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.

Johnny Depp's mother also passed away a couple days ago. It's been a rough week.

My wife's obsession with Finding Nemo probably inflated my prediction quite a bit.

 

If Dory doesn't do well I'm going to a divorce lawyer.

 

I take the summer game very seriously.

Better than expected for X-Men. Alice underperforming might help it out.

[misafeco]

Solid number for Apocalypse. Should do 90+ for the 4-day weekend and at least 180M total. That's not as bad as it could've been. 180/440/620.

We can't do this here.

I really wish Midnight Special, Sing Street, and Everybody Wants Some would've released semi-wide this month rather than last; there's even less good stuff in theaters now

 

Like I have to go see Civil War again next Wednesday literally just because there's nothing good out besides it and The Nice Guys

 

Yeah, we'll be seeing Civil War again on Memorial Day.  X-men and Alice were strongly "no-ed'

Every Fourth of July release will be below Dory and ID  The Purge is the only one with a chance at winning.

Possibly Central Intelligence, too. If it ends up with a hefty OW and great WOM.

Alice 2 bombs. X-Men surprises. Holdovers are stronger than ever.(an early prediction).

I could see Angry Birds finishing within $5 million of Alice 2 over the 4 day  it's not that crazy for a $30-35 million 4 day to happen 

 

Civil War, Neighbors 2, Nice Guys, JB, Money Monster and Zootopia all should hold well, too since Alice 2 is bombing hard and X-Men might only do 75-80 for the 4 day

Zootopia lost 60% of its theaters so unless it gets double features with Alice it's gonna take a dive

[#ED]

That's way better for X-Men than I thought it would do.

If Alice 2 flops, what's to blame?

Depp or piracy?

[Jake Gittes]

Not kidding when I say the most interesting thing going on for me BO-wise is The Lobster's expansion. If A24 actually manages to get something that idiosyncratic and singular into even a semi-wide release for a couple of weeks it'll be amazing. So far it's holding OK too.

Both. People may only want to see Depp as a pirate in movies.

I noticed that Depp wasn't even a main focus in the trailers, sad.

Somebody already made a Jack Sparrow joke. They should have waited until now.

Disney will still pay him for Pirates. They want that billion.

 

Pirates is already filmed. It will be released. Disney will pay off Amber to go away. 

[MrFanaticGuy34]

Hmm.....

 

Am i the only one that feels bothered that BOM somehow updated The Lion King's WW-gross from $987M WW....down to $968M WW???

 

Didn't anyone else notice that at all?
