The holiday frames aren't what they used to be. This isn't even among the 5 biggest weekends of the year so far. Oof.

Perfect 5/7 post. Would like again. Laughed for a good solid minute.

X-Meh continues his performance OS and DOM. 55M OS weekend. Kinda crappy tbh. 

[Blankments]

So to someone who's been away from the box office all weekend: does this mean Angry Birds and Alice won't hit 100M??

Alice might not even make a fraction of the first one. It might end up with an even worse retention % than My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, something that probably would've been considered insane just a week ago.

It had a 100 million opening for its first weekend overseas, it made 30 million more during the week and 55 million for its second weekend.

 

I say that's a good hold, by all means. It dropped less than 50% overall and still managed to hold Alice quite well. 

 

It still has China and Japan coming around.  This can easily get to 400-430 overseas, if not a little more. 600 million worldwide still possible.

 

X-men won't need to worry about Alice and Warcraft ( predicted to flop ), regarding domestic box office.  TMNT 2 is probably the one that might give a run for its money.

 

 

All in all, 600-610 million for X-Men possible.

Possibly, makes me mad too because I had all three pegged just under 100m, and last minute put Alice on my summer list.

[DAJK]

Expecting 40M for Turtles and 15M for me before u next weekend. 5M for Popstar.

[The Panda]

We need Dory to save us all.  It's the only sequel this summer (besides Civil War) that I don't see disappointing.

[AJG]

I won't be surprised if Fox scrap the future Xmen film and focuses more on Xforce, I think they might rework New Mutants to become "X-Men: New Mutants" just because of the rights issues.

people compare Civil War to the HP films. It is actually holding worse than most HP films. It is also the worst Memorial Day fall of any May superhero movie

Expectations are so high that Dory will disappoint too! Just like Civil War

So where's all the people who claimed "Jennifer Lawrence is a box office draw" even after Joy? Do they still think she is now?

I don't think there's any actor that's a Box Office draw nowadays.
