Weekend #s STB 59.6M, Pets 29.3M, GB and LO 21.6M, IA5 21M

Would definitely get a 3x for sure if not for Bourne and SS being unusual factors but I hope it can pull it off in spite of that. I hope it can reach 180. I suppose ID managed it despite Fast and Furious 6 and a crowded Memorial Day weekend so we'll see.

 

As Spock said, we will find hope in the impossible

Star Trek's OD will be on par with Ant-Man but it's going to increase tomorrow, 60M is locked.

 

It won't increase, will decrease from Friday, maybe 20M tomorrow. Probably 57-58M.

[Mojoguy]

So is this is going to be the last Trek film until the TNG reboot?

Good movies, but the DOM just keeps on decreasing...

It will, Bourne won't be much of a threat and SS will only affect it (and everything else) on OW

I think it'll depend more on whether there's any growth in the overseas markets if at all.

 

South America/Asia will have to pick up the slack because it'll probably drop in Europe.

Ice Age won't hit 7M today at my theatre. 6.8 seems like the best case scenario at this point. Will give better numbers when I have a better idea of the late shows. Pets likely 9.5-9.9M.

Pets in its THIRD weekend beating IA5 in its first is a fucking embarrassment for Ice Age!

It's RT score is almost Norm of The North levels.  It's lucky to get $19m

I don't know about you guys, but when Paramount saw that Universal scheduled JB for July 29th, they were like

Potential fudge by Fox this weekend?

 

No amount of fudging will make the IA number look good.

This new Trek cast is just so great, that I kind of feel bad for them. These new Trek movies deserve TFA level kinds of success!

Of course Bourne will he a threat.

So they just announced The Woods is actually a sequel to Blair Witch (titled Blair Witch).  The hilarious irony is that when the trailer came on for it during LO just today, someone said "woah, this looks like Blair Witch!"

When I first seen the trailer I figured it was a secret Blair Witch sequel especially since it was coming from Lionsgate who has the rights to Blair Witch.

so 20m weekend for Ghostbusters? Looks definitely under 150m now. Can it do much better than 300m WW?

 

STB  will likely come under Warcraft worldwide unless it does well in China

Don't most sequels usually decrease from their predecessor?  It may be that the studios want a sequel that outperforms the original in box office total, but it is more likely they are going to get a drop off.  Look at what happened to Alice in Wonderland to Alice Through the Looking Glass, or TMNT 2014 to TMNT: Out of the Shadows.  Both of those sequels had a steep drop from their previous movies.  And when compared to those drop offs, Star Trek doesn't look anywhere as bad.  The concept of there being a point where a franchise is saturated, as in it can make no more than the previous movie's box office total, is not one the studios want to market.  They always want to believe every movie can be like Star Wars: The Force Awakens or Captain America: Civil War, where the sequel can make much more than the previous entry in the franchise.

reboting it would do waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more harm than good. what are the odds of getting a cast this good again?

[TLK]

I am interested in numbers for Absolutely Fabulous. It is in only 300 theaters but it looks like it is doing very well in big cities.

[filmlover]

It's gonna be so fascinating seeing how AbFab The Movie does and how frontloaded it ends up being. There were a handful of people dressed up in costume as Edina and Patsy (or in the case of one crazy old lady, Edina's kooky assistant Bubble) or wearing AbFab shirts in the lobby. LMAO. I always knew the show had its devoted fanbase but never thought they were this fanatical.

At this point, it's a better better for Fox to have Blue Sky make original movies rather than continue Ice Age.
