MEH-MORIAL DAY WEEKEND BOX OFFICE | Abandon all hope, the box office is dead. 3 day weekend #s X-Men 65M, Alice 28.1M, Angry Birds 18.7M, Civil War 15.1M, Neighbors 9.1M. Bad openings, horrible holdovers.

If the difference is 7pm or 8pm I'd agree. But going from 10pm to 7pm makes a big difference to anyone that has a day job.

 

It's never really stopped the diehards, though.

Sub 200 million looks certain

 

And you know this only by looking at the previews number?

Was really hoping for that floppage weren't you

It points towards massive boringness. 90M 4-day or so.

Alice Through the Looking Glass brought in an estimated $1.5 million from Thursday night previews from approximately 2,800-3,000 theaters. As a basis for comparison, Men in Black III opened over Memorial Day weekend in 2012 and brought in $1.55 million from midnight showings before opening with $54.5 million for the three-day and $69.2 million for the four-day, holiday weekend.

So DOFP had the same previews but people predict Apocalypse to fall 20M short of DOFP opening?

 

 

 

DOFP was also a sequel

 

is a sequel to dofp. so more front-loading than dofp.

20th Century Fox’s X-Men: Apocalypse made $8.2M last night from 3,565 theaters with showtimes starting at 7PM, while Disney’s Alice Through the Looking Glassmade $1.5M

LOL I was walking to chem class and passed this smaller group of girls (grade 9 I think) sitting at their lockers and they were like 

"have you seen the fifth wave?"

"Ohmygod I love that movie! Did you see mortal instruments?"

"who do you think I am of course I have!"

I miss high school

[POTUS 2020]

It is under 2m.

MT had it right on x-men to alice %

Why did I raise the bar on my club to 150M  Oh well, at least I likely have another rousing success

Haven't X-Men movies been a sequel since, I don't know, the second one almost 15 years ago? Is that really a big factor for this one?

Also, this one had no IMAX.

 

Anyway, good numbers, it's in line with the optimistic range of predictions I guess. I believe it deserved more though.

 

Yeah. I meant that it's a sequel to DOFP cause was comparing 8.2 vs 8.1.

[mrqe93]

1.5 is bad..

[DAJK]

Alice.

 

I think that messed up my summer game week once again but it's worth it. Disney can't just be invincible all the time I guess.

Didn't know you raised the bar. I had gone In with ~135m

Success though.

There's this little comic in my Chem textbook that I hate every time I look at it.

 

"The name's Bond. Ionic Bond."

[Blaze Heatnix]

It's a good number for Apocalypse.

 

Some people want this movie to fail ( I wonder why ), which means any positive news are gonna be downplayed by haters. Just relax, guys.

 

 

I also think it's gonna have better legs than BVS. I can't believe that BVS has such pathetic multiplier. It didn't even manage to double its opening weekend numbers.

[LexJoker]

The floppage we deserve.
