The slow death of the mid-budget movie is definitely the saddest trend of the last decade.

 

I still think there are plenty, but they get shoved into Sept/Oct now.

FTF is down 41% from last week while The V is down 64%

There's nothing Not Bad about it. 26 mill OW is probably more than any of us thought it would do in total.

Plus, its previews started at 6pm (2 hours earlier than Trainwreck) and it earned an A in Cinemascore which that and Spy did not do. Saturday should be very kind to it today especially with positive feedback on social media and Flixster.

Legend of Tarzan got destroyed by Jason Bourne

Bourne's gonna drop 55%+ next weekend 

 

And I am prepared for it. No problem. I am expecting a 56-58% against a 100M+ opener. Still better than a 61% drop against a 60M opener And Trek will be below 10M next weekend after another brutal 56-59% drop

 

 

[baumer]

The Bourne Ultimatum fell 53% in its second weekend. Even if Jason Bourne does fall 45% against Suicide Squad that would be more than normal. Star Trek falling 60% is just hilarious.

[Ethan Hunt]

Looking like another good weekend at the casion for me. I've been doing pretty well this Summer (with the exception of having a couple big bets against SLOP)

55% would be a totally normal drop. After Suicide Squad it has a totally clear playing field

Not really, 3 wide releases each week will force theaters to clear things out a bit.

There will always be awards contenders, but 'plenty' is certainly not a word I'd use to describe the state of the mid-budget film at this point. The fact that they're all shoved into a very small window kinda confirms that.

Sorry bro, but it is. Identity is the only Bourne movie that didn't drop 52%+ in its second weekend.

 

Well duh

 

Name a reason why it the first movie didn't fall over 50% and that's because it was the first movie LOL the sequels were bound to fall over 50% in their second weekend because there's more upfront and then to see them. This is box office one on one dude.

[POTUS 2020]

how does a POS like IA5 hold 50%

[DAJK]

Well I for one am pleased with that Bourne number.

[WrathOfHan]

Some ugly ass week to week holds across the board, it's going to be even worse next weekend when we have a 120M+ opener destroying everything.

That's one way of looking at it another way is that it lost around 1000 theaters so it's bound to drop massively this weekend.

except none of those will likely do good. After Suicide Squad it should be similar to August 2015 where every movie had good holds due to lack of competition

[Bishop54]

Nice bump for Lights Out.
