Looking at the audience scores for STID I think we need to hold back on the myth it was poorly received.

 

The GA enjoyed the movie. It was only a small minority of die hard ST fans that disliked it really.

09 is on FX. I'd be lying if I said this wasn't much better than I remembered it to be. ,(and waayyyyyyyyyyyy better than the other two)

Those films did not have to contend with Star Wars. Rogue one will take a lot of the attention away and should make at least 300m. Sing will be the family movie of December , should do at least 150m. Stars aren't the main attraction for films anymore, Sony has to really sell Passengers and they don't have the best marketing team. I think 130m is a safe prediction because the holidays will help it out. If it gets Oscar's attention then I'll up that number. Assassin's Creed will be lucky to make 50m.

 

Passengers will tell us, so long as it is decent, whether you are right about ALL stars.  A bad picture isn't going to be a blockbuster with anyone, but I personally think a decent/good film with Jennifer Lawrence will do a whole lot better than without her.  Chris Pratt is also well liked, and the two of them together is a draw in itself, imho.

 

I guess we'll find out in December.

Couple issues with comparing ST to F&F though.

 

1. They don't have The Rock and Vin Deisel. 

2. They can't really reinvent the franchise, it is what it is. I don't know if they can bring in a lot of new ticket buyers.

3. They don't have tuna.

Beyond was tons of fun. Sold out crowd seemed to love it. Lin really has a sense of scale that most directors seem to lack.

Star Trek did just fine. It helps that Paramount has nothing else, but Star Trek 4 should happen. Hopefully they'll hire someone better at marketing so we get more stuff like this:

 

 

 

 

And less like this:

 

 

 

 

I don't remember seeing the '09 trailers before --- and they are terrific.  I liked and unliked your post just so I could like it again.

So Dory only has $30 million left in the tank, even with a $7.2 million weekend?

I'm GA and I liked it, but not nearly as much as '09, and less than Beyond.

"Only?"  Getting to 490m is still like a 5x multi off of this weekend. Hardly anything to sneeze at. It will need a ton of help from Disney with a big expansion push to get to 500, and probably some fudging even still in all honesty.

Speaking of which, my theater is a PokeStop and they have a sign up now saying "Catch Pokemon in the lobby, NOT in the auditoriums" with a red-circle-slash over Pikachu lol

you forgot this one 

 

[narniadis]

that whole Tickets and Concessions thing at the same counter makes me dread our closest multi-plex.... NO ticket windo even for busy days and no kiosk for those of us who pre-buy either. So like when we saw Dory I stood in the line for over 30mins to get our pre-bought stubs while others were ordering tixs and popcorn - very annoying.

My mom wants to see Ice Age

In contrast to its indifferent performance in North America, Warner Bros/Village Roadshow’s adventure reboot is enjoying a solid run internationally, where it added an estimated $44.7m from 61 markets to reach $145.7m.
