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 instantly like that more.

i once saw someone suggest nick offerman for that part instead. would have made it a very special film.

Apocalypse is far from being a flop or disaster. Fox should be glad that Alice is flopping and Warcraft is predicted to get low domestic numbers. 

 

Overseas grosses are fine on their own. It dropped less than 50% overall ( if compared to its opening overseas weekend of 100 million ). It has China and Japan to make a good money, and some money from the rest of the markets where's holding well against Alice and even Warcraft. Yeah, TMNT 2 might break a lot of things, but usually the worst performing movies ( Alice ) will be broken first and usually bigger.

 

600 million for X-Men Apocalypse possible!

Be happy, Apocalypse.

They spent a fuckton blowing up a city and it's gonna drop 150M from the last one, it ain't good. Prepare for the X-Men franchise to become Deadpool-centric

My point is that we went from "it's going to have super long legs!" to "not every franchise can be as consistent as Potter" real quick

 

I thought CW would have better legs.

 

And I also said Harry Potter's only advantage over the other big franchises is consistency.

 

There's zero relation between these two claims.

 

If no one is allowed to make a casual observation after making a bad box office prediction then just shut down the forums now.

HP had 8 movies and none of them came close to the Avenger movies DOM or WW.

 

MCU has characters who used to be B-listers like Iron Man and Cap making more money than the vast majority of Harry Potter movies.

 

Looking ahead you have Fantastic Beasts for HP compared to countless titles for MCU.

 

HP is the most consistent franchise but that's about it. 

 

 

 

None of them came close? The only reason is because of inflation, and nothing else.

 

DH2 did almost 88% of Avenger's worldwide gross and beat it overseas with lower 3D shares. 

 

PS - $974m (2001)

CoS - $878m (2002)

PoA - $795m (2004)

GoF - $896m (2005)

OoTP - $939m (2007)

HBP - $934m (2009)

DH1 - $961m (2010)

 

All 2D.

 

DH2 - $1.34b (2011) with low 3D shares. 

 

Potter was a bigger phenomenon than the MCU overall. This is not even disputed, ESPECIALLY when it comes to ticket sales.

600m for x-men is gone. Not happening. It will settle around 550ww. Pathetic considering the brand.

Deadpool 2 might have to be the greatest superhero movie in history.

 

There's so much riding on it. Remember what happened to all of Sony's plans after TASM 2 flopped/sucked?

The Marvel loonies' constant need for validation that their franchise is the bestest, still one of the worst aspects of this board

 

But it's okay to trash MCU?

 

Double standard much?

YEAH. SHOW THEM THE TRUTH NOCTIS.

The weekend estimates are somewhat hilarious in not even trying to hide the fudge. 65M on the dot, 28.1M, 15.1M, 9.1M. Sunday estimates were made to hit figures slightly above the million mark.

It will probably stop Jungle Book 2 as well. 

Nah, if they fast-track Jungle Book 2 and get it out by 2018, I feel like there'd still be a decent audience for it. Although it will definitely drop, could still do about 800M WW.

Deadpool 2 has VISIONARY AUTEUR TIM MILLER on the director seat. It will do fine.

Nobody is trashing the MCU. Civil War had shit legs. That is all. The more advanced a franchise is the more that happens. Normal stuff.

Yeah but I'd put money of Deadpool 2 succeeding tho.
