decent for Boss but knowing the potential that Melissa's films have when they are good it's a bit disheartening.

 

Don't know what to say about Zoo and the rest of the Friday increases very odd weekend....

Can someone tell me how Blade or Steel count for the modern era? Or how Hancock counts as a comic book adaptation?

 

I know I only said first African American superhero, but I thought the implication was rather obvious

 I was born before 1997. Am I not modern? Am I not hip to the jive, soul brother? Lol, reminds me of, I have nipples Greg, cam you milk me?

 

Ive never read a comic book in my like. a few years ago when my 10 year old niece said she wanted to buy a graphic novel, I told her she was too young for a violent book. Lol. I wouldn't know if Hancock was a CB or marvel/dc if it was

 

The modern era to me is post Star Wars when special effects took a leap. I grew up watching the 50 and 60s SM and BM reruns along with Addams famil and munsters.  Superman 78 is definitely the modern era so to speak compared to those shows.

Meteor Man (1993) was the first black superhero movie.

 

Spawn (1997) was the first black superhero movie based on a comic book.

I had two problems with the movie.

  Reveal hidden contents

One was the crying by Aaron Paul (I get that it's his first time but come on, he's a soldier) and by the British woman who didn't want them to bomb the house (she didn't care about the girl and had sneaky political motives). The other was the end credits footage of the girl with her hula hoop.

Those moments felt heavy-handed to me.

 

Otherwise I loved it and I hope it keeps doing well. 

I saw the movie (as well as The Boss, thoughts on both coming tomorrow) today and disagree on both of those points. Will elaborate in the morning if need be in the film's thread.

according to google trends

 

BvS will make 9.5 million today

The Boss is collapsing . it remains flat with 8.5 million

 

9.5 would be a 58% jump. I was expecting 60% as once spring break is over the Sat jumps go up. F7's went from 35% Sat to 55% Sat a week later. BVS had a 49% Sat last week so thought 60-65% was possbile this Sat.

 

8.5 for Boss would be good. Remember it made 1m in previews. So 8.5 would be up from 7.1m true Friday. In the OW Sat bumps are always muted. 'Collapsing' is silly word to use right now for Boss.

There was like no marketing. I saw one trailer, and it was with Room, which didn't exactly set the box office on fire. Can't blame it on either of them; this shouldn't have started wide.

It would've tanked no matter what. After the tepid reception at TIFF, they banished it to April and left it for dead.

Melissa is flop-proof. 

[Bishop54]

Is see a 714 so I'm going with that, a $7.14 Saturday coupled with a $6M Friday and a likely $5.5M Sunday and that gives us $18.6M...crumbling!

OMG, that's what I speculated for Zootopia! Now a $14 million weekend is likely!

[POTUS 2020]

22.5-23m bvs -55-56% as originally thought. Tight race with TB

Still not good, but not a total crash, just yet
