Do we have a Friday number for SS or just this absurd projection?

Oh c'mon like we really need an official number to know it's bad. Even if it goes 50m+, that's still an awful drop so let's not pretend like we don't know it's not holding well.

I had to look up the September record and I don't think that's happening. 

 

I think it can break $50m, it's got a great cast, a good release date and the first big film of the fall season.

MovieMan REAAAAAALLY wants you to know SS is falling. Just in case.

Per Deadline:

 

Quote

I hear matinees on Suicide Squad are down 93% and that doesn’t account for the $20.5M business the DC villain film did on Thursday.

 

Now, SS clearly had a pretty interesting first Friday (as seen by the tumble on Saturday), and I'm not sure how useful this is without comparing to other blockbusters. But still, this made me laugh.

 

I thought this quote was a Deadline parody but nope it's real.

Mag 7 will be so massive if it's well liked.

Gonna mention before baumer scolds me that superhero second Fridays have almost always been overestimated lately...

Suicide Squad is a supervillain movie. Checkmate.

Hell hath no fury like a fanboy scorned.  He was hardcore cheer leading this movie and it's box office, until he saw it.

I can't see 50 right now. If the reviews are good, 40-45 can happen.

Is that a guess or is it tracking?

 

It's a guess to what could break 200m this year. I don't think tracking is out for either yet.

Ben Hur will kill the legs of all these pitiful movies, mark my words.

 

Morgan Freeman, His POWAH.

The legs are already crippled (pardon the pun) for pretty much everything out. Ben Hur looks awful btw lol.

The Derby kills it with estimates. But, part of what these publications need is good writing. I think the trades def. fail in that department too. But, numbers+storytelling is the best combo. Their estimates are disarmingly bad though.

At least it's not as bad as Godzilla was for me. Now that really was me having a meltdown after I saw that. I still don't know if I'll be able to admit to liking Rogue One if I actually like it because Edwards still makes me so angry. And if it sucks I'm refusing to acknowledge its existence as an SW movie.

That lol in the end is so disrespectful towards DCEU fans
So unnecessary.

The DCEU is like a bad Picasso (so far), you either love the concept to finished product or you are like the rest of us wondering wtf did I just watch? 

[Gopher]

Woah, I just realized how good November looks. Doctor Strange? Arrival? Billy Flynn's Halftime Walk? Fantastic Beasts? Allied? Moana? And those are just the movies that'll make money. There's also Manchester by the Sea, Nocturnal Animals, and a new WARREN BEATTY movie...

It's a LOL at the HR's huge range of the projection.  It's so large as to be useless.

You know what's disrespectful to DCEU fans? WB treating it as their little cash cow and not giving one flying fuck about delivering quality or what the fans want. Assigning Zack "hey BRUH, look at my mad visual stylez!" Snyder to the throne of DCEU is disrespectful to DCEU fans. Any self-respecting DC fan deserves so much better.

Wow, did Apocalypse really fall that big for its second weekend? I didn't know that. Crazy drop...

 

Now that SS already made in 5 days, more than Apocalypse made during its entire domestic run, I can easily say X-Men Apocalypse domestic performance  is dsappointing. 

 

It's true...

Best CBM of the year so far, what a bloody shame. At least all the others did well(yes, even BVS) and SS seems to be on course for 300m+.

 

All CBMs have been really good this year, I really hope Doctor Strange continues this trend. It seems like it will.

Oh, then I didn't get the lol part right.

Thanx.
