Beyond would have never opened to 60m in October. Gravity and Martian opened so high in October because of all the buzz, but that's far from a normal occurrence for an October OW. Also Girl on the Train, Jack Reacher, Inferno, The Accountant. The month is definitely stacked with adult skewing films, and at least two of those will do well. 

 

 

if Star Trek had opened in October Jack Reacher would likely have released in winter 2017 since they are both Paramount

Who is excited by the Bumblebee Movie and the TFCU ?

 

Anyone ?

I am ok with more movies in the main franchise. Couldn't care less about turning it into a TFCU. I still don't believe the Bumblebee movie will happen.

It should make around $80-100M. Around half of Gone Girl, which is hardly surprising.

So far there hasn't been much buzz around the trailers, it won't surprise me if it does like 60M.

In retrospect Beyond should have probably followed the two previous films and gone for May 20 from the start.

Yeah, this would have been the best release date in all likelihood. Not that I think it really mattered.

I honestly think it would. Jack Reacher would have moved to early 2017. Inferno is being dumped on October 28. The Accountant and The Girl on the Train are not blockbusters.

Inferno will make its money from OS, domestic isn't an issue unless it's super expensive. I imagine Sony will be happy with a $30-35m OW and $100m total

The book was a popular bestseller among women (heck, earlier today while taking Jr. out for a stroll I overheard two women passing by talking about having read the book and wanting to see the movie when it comes out). I think it could match Eat Pray Love numbers, at least.

Sure, he did it. After spending the whole movie in MoS questioning whether he should use his powers to save people. And then he spent all of BvS looking like saving people was making him miserable, he briefly ran away to the mountains to give Pa Kent some random cameo, before coming back.

huh ?? WTF did we see the same movie because start of move when we get to earth there was stories that he would pop up and save people thats how Lois tracked him down. And the first time we see Clark was him saving people from an oilrig. So what in the hell are you talking about here.

I'm in the theater  for Swad. All the showings are basically sold out here!!! 

[MovieMan89]

Beyond had one direct competitor to deal with and it hardly pulled some massive 100m+ OW or something. Competition wasn't even close to the problem. Nothing was making that film leggy. And summer was the only time I think it could have scored that opening. The hype for it was barley there to start with, trying moving it to any other season and the OW could have been disastrous.

He didn't spend the whole movie questioning that, he saved the kids on the bus and he saved the oil tanker.. the only conflict was Pa Kent who out of love and understanding the way people react to things, was afraid that if people found out about clark, they'd want to kill him, view him as a threat. 

 

That's all there was to it. A father protecting his child.

I saw a movie with a character arc. You apparently didn't.

On a side note I feel the reason BvS didn't work because the movie wasn't Batman vs Superman.

 

Its supposed to be, Light vs Dark. Its supposed to be two radically different tones clashing. The problem is they made Superman Batman, then made him face Batman. It was like Batman v Darker Batman. 

 

This. I'd give you a thousand likes for this post if I could lol. 

 

The  whole point of Batman and Supes fighting is because of how different they are in their philosophies from each other.
