It is not a Summer blockbuster, doesn't count. 

 

But it has been superior to every non-aquatic summer blockbuster so far this year

First Tele likes a Summer movie and now people are cumming all over seeing SULLY, of all fucking movies, in IMAX. Unreal day. 

I mean, you need to see the trailer on a true IMAX screen. Films shot in IMAX tend to look good on those...

Ghostbusters should be well over 5 I think. It won't drop 60%.

 

Nope.

Ugh lol no breaks this week apparently. However the stronger the Monday drop the better the Tuesday increases have been at least here lately. 

[baumer]

Really? Wow. That's surprising

I think the legs are going to be poor, especially with Star Trek/Bourne stealing away the action crowd, Lights Out stealing the couples, and Bad Moms stealing the female and comedy crowd.

Top secret info there, but I already hinted at it.  

[EmpireCity]

Here is another hint, Secret Life of Pets is running very similar to Inside Out.  

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Ouch. After seeing the movie, I'm sad it's probably gonna end up doing really poorly. Would have loved a sequel.

It is too bad the marketing approach they took didn't do the movie any favors.  It likely limps over $100m and might struggle to hit $250m overall.

I will bet you two months of gold account Ghostbusters does at least 125 million.

Yeah, the marketing was terrible and doomed it from the start.

Ghostbusters is probably the best studio movie this summer outside of Popstar, honestly. An excellent reboot/reinvention. I still think it will have great legs. It performed more like a family film this weekend.

So 6.7m for Pets for a 42-43% Monday-to-Monday drop. For comparison, Minions dropped 55% from it's first Monday. So drops are at the halfway between Minions and IO. Pretty good.

Higher.  

[goldenstate5]

Wow. Not bad.

 

So I'm guessing $4 to $5 mil for GB?

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

@Telemachos is going have to update his underseen/under-appreciated list

Ohhh, so it made the same as IO. I though you meant the Sun-Mon drop. That's awesome then. If it hits 6.9m like IO that means a 40-41% drop. I think it might still beat IO's total.
