15.TMNT

 

My top 4 have a great chance at being in order.  And I should get 13/15 or 14/15 (bar no other surprise breakout and Sausage Party breaking out), Alice will likely be the one or two misses I have 

Yeah, my top 4 was Civil War, Suicide Squad, Dory, and Pets. Initially though I had it Dory, SS, CW, and Pets. Should have stuck with that, but I knew CW was opening 175+ as we got close and I would have never predicted its legs to be so terrible with the reviews it had. Still thinking SS can beat CW though. It's literally the only choice left this summer for another big live action blockbuster, I think audiences will be ready to swarm to something not animated by early August.

Where are people predicting 140M for SS? We need to send them to a mental institution. 

I expect 150m OW for SS. Why wouldn't it make it? It's online activity is higher than BvS's and CW's and pretty much any other movie since TFA. And that is amazing especially because it is a new property. Why would it open so much below those movies? Saying it won't do that because Dory did not make it is stupid. Animated movies don't open that high. Also, Deadpool made it and it had way way less hype than SS. Plus, SS has basically no competition.

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. 

 

 

you ruined the mental image with that depp threeway business. now i'm just imagining his bloated ass next to them.

SS won't open to 100 mill.

Of course it will. It has SW type hype and it's marketing has been spot on. It will be the highest CBM this year DOM.

You have lost your marbles.  You think this will make more than 400?  

 

LOL, it'll be lucky to do half that.

No it doesn't. If it had SW type hype people would be excited for all the characters, not just Joker and to a lesser extent Harley.

What should full 3-day numbers look like based off similar comparables?

$130m?

I feel pretty good about this early call from the Preview night number. Just missed it, especially if actuals come down a bit cause of Fathers Day. 

[Chaz]

Oh please. Suicide Squad is my most anticipated movie of the year and even I'm not expecting $300m, much less $400m. Get real.

 

Making $200m with a solid opening will be a big win for that movie.

[department store basement]

I do think that SS COULD make gigantic bucks, it just isn't guaranteed to do so at all. SS and Ghostbusters are the two big wildcards of the summer left now that Central Intelligence is out (and not doing amazing business like many predicted) and ID4-2 is an incoming flop.

I think Suicide Squad will be big... I do not however think it will come close to crossing 400M

Since when does it matter how many characters people are excited about lol? It's huge activity is undeniable. It's of no importance why it is there. Just that it is.

SS will do a cool 75/205

[Johnny Tran]

Guys, come on. SS is going to do somewhere between $75M-$85M OW which should be considered a success for this new property.

[WrathOfHan]

I'm expecting 110/270 

[Ethan Hunt]

I'll say 95/260

[Quigley]

I feel like Sunday's number is way underestimated. Both TS3 and IO dropped ~10%, not ~20%.
