Judd Hirsch deserves better.  He's great in everything.

The one huge film per month syndrome is still in effect.

May - CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
June - FINDING DORY
July - THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS
August - SUICIDE SQUAD?

It's go Big or Go Home this summer!

Pets beat minions OD at my theatre today (did about 42M give or take). But Minuons had a crazy Saturday matinee that Pets has no chance of beating. Still, great numbers overall.

 

Oh, and I wasn't huge on Mike and Dave. The cast was great but the movie just wasn't memorable.

I know you're Zootopia focused (to say the least) but you're missing another $300m+ movie from March.

Zootopia was the bigger one.

 

edit:

 

But February and April still fit the trend, no?

Suicide Squad over BVS' OW and over CW DOM. It will happen.

Nah

That movie has already been forgotten by the public, just look at its horrendous legs!

[MovieMan89]

Also Magnificent Seven has potential to be a sleeper 200+ grosser in September. IF the marketing ever kicks in that is.

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

Yup.

But that trend will likely end in September. That month looks pretty solid; I could see Sully, Mag 7 and Storks all doing 100m+

I think  a Western needs an Awards push like True Grit, Revenant or Django now a days to get to that level and there will be too much adult and even action competition in Oct/Nov for it to leg it that high and even they didn't get much past $180m.

Denzel alone nabs it its first 100m pretty easily. WOM+good marketing+any draw power Pratt may have could nab it the other 100.

I want Hotel Transylvania 2 to keep the September OW record until HT3 beaks it.

I think $125-150m is about as far as it can go even if it's a very good film with good WOM and good marketing.

I've looked up Fandango listings for Saturday in multiple markets for Pets. It's utterly insane.

If I ever have kids they'll never be allowed to watch these dumb illuminati movies.

 

Theyre going to watch some good, true movies like The Wizard of Oz, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars, Finding Nemo, Inside Out, Spirited Away, Poltergeist, The Wolf of Wall Street, Blue is the Warmest Color, Holy Motors, Pulp Fiction, Wall-E, The Sound of Music

 

You know whole, good, family films, not these wannabe Minions movies.
