Ghostbusters even if it's a 'good' film is going to get shitted on by the GA. They're not even giving it s chance!

 

It's been so talked about that they'll go in decent numbers. At least initially. 

Plus...I really think people are underestimating just how much kids are going to want to see this. 

 

I'm not in the 'can't wait' or 'hater' camp. I like Paul Feig's comedies so am expecting a decent movie. No more, no less.

I'm betting Pets is going to hurt Dory a little more than expected and it ends up missing 500.

Outside of film nerds like me and my parents, literally everyone I know wants to see Ghostbusters

 

I know this is anecdotally speaking, but Feig will deliver at least a serviceable movie and thus it'll do reasonably well still. Certainly bigger than anything this summer so far besides Dory and Civil War

Final domestic gross $474.97m. I think that's what you mean.

Can't wait for Ghostbusters to slay these stupid haters

Um...sure? 

 

Wait, no. Fuck you and whatever you're pulling, the Nolanites remember 2014.

Damn, Warcraft again with a 70% drop, lol.

 

It'll miss 50 million domestic for sure. I don't think it can even make 48 million domestic, thus meaning it'll also miss a 2x multiplier.

 

There's no way producers are happy with these numbers.

The 90's in general was such a mixed bag of awesome and awful when it comes to all things pop culture. 

 

All decades are like that. Its just that people only remember the good once enough time has passed.

Why? Right now I'm feeling buzz going in opposite directions for them

Fox should have fudged and give ID4 a thousand percent Sunday increase or something for exactly 100M weekend

It could drop 50-55% against Pets and Ice Age 5 and still do $500 million+ DOM due to a likely $60 million+ 4-day next weekend and summer weekdays until the second week of August. 

 

TS3 held well against DM1 and IO did against Minions, so Dory could very well drop 35-45% against Pets (same as IO, worse than TS3)

Yup the highest grossing summer movie outside Dory and CW was Apocalypse with only 150 m. 

 

Which is no where close to 400 m. 

 

This has been a absolutely terrible summer. At least 2014 had 200M hits every few weeks.

[EmpireCity]

Lol at this board sometimes.  On the same page we get a post warning studios that they need to make quality films and sequels and then a few posts later someone (not a joking mod) says "fuck Dory".

Pets just had a huge preview number in the UK, so I'm expecting to translate here, despite Pets not having to go against Dory yet in the UK.

 

And it'll go with my theory that family audiences tend to focus more on one animated film at a time. Dory is big enough to buck that potentially, so maybe I'm wrong. Don't have a vested interest one way or another.

[CJohn]

Another epic 70% drop for Warcraft.

Pets is going to lack appeal for older audiences; Dory will get hit but not that much, probably something similar to IO.

Your 3 day totals on Shallows and CI are probably what the 4 day will end up being for them.

Central Intelligence has zero competition this week, so I expect a 15-20% drop over the 4-day. Tarzan/ID4-2 target tentpole crowds. BFG/Dory target families. Purge/Shallows target teens/college kids. CI is the sole broad comedy out, so I expect it to hold. I could see a slightly larger drop, but I prefer to be optimistic. 

 

I said I was bullish on Shallows. I just like seeing good films have legs. $45 million+ and possibly finishing above Purge 3 is a huge victory.

Call it nostalgia but the 90's had more awesome movies than the 00's and 10's.
