Anything under 60% is a good hold. Under 55% is fantastic. Impossible to stay under 55 with the 20 mill thursday, wouldn't you say? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made less money than comedy junk like Daddy's Home. My guess is the loss is going to be closer to $100m after everything is counted. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Math error But if SS stays above 9m on Thursday there's a chance it's second weekend drop slips slightly under 60%. 59% or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(RT audience score is rotten though) Sony trying to alter the marketing in response to misogynists morons messed it up probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't want folks to know how much of a disaster it is, but its not like its hard to figure out once you do the calculations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynically jumping on the gender war was definitely a mistake. Sony's problem was that it totally overestimated how much people cared about all that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exomassey Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 If it is 14.2, it gives the film the third best Tuesday of the year (behind Dory and SLOP) and the 21st highest Tuesday of all time. It looks like the summer days are a benefit to the film considering Dory and SLOP were also summer releases. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if Trek can overhaul that to become Paramount's highest grosser since Rogue Nation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I think Sony biggest mistake was making a shitty film with mostly annoying and painfully unfunny characters. But that's just me. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure it will do $20m during the following week and $22m the following weekend. Should put it near $270m on Aug. 21st Likely going to end up around $315m range. That is a huge win for DC/WB, but they have to start turning out more quality movies. Huge win for sure. If you said a couple years ago that a DC movie without Batman or Superman (or Justice League) in the title could make $300m domestic, I think WB would be jumping for joy.

James Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Lol, just checked out and there's a chance this makes more on the second weekend than BvS did (51.3m), despite opening 32m lower. It would need a 61.6% drop at most, which is far from impossible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also had by far the lowest OW out of those, so it's not that shocking. That increase definitely didn't help the movie at all anyway. Still the bomb it deserves to be.

a2k Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 As someone rooting for SS I still feel 65%+ drop could happen, mostly based on those insane previews. Just imagine the Fri-Fri drop. Sat-Sat and Sun-Sun drop will recover. Even Bourne and Trek dropped 58-62% in the 2nd weekend. Would be happy with 45 which will take it past 220 and on track for 300.
