This Summer is the result of studios moving towards a tentpoles every week kind of schedule. Bombs every week because people are not gonna go to the movies every week to see every sequel produced lol.

It's also the result of a lot of us having unrealistic expectations and then being in turn disappointed. I'm guilty of that as well.

Edit: Very wrong thread. Pay no mind!

We didn't get CW numbers till past 11 EST

Pretty good for Apocalypse, all things considered.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Nice, better than I thought it would get. Sweet!

Similar number for a sequel (8.2 vs 8.1) means smaller OW due to higher front-loading. But that was expected. At least it matched the previews.

[Chaz]

$90 million will happen for the four day. Not bad.

[Samarus]

If I remember correctly the previews started a little bit earlier, so I think well get 85-95 for the 4 day

[EmpireCity]

From everything I can see, Alice performed like absolute crap in previews and doesn't look much better today.  

[WrathOfHan]

[filmnerdjamie]

So far, so good.

 

Performing exactly as expected. AKA: no meltdowns at the moment. Translation: boring.
