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.

I enjoyed Alice in Wonderland. Mostly because of the wacky visuals and the beautiful ass score.

I do wonder if ARCLIGHT has issues with the summer slate, though, since they announced in theater that they will be showing Jurrasic Park in June, and a bunch of other old block busters over the summer.   https://www.arclightcinemas.com/en/locations/los-angeles/sherman-oaks/showtimes/?ItemId={4D3EE2D0-2337-4C56-A103-B5CA6FB924D9}

 

Maybe it's just a thing they do that I never noticed before.

 

You're correct.

They also released Prince of Persia on Memorial Day weekend as well. Should probably stay away from this weekend for now on.

 

Should probably put better movies their instead.

I just figured that this would be a break out film, cause you know, it's bigger in scale and it looks great.

For the 2nd year in a row Disney dumps a big-budget movie on Memorial Day weekend with minimal advertising.

 

After what happened with Tomorrowland (which had better reviews) I am not surprised at all that Alice 2 is flopping so hard.

 

Disney's live action division has released one major flop in most years. John Carter, The Lone Ranger, Tomorrowland and now this. The execs keep approving swollen budgets for favored directors and/or stars, seemingly without regard to the quality of the projects. When it comes time to account for the losses to shareholders, Bob Iger shifts the blame onto Disney's other film units for not making enough green to wipe out the red in his ledger.

As everyone has already said, Pirates will drop again in 2017, but Memorial Day 2018 has the Han Solo film.

 

So at least this should be a decent weekend in 2018.

Huh? None of the X-men films ever did close to 300m.

You guys talk a lot about how strong are the 4th of July and Memorial Day Weekends but all I see every year on these weekends are bombs.

[cannastop]

I see a lot of people playing the summer game are predicting that Zootopia is going to end up in the top 10 again.

I seriously doubt it.
