Weekend Actuals (Page 75): X-MEN 103.3M OS OW | Angry Birds 38.15M | Captain America 32.9M (Ahoy Matey!!) | Neighbors 21.7M | The Nice Guys 11.2M | Jungle Book 10.9M

THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE has a bigger worldwide weekend total than X-MEN: APOCALYPSE since its domestic number is included. X-M: A only has the overseas territories. It means its opening is lower than 94 M.

What is the average number of movies an American watches every year? I usually watch 25-30.

In theaters? About a half dozen. 

 

Roughly 3.67 is the mean.

Gotta say though, Summer hasn't been very interesting so far. And next week probably won't be a barn burner between X-Men and Alice 2 (costing me BO Casino points if Apocalypse doesn't beat at least 78M on the 3-day, which it probably won't because fuck my life). To the loonies of anti-Pixar movements, let me remind you that if Finding Dory underperforms, you'll have pretty much jackshit to chew on during the Summer unless Suicide Squad, Pets and Bourne become juggernauts.

 

Dory will be big, but probably won't overperform significantly either. I mean, I guess instead of one huge juggernaut, Disney has 4 billion dollar films so that's nice for them anyways. 

 

Bourne could be a surprise. It's been many years since the last film so audiences might be hungry again.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR made an estimated $33.11M this weekend, down 54 percent. It's now earned $347.39 total. #CaptainAmerica #CivilWar

Because since Avengers, Ultron, Jurassic World & Force Awakens everybody stupidly convinced themselves that doing 1,5B WW is no biggie.

 

Most people swallowed the hilarious Ultron was a disapointment kool-aid.

 

Oh and everybody ALSO convinced themselves Captain America : Civil War was called Avengers 3 on the billboards.

 

Also, everybody stupidly forgot that Civil War is the THIRD big superhero movie in just 3 months, something that has never happened in the history of film, followed by a FOURTH big superhero 3 weeks later.

 

 

Maybe piracy had a little to do with it but I doubt it's the main factor.

 

I think most people (including myself)  assumed Civil War would play like an Avengers movie overseas.  The hardcore fans showed up for the first couple of weeks and since been dropping.

 

The reality is that it's playing more like an enhanced Cap movie or mini Avengers. I'm pretty sure if it was an Iron Man focused movie, it would of flown by 800+ million OS with ease. Cap simply is not popular enough to headline a 1.5 billion movie especially if it requires viewing from the previous Cap movies that were not THAT popular to begin with.

Bit disappointing for The Nice Guys, no?

The word failure or disappointment is being thrown around

Unless they just haven't gotten the X-Men numbers yet! lol

Which is bad. If you take out the same countries in DoFP OS OW where Apocalypse didn't opened it did around 120M.

A bit, but it was always going to be niche anyway. I never thought it could recover its budget domestically.

It's especially bad given that many countries had a 5-day weekend for Xmen compared to Angry Birds 3 day.

It did as well as it could being a niche title.

Just anecdotal, but talking to my casual moviegoer friends, a lot of them don't relate well at all to Captain America (I can imagine it's even worse overseas) and only liked Winter Soldier cause of the supporting cast. The GA is not like the internet nerd crowd that loves Cap.

Is it even making $750m OS at the rate it is dropping?

 

Was on 645m OS last weekend.

This week it added 61m (30.3 weekdays + 30.7m weekend) more, taking the OS to 706m.

So is just 44m away from 750m. It should happen imo.

 

I think it will make 50-55m more for 756-761m final, which is 45-50m behind IM3's 806m.

(It's trailing IM3 by ~30m right now. It was trailing by 20m last weekend. So the gap increased by a big 10m in just 1 week. Will probably increase by 15-20m more in the entire remaining run)

 

756-761m/409-414m/1.165-1.175b

See. That's why they can't see every comic book movie or animated movie out there. Also, big movies are now released almost every month breaking the tradition of having the biggest ones typically released in Summer and the holiday season. For an average joe, he would probably follow the first come, first serve rule lol.

More anecdotal evidence: all my friends were team Iron Man except two and we were like 20 people watching CW in theaters.

I think you missed the point. The GA has already spent for two CBMs plus the family films that are ZOOTOPIA and THE JUNGLE BOOK. They have grossed more than 1.3 B combined. The 2014 movies you mentioned only made almost 700 M.

 

Not to mention that BvS & Civil War have the same premises.

 

Also 2014 :

 

Winter Soldier : 258

Days of Future Past : 233

Spidey 2 : 200

 

691m

 

2016 :

Deadpool : 360

BvS : 328

Civil War : 400

Apocalypse : 180

 

1,27B

 

Welcome to the market saturation world people.

Maybe for geeks like us, we can afford to watch these cbms and big family films every month, but for members of the GA especially families, it would be difficult.

is going to the movies really so expensive now that families and couples (the other large demographics besides younger single males) can't afford to go once a month?  i don't really buy (no pun intended) that economics is the reason movie viewership might be going down, unless piracy erosion really is a thing and it could be.  i tend not to go because nothing really grabs my interest (i have to be pretty hyped up for a movie to go), or because as someone mentioned before, only blockbusters can really bring in business as no one really feels a need to go to a theater for a small or mid budget film (and these are the films that don't need HD rips, which take longer to appear, to enjoy).
