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.

Alice 2 was at least three years too late.

I think I might see Neighbors 2 after Apocalypse. Could always use some more Rose Byrne.Plus the next few weeks are already looking like expensive with Ninja Turtles and Popstar, Now You See Me 2 and The Conjuring 2, Finding Dory and Central Intelligence, and Independence Day and Free State of Jones. Although a couple of these could easily become redbox rentals.

That $8.2 million number looks good for X-men.

 

Why are people being so negative?

[WrathOfHan]

The only June movies I have any interest in are Dory, Conjuring, and ID

[filmlover]

The June releases I'm looking forward to are Finding Dory, Independence Day, The Shallows, Central Intelligence, and maybe Free State of Jones. No interest in the rest.

[CJohn]

Looking at the June portuguese schedule, I wanna see TMNT2, Conjuring 2, Warcraft, NYSM2, IDR and Central Intelligence. Maybe Dory as well, I guess.

Independence Day is my most anticipated film next month, I hope it revs up the disasters!

It will take a miracle for Avatar 2 not to drop DOM and WW by at least 50 percent.

 

Avatar is another movie that benefited greatly from the novelty of 3D and has a sequel that is taking way too long to come out.

Only two for me are Dory and yes, Warcraft......as an old fan I must see it, even if it is shit.

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.

 

They didn't write the screenplay, direct or produce it.   They just aren't big enough stars (no one really is now) to boost a movie that sits 27% on RT

 

Considering the source material available for these movies it's a crime that they're so bad.

[Boxofficerules]

I recall predicting that Alice 2 would bomb and someone pounced on me for it.

The difference is that the audience has shown it will be turn up for really good 3D experiences like Gravity, Life of Pi or Jungle Book. Avatar 2 will fall from the first, but Cameron will ensure that the 3D is pretty much top notch and the movie is a must-see in 3D. Alice 1 and Clash of the titans pretty much just said "Here is a movie in 3D, watch it" and the sequels while they had better 3D, the 3D is not a necessity.

Kal is like beetlejuice, say his name too many times and he appears.....

 

So we've said it twice now.....

It's being released on my birthday so I'm hoping it doesn't disappoint. The last movie I got to see on my birthday was Bad Teacher so It was nice to see that the sequel to my favorite disaster movie is being released on the 24th.

Bad for Alice and meh for X men 

[filmlover]

X-Men's numbers are fine. After all, these movies aren't gaining any new fans beyond the people who see them already, and this just looks like more of the same.
