I don't think it is fair to compare Transformers movies to DCEU movies. The 3 DCEU movies have gone from mediocre to bad to worse wrt WOM. 

 

Transformers movies may not garner critical support ala DCEU, but the audience WOM has always been good given their multipliers.

5 pink scales + 3 pink scale tail spikes + 1 pink toupee + 2 pink ear tufts =  So 8.3 or 11

It was normal for the week. Looking at today, it's on the worse end of drops for second weekend, but again, not really that unexpected. (I think most were expecting low- to mid-60s drop). Were you making sure everyone was aware that XMEN had a horrible second weekend drop?

Hopefully people were aware WOM was poor. If not: HERE IS YOUR BELATED NOTICE THAT WOM FOR APOCALYPSE WAS POOR EVERYONE.

So, what was it about that 75-80% Friday jump and 50m weekend all of that historical data was pointing to @Baumer loves Dory ?

Oh contraire mon Tele, some were indeed trying to argue SS's performance is "normal" for that kind of movie and not indicative of bad WOM. At least before that Friday #. Would like to see the argument for that now. 

Lol, you're having too much fun with this.

RTH hasn't like anyone's Pete's posts yet..... could it be below 7M?

They also always released on Wednesdays.  The only Transformers movie with good WoM was the first.

I always knew Sausage Party was going to be stiff competition for Suicide Squad.

the first one opened on Monday. It had actually had similar legs to all the sequels. A movie doesn't make money like the TF's do unless some people like them

Yes, but one of these movies is for kids and the other has Deli porn

If anyone is curious as to what real good WOM actually looks like for these movies, Guardians of the Galaxy potentially beating SS's second Friday # in spite of opening 40m lower is a great starting point. 

LOL You won't let up will you?

[CJohn]

The pointy pink things in his ears and tail add up to 9. Maybe it is 9M?
