It's possible, but it has everything going for it on paper.  A WoM and DVR hit, absolutely no competition surrounding it, and not having so many sequels and spin-offs attached that will detract from viewers going to see it.

 

I continually compared GOTG to Pirates when it came out and I think the comparison will apply again here.

Sequels BO hardly work like 1 decade ago, I will be surprised if it to have a big increase, but okay...

Wow!

 

Pets did hold as well as Pixar's Inside Out. No surprise. People seems to enjoy the movie and the 74% on RT certainly helps. One of the more well-received animated films of 2016, along with FD, Zootopia & KFP3. 2 good originals and 2 good sequels.

 

Another win for Illumination.

I'm pretty sure SS won't pass 300m. I don't see any reason for late legs.

Fine. Let's talk about MoS instead. I'm sure you'd love that. 

Nevermind, continue with the X-Men talk.

Yeah. The most obvious result was in the neighborhood of Minions once it opened the way it did. It will make more $$ than that but hardly to the extent of "shocking". A lot of people convinced themselves it would have bad WOM and weak legs and would barely cross 300M, even though none of the actual signs pointed in that direction.

Blind hate. There is nothing surprising about an original well received animated movie doing a 3.5 multiplier from his OW.

Lack of competition (BvS tanked 65% on his 4th weekend because of Jungle Book) + Labor Day weekend.

Lol. WB execs must be frustrated. Due to Suicide Squad, the studio will finish the weekend in 2nd place for DOM market share, be the second studio with two 200m+ DOM movies (will likely remain the only other studio to do so this year), and be toying with a 2 billion DOM 2017 (only achieved by this studio once before). As for world-wide numbers, SS is at 465m and will comfortably be in the top 10 of 2017 by next week, and likely could remain there for the rest of the year, possibly beating out SLOP for a spot.

WB executives must be panicking. They need to cancel all of the DC movies that hasn't start production yet, and reboot the franchise in 2018 with the directors of the most beloved live action movies of this summer: The Legend of Tarzan and Nine Lives.

Memorial Day weekend.

And... If it hadn't memorial day, that number of Monday would be distributed during the run and sunday drop would be higher... Even Allegiant, Iron Man 3, Man Of Steel with 4-day OW had better legs than Civil War...

Trek and Bourne might cross 160M. Also, Interstellar, Martian, and Gravity were in that range, so if "Passengers" performs like those movies, it could potentially fill that gap. Mag 7 and Sing are also possibilities. Maybe Strange.

Fantastic Beasts is the OBVIOUS movie to finish within the 200-299M range.

Yates is too busy driving 800-900M of cash every two years for WB until 2019.

True but my point is there has been no 200 million dollar grosser this year which usually is quite common

Last year until October only Cinderella had passed the 200M (by being dragged indefinitely until they were able to fudge it with the drive-ins thing). The market is becoming more and more a feast or famine thing. Either the movies go big or flop/underperform.

Holy crap, that's amazing for sausage party, I'm legit shocked.

Suicide Squad still has IMAX and PLFs until Sully which will make a small but significant contribution to its takings.

Same thing with Spectre. IIRC Martian and Mockingjay 2 were the only "real" 200-299m grossers last year.

It's funny how you so easily credit her with a bump in the franchise for DOFP, even though as I've already pointed out DOFP was a great film in itself, but are so quickly to dismiss her for the poor sales of XA, because that film was poor in quality. That makes no sense and is actually quite contradictory. Could it be that DOFP was actually good and hence made as much money as it did and XA was just bad which is why it didn't make as much? I'm thinking that's the case more so than Jlaw's "bump" in franchise. 

 

XA OS OW = $100M (With Jlaw, terrible ER)

X-DofP OS OW (same markets)= $120M (With Jlaw, old cast, better thematic, better ER)

I no longer need to discuss with you. Bye.

Sully looks like a ripoff of Flight, that Denzel Washington movie.
