Poor WB's Jungle Book. They might as well shelve it indefinitely 

 

With Disney going forward on a sequel that will probably also come out in 2018 it's DOA

[TimmyRiggins]

I feel bad for Andy, he probably has something huge going on, but the CG work on this one is just out of this world, and it will always be seen as inherently inferior to Disney's version. Bad timing.

No Prisoners will be thrilled if this stuck and was a bridesmaid again.

 

I had too much time today to change my number on Barbershop with all the early numbers calling it for high 20s or 30.  Should have left it at 21.

Yes, and again after 15 years of playing, a bridesmaid again. 

Always a bridesmaid never a....in a good SH movie

Could be another Jurassic World situation this weekend!

I had a sinking suspicion back in January that BvS could disappoint and this would actually end up being the breakout movie before the summer in this period.
 

Looks like that may actually happen if these numbers continue this weekend. Again reviews do count! If it wasn't this high on RT, it wouldn't be doing this good. I'm going to see it tomorrow and am definitely looking forward to it.

 

Metacritic just did a breakdown on major releases and how critical reaction far more often than not corresponds with audience reaction and box office in terms of openings, second week drops and multipliers

If WOM is as good as some suggest it has a great chance of it with a 90+ opening. It will drop during Civil War but this thing is going to be huge for families and probably have insane legs.

Yep! And if Civil War gets in the 90s like some predict, that 200 barrier is a possibility. That things going to be huge in a few weeks if it plays out like a lot think.

Japan loves toons.  If they like this one it can get there. 

[a2k]

make 100 happen

33 + 39.75 (+20.5%) + 27.25 (-31.5%) = 100m

I'm thinking about a TJB, Allegiant double tomorrow.

Batman V Superman is more a Man of Steel sequel than a Batman movie. To compare it with the Nolan sequels is not fair at all.

 

If you compare Batman & Robin on it's 22nd day of release back in 1997, at half the ticket price, number of total screens, plus no 3D or IMAX,  (and in the middle of the Summer season with competition), that film has a better per screen average than BVS. So in terms of collapse from an opening weekend, this has eclipsed even that film by a large margin. So in many ways the final tally of BVS is a frank reminder of how far it fell in so short a time. When you go from being a sure bet to cross the billion dollar mark after opening weekend to losing to a film 19 years older than you at the start of your fourth week, you've more than made a statement about the record number of people you scared off. In terms of collapse even Schumacher no longer holds the trophy. Congrats Snyder.

[The Futurist]

Also, BvS had no competition its second and third week end.

 

With a traditionnal summer release, it could have have done sub 300m.

[The Stingray]

I'm thinking

 

33
36
26
95
 

[The Futurist]

Yeah, 95m is a nice target, 100m will be tough.
