Tramsformers still won't make nearly as much as BatB, F8 or TLJ, so it won't even come close to winning the year. I'm pretty sure Paramount doesn't give a crap whether TF5 makes more than Pirates 5 as long as it makes a profit, so why do you care? Excuse me? I compare it to any movie that I want, we're on a Box Office forum to discuss about numbers, and comparisons makes part of this discussion. And just for your information, I'm comparing both movies because I'm pretty sure that TF is going to follow the same pattern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisson23 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) PotC5 not even will make 1/3 of Avatar's os numbers. I really expected more. This is a unique franchise. Edited May 28, 2017 by alisson23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KP1025 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Comparing to Avatar makes everything look poor in comparison when it's not. For example, only 4 other films have even surpassed 50% of Avatar's OS gross. F8 is only at 49% of Avatar's OS haul so far, yet nobody would say that it's anything short of a terrific OS performance. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every movie wants Avatar numbers because Avatar is by far the biggest grosser ever. comparing films to Avatar numbers just makes everything look bad and seems pointless to me as it's so obvious. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Russia is terrific while UK is horrific even if you take out the weather factor. DMC almost did 100m in UK 11 years back, with wonder woman opening next week(UK is a market it should do well), I could see Pirates miss 25m. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Russia generated $18.1m for the biggest opening weekend in industry history and 84% market share. This is 37% ahead of Pirates 4 opening weekend and already exceeds the entire run of Pirates 3. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
