But even his legs were terrible. It opened above Iron Man 3 pretty much everywhere and the only place where it stayed above Iron Man 3 was Portugal apparently. And it will end below it DOM and OS.

CW was bigger than IM3 in several markets and in local currencies made more OS than IM3. 

 

The strong dollar from 2015 on hurts any film in comparison to 2012 or 2013 from Europe to Mexico to Japan to Australia (the latter three down about 25%).  Then there are the collapses of currency in Brazil, Russia and Venezuela. eg:  CW passed Avengers as the biggest film in local currency in Brazil but will make about $23m less.  Venezuela's B.O. receipts are no longer being artificially propped with bogus totals that never made it to the studio anyway. So what was $20m last year is about $2m this year if that.

A big animated film with 136 million opened.

 

Zootopia an exception, normally a big animated film coming out really really seems to hurt other animated films in the market. Guess the genre doesn't really support that much kind of competition typically.

No one thought it would be this bad for Angry Birds. It totally missed the top 10, so in some respects, it shouldn't have been on the derby!

And Zootopia got some of that Finding Dory love from the drive-ins. Gotta love Disney synergy.

I have just read apparently Depp suspected Amber Heard was cheating him with Cara Delevigne. Holy shit. I need a sex tape of that. My mind is already imagining things. Depp should have had a three way with both. 

 

 

we need another icloud hack for this

CI did better than I was expecting, that budget isn't exactly small either so it needed a decent opening.

I think it'll play like Spy and reach between $100-110M total. Pretty solid hit for all involved.

Mmmmmmmmmm

I have a bet in Casino thread about Dory legs. No way it does 3.5 

[goldenstate5]

Dwayne and Kevin only barely survived while Dory slaughtered the competition, holy shit. So so so happy.

 

(I'm still hoping for a rise with actuals)

[baumer]

I'd have a three way with Amber Heard and the ugliest woman in the world. Wouldn't matter lol

I'm sure it would matter to Amber, on both counts.

It's not a three way if you completely ignore the third person, baumer.

If I had kids there's no way I wouldn't be taking advantage of a Dory/Zoo drive in combo

[Ethan Hunt]

My local drive-in is doing Alice with Dory 

[grey ghost]

Did anyone get the top 3 summer movies correct in the Summer Game assuming the top 3 is:

 

Dory

Civil War

Secret Life of Pets

 

Or

 

Dory

Civil War

Suicide Squad

Perfect! You can watch Dory, and then ditch before Alice stars and be home by 11

I don't see the point in complaining about the lack of staying power for Captain America when if you've looked at everything this year, everything isn't holding on well. The only 50M+ grossing releases to have a 3x multiplier so far this year are the Disney juggernauts, Kung Fu Panda 3, Miracles from Heaven, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2. Now that has to worry studios more than anything else.

To answer my own question (I was bored):

 

Cmasterclay has the Secret Life of Pets completing the top 3. 

 

The Panda has the Suicide Squad completing the top 3.

 

And a couple people have IDR completing the top 3.

 

So basically, almost everyone is screwed.
