Funny story from last night

 

This guy around 20 comes in with his girlfriend. He's wearing a GOTG shirt and says he wants to go to Apocalypse. I was like "sorry but it doesn't open until Friday." He asked if there were any other superhero movies playing and I said "well we do have Civil War which is only here until Thursday."

 

"Nah, I don't like Marvel movies." And he left.

 

Let me tell you that was just him finding an excuse to leave the theater to fuck his girlfriend in the car. How do I know? Because if it wasn't, than no words can even try to make any sense of what the fuck happened there.

Movies. Plural.

[Frozen]

I will see X-Men for sure. Maybe Alice, but the weather here is supposed to be really nice Sunday and Monday, so IDK.

I've already made plans with my Dad to see X-Men.

Deadline is out of their mind again

 

That combo, which together could reach $160M, is set to push the four-day B.O. up by at least 55% over last year’s FSSM total of $194.9M. Last year’s figure was the third-lowest Memorial Day weekend at the box office since 2005 after 2012’s $194M and 2010’s $192.8M. This year’s holiday could potentially rank as the second best with a four-day total of $300M-plus. 2013 posted the best Memorial Day weekend holiday ever with $314.2M.

 

They are calling for 160m for the openers and a 100% hold from the holdovers for the 4 days for 300m+

 

 

 

 

Yeah, $300 million+ for the 4-day won't happen. Neighbors 2, Nice Guys, Angry Birds and Civil War would all have needed to do better this last weekend for that to happen. Plus, Alice 2 would need to break out slightly and X-Men would have to equal DOFP. 

 

I could see this for the 4-day, though:

1. X-Men: $95 million 
2. Alice 2: $65 million 
3. Angry Birds: $30 million 
4. Civil War: $23.5 million 
5. Neighbors 2: $12.5 million 
6. The Nice Guys: $9.5 million 
7. The Jungle Book: $8.5 million 
8. Money Monster: $5 million 
9. Zootopia: $1.5 million
10. The Darkness: $1 million 

Still way below $300 million+

I really think X-Men will disappoint heavily. (Box office wise)

 

I think it's pretty obvious at this point, it will.

No X-Men?

 

Hmmm I can assure you will love Gods of Egypt, tho. In fact, I advise some live blogging while you see it in our Conversation thread 

[Cmasterclay]

Didn't Apocalypse sell more tickets than DOFP overseas, but the dollar valuation has dropped enough to account for a loss in total gross? Maybe I'm confused- I'm a domestic box office guy. Still, I think it's certainly dropping a fair bit. Gopher's numbers look very right to me.

You went through Alice 2? Are you a sadomasochist, dude?
