parkerthegreat Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hmmm. 14.2m 10m -30% 9m -10% 14m +55% 19m +36% 14.5m -22% Weekend: 47.5m (-64.6%) Seems reasonable to me. Still thinking $305m total or thereabouts, which is fine all things considered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's just me. Agree. If Ghostbusters was making people laugh then it would be doing better. You can't fake laughs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exomassey Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Out of curiosity does anyone think cheap Tuesdays were a great benefit? Maybe them people who were more unsure would of went yesterday because it was that bit cheaper. The film was so anticipated I'm sure a lot of people were looking forward to it and we're disappointed with reviews etc. Is it really a good sign of legs yet? I'm only asking, the film was done great so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Still thinking at least 65% drop for SS. Even Dark Knight Rises dipped 61% to $60M AFTER weekdays of $19M, $17M, $14M and $13M. SS's Friday number will likely be less than it's Monday or Tuesday number. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1stpierre Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Lmao, people were calling doom and gloom for this movie. Seems so far the numbers are alright. Seems like my prediction for a 50ishM second weekend doesn't look to far off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 No shock with Ghostbusters. Everyone knew that would be a complete bust. Honestly, I think it's the same bust if Rogen and Co. made as initially planned. Just didn't matter. Unless it was new, fresh spin on the source that somehow caught the attention of the GA, that thing of dead on arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup23 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 $14.3 million is good for Suicide Squad. However, I don't think its gonna change the 2nd weekend drop. I am still seeing a -65-67% drop for the film and a conclusion just over $300 million. $300 million is great for this movie and DC/WB definitely got a hit. If they can get movies with terrible reviews over $300 million then imagine what they can do if they get a movie with good reviews (Dark Knight) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Maybe the problem with GB could be over-budgeting. ~130 dom even with a small OS is fine considering studios keep 53% average of the dom gross. But the 144 budget was ludicrous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably $500M+ for BatSupes and $400M+ for Squad with even a mixed/positive reception. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Bummed about GB. It's good enough for a sequel. But spending $144m on a comedy is stupid, no matter what. Sony should've learned that already with GREEN HORNET. Re: SS... FANTASTIC FOUR increased 30% on its first Tuesday. Show me a below-33% drop today and I'll be impressed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FF increased that much on Tuesday because it sucked and everyone wanted to pay less to see it on Tuesday. You're running out of excuses here aren't you? And how nice of you to site FF and not GOTG. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Discount Tuesday is almost becoming more and more like the fourth day of a 4-day holiday frame for movies so we'll have to wait and see how it does today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's obviously other reasons why FF went up so much. One of them is that people were willing to pay less money to see it knowing it was going to suck, hence the 41% drop the next day and another is that it opened to about a third of what SS did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
