That means Trek is second :ohmygod: 

 

Seems likely. Bad Moms will do maybe 5.5 million tomorrow, and Star Trek will do about 7 million. Their Fridays and Saturdays combined are nearly interchangeable.

You sure about that? That would be a Sunday drop over 25%.

 

High Saturday jump makes me think Sunday drop will be a bit harsher. Could see as high as 23.7 million. Let's go with 23.5.

Okay, I'm gonna do a very awful attempt at incorporating the titles of all summer movies into a very idiotic story:

 

One day, a group of friends were talking about the Civil War while in The Darkness, when one guy had an idea to do a reenactment of one of the battles for money.  One of the other friends said "God, you really are a Money Monster."  He then responds with "Don't be such an Angry Bird, we can invite all of our Neighbors and they'll pay money for our crappy reenactment!"  He then responds with "I don't want to rip off our neighbors, they seem like such Nice Guys."  He walked out of the room while everyone else exchanged ideas, before someone decided to do an exaggeration of a battle.  "Maybe we can come up with a fake Civil War battle that took place during the Apocalypse and follows a girl named Alice!  She can also be a Popstar."  Everyone acknowledged him as a fucking idiot and they kicked him out just as he was about to pitch his idea for them to be attacked by Mutant Turtles.  There were now 3 people left.  Two of the three people left kept talking at the same time when one of them said "It should be Me Before You..."  Reluctantly, he let him talk first.  Realizing that no one could see him giving that they were in the dark, he turned on the lights and said "okay, Now You See Me."  As he was walking back to where everyone was sitting, he tripped over his copy of World of Warcraft and decided to run out of there to play the game.  "Okay, I need help Conjuring up ideas now that it's just me and you." Just then, their friend named Dory walked into the room and said "IM BEING CHASED BY CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE, HELP ME RUN THE FUCK AWAY."  One of the guys said "Why did you say Central Inteligence instead of CIA?"  "BECAUSE THE PERSON WHO WROTE THIS HAD TO HAVE THE WORD CENTRAL INTELIGENCE SHOEHORNED IN THERE SOMEWHERE SO HE CAN MAKE HIS GOAL COME TRUE."  As they all were trying to find a way to escape the room, they decided to jump out the window into a lake.  Once they swam to the Shallows of the water, they heard fireworks going off nearby.  "Why are they going off when it's not even Independence Day?"  Dory said "Fuck that shit, we gotta run and find a USB drive called The Neon Demon.  Basically, I stole a copy of that movie from theaters and distributed illegal copies of it online.  I also have kind of a bad track record of doing this, but this is the first time I've been caught."  One of the guys asked "Do you have a copy of Free State of Jones?"  Dory replied "No, but I have a copy of The Legend of Tarzan!"  The other guy said "Aren't you on the run from cops trying to Purge you?" Dory responded "Fine, we'll do a double feature of Tarzan and The BFG after we outrun the cops."  (Also the two main characters are called Mike and Dave because I had to shoehorn this movie in here at this moment and I couldn't figure out how so here you go).  After they run through a nearby forest, they emerge into a local city and hide in a Pets store.  Unfortunately, the pet store worker used to be a manager at a theater that Dory stole movies from.  He said "there's the person that Infiltrated a whole lot of my movies!"  As this happened, a swarm of Ghosts emerged from the back storage closet and began attaching the trio.  However, Mike turned all the Lights Out.  These ghosts were not made to be exposed to darkness however, and as such, the darkness caused the ghosts to create a portal, and they were sucked Beyond another dimension into another galaxy and another solar system, and landed on another planet in the middle of an Ice Age, with the only other person there being Jason Bourne.  Dave said "JESUS CHRIST THATS JASON BOURNE."  Dory said "I just realized I had kids at home.  Damn I'm such a Bad Mom."  Mike said "you really had a Nerve to go on this adventure with your kids at home."  As Jason Bourne committed Suicide for unknown reasons, they realized that everything on this planet had Nine Lives, including them, for unknown reasons.  Dory used up all of hers quickly, but found a way to reemerge under the name Florence.  Mike and Dave decided to throw a party with all the other males on this planet and have a Sausage Party.  While they were there, they met a guy named Pete who had a dragon, someone named Kubo, and someone else named Ben-Hur.  They decided to try and help them return home.  They decided to recruit a couple of Dogs that helped out in this planet's War.  They used Pete's dragon to ride their way to the edge of the planet, where Ben-Hur and Kubo used their Hands of Stone to open the portal.  Before they left, Pete had one word of advice: "While going through the portal, just Don't Breathe."  As such, Mike and Dave were able to return home...200 years in the future from where the first left.

 

THE END

 

Epilogue: Florence still lives in the planet working as a successful Mechanic.

 

Post credits scene: Mike looks across an ocean and says "Look!  I see a Light Between Oceans!"

I'll post my thoughts on Jason Bourne and Bad Moms in the morning in the review threads but I will say this: the latter is going to have insane word-of-mouth. It's been years since I saw a movie where the audience was literally screaming with laughter through portions of the movie as much as this one.

I meant in the long run goof.

 

But yeah, I can't imagine the word-of-mouth being anything but strong. Most of the audience stayed for the end credits (which includes interviews with the actresses and their real-life moms).

Hopefully, but maybe Nine Lives can sneak in at #3. Depends on how hard Beyond is hit. I'm not so sure it stays above 10 million next weekend.

The WOM better start kicking in because that Saturday drop is just awful. It's looking at a $23M three day after previews had it at $30M+.

Bad Moms and Nerve are two films this weekend that I thought were going to surprise after seeing their preview numbers and they turn in this shit performance? Good-bye. 

Well, we are in summer now. People don't have to wait until Saturday or Sunday, for the most part.

Drops from a true Friday to Saturday are not good. Summer or not. Let's not excuse their performances. Especially Bad Moms. Nerve is at least still within its 5 day range. Bad Moms just nose dived off of a damn cliff.
