Holy crap, I just realized that other than Avatar and 2 of the SW Prequels, Deadpool is Fox's highest grossing movie domestically to date.

 

Nope. After removing those 3, Fox's highest grossing movie domestically would be A New Hope.

One of the biggest weekends ever is coming up.  

 

Ratchet and Clank vs Keanu.

No one wanted a SWATH sequel no matter the circumstances. 

This, pretty much. As I said in the Now You See Me 2 thread earlier this week, that movie and this one feel like the most thunderingly obvious examples of sequels that NO ONE asked for in recent memory.

Chastain is hot but the rest of the trailer is very underwhelming. Don't understand why Chastain would take up a mid-level blockbuster when she starred in the $200M-grossing Martian?

 

Studio obligation.

This disastrous number is because they didn't recast the massive box office draw that is Kristen Stewart. 

[filmlover]

The first movie made $1.4M at midnight in 2012. Of course, box office patterns have changed dramatically (too dramatically, you could say) since then.

Waiting for May 6th.

According to BOM, first run as well.

Keanu is surprisingly doing well on Rotten Tomatoes. I wonder if a 25 million plus opening weekend could happen.

[Maxmoser3]

Universal should resurrect the loss of Huntsman with Neighbors 2.

Buzz/marketing feels pretty muted, nothing suggests that Key & Peele have transcended their niche fan base from television, and it's arriving a week before Captain America. Anything over $40M total would be a big win for it.

BIGGEST THEATER DROPS

2016 off to a strong start but it'll take a lot to match 2015, a whopping 8 movies in the top 25

Technically, the all time champ is from 2015 when Universal just pulled Jem from theaters after the 2 week contract was done. CJohn's dreams were crushed that weekend. Don't think a big studio has ever just outright pulled a movie in that fashion for non North Korean threats.

I am here waiting for some Jungle Book numbers.
