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.

The trailer for Alice 2 was lame.

Now that you mention it, tried to recollect what it was about and I am blank.

Alice 2 might bomb harder than we expect. I still can't see it going below Tomorrowland.

[filmlover]

So Alice Through the Looking Glass is going to make less in total than the first movie made in its opening weekend. Woof.

 

You know, I was actually planning on seeing this since I quite liked the first movie, but this looks like the textbook definition of an unnecessary sequel that didn't need to be made, so I'm kinda thinking that we'll pass on it now.

I thought sub $50M 4 day was a legit possibility but below $40M?!

 

Now. Can we all finally admit Depp is toxic? This is a sign of things to come next July with Pirates 5.

I can. With major family audience competition next week in TMNT2 its legs will be affected for sure, and if it opens to Tomorrowland numbers I can also see it sharing IMAX with TMNT2 next weekend similar to how Tomorrowland had to share with San Andreas. 

 

TMNT2 will open lower than 1 but I still see it being good for O/U 50M.

BFG is gonna flop spectacularly. Dory is gonna beat it on that weekend lol.

 

I can see Pete"s Dragon having a solid run until Storks in late September even if it has a 20-25M OW.

Pete's Dragon will do around 60-70m

The BFG will do around 100-110m

There's a sequel coming out every weekend for the next 5 weekends  TMNT isn't generating much buzz, wouldn't be surprised if it goes below 50M. Previews start at 5 PM as well, so anything below the first's is a disaster. NYSM2 is currently tracking mid to high-20's but low-20's wouldn't surprise me either. The Conjuring is poised to breakout.

Swap them and I agree.

And Warcraft looks like it will replicate Pacific Rim's performance, but lower.

To be honest, neither X Men nor Alice look good, hence why I went last night to see Jungle book for a third time.

Disney is still looking at a record breaking year.

I'm only predicting 43M for turtles.

Given how much I hated the first Alice and how Tim Burton basically ripped my heart out, spat on it, stomped on it, pissed on it, then buried it under ten kilotons of cow dung:

 

 

This movie is only deserving of maybe $1.00.......doesn't even deserve a footlong at subway.

TMNT2 doesn't have IMAX in any country. I doubt it is released in the format. I can see Apocalypse getting IMAX DOM next week, tho.

Alice's under-performance will help out Angry Birds.

It's never really stopped the diehards, though. 

 

Of course not but the 7pm (and now 6pm) shows rope in the non die hards, it's just another night at the movies.

[grey ghost]

Both Neighbors and Alice is gonna miss the top 15 DOM for the Summer Game.

 

Maybe I should give up now. 

[Blackout]

hope X-Men overperforms and proves these haters wrong!

I'm not saying Sacha Cohen and Chloe Moretz are box office poison but it can't be a coincidence their movies almost always flop.
