Not saying  anything of the sort.Me and my lady didn't enjoy it.

If you think about it The tiger displayed enough intelligence to not leap to his death.

The two leads in War Dogs are the two most unappealing actors working today, IMO. 

 

Teller I do find unappealing, but Jonah Hill came out of most reviews as the best thing about the movie.

Wait WB...I thought they would have canceled their Jungle Book by now.

Suicide Squad is on course to secure $19M-$20M

Sausage Party is going to upset it, it’s going to take a pretty hefty Friday, but as of right now the R-rated animated feature will cook $17M, -50% in second for a 10-day take of $67M.

Ben-Hur‘s wheels are coming off with $10M-$12M for the weekend after a $3M-$3.5M Friday (including $900K Thursday night).

 

War Dogs action comedy is looking at $14M-$15M after $5M today (that includes last night’s $1.25M)

Kubo and the Two Strings will sing $4.5M today and could nudge War Dogs for the No. 3 weekend spot with $14M-$15M

Pete’s Dragon is expected to come in between $10M-$11M

I think it'll break the September record for sure, not sure how much but over $50m OW wouldn't surprise me 

 

I wonder how reviews will look. It might be a good, crowd pleasing movie and still get unfavorable reviews because it's a remake to a beloved classic.

We'll see.

BEN-HUR to debut out of top-5?

SP

SS

WD

KUBO

PDRAGON

BEN-HUR

[a2k]

I wonder if Deadline has taken care about Saturday bumps this weekend being better than last weekend.

Sunday drops could be marginally higher too but Sat bumps improvement are more substantial.

Could push SS 20+ opposed to 19-20.

Toby Kebbell really needs to learn how to choose better projects. 

 

Ben-Hur, Fan4stick, Warcraft.... his last three projects have all been massive bombs.

Going to see Lights Out tonight, hoping it's actually scary. 

Miles is so unappealing he counts as two people?
Also, I think that's the point of movie

[DAJK]

Problem with the bombs this year is too many of them are coming from the same 2 studios (Sony and Paramount). BFG was Disney, but overall bombs need to be evenly distributed, same with megahits.

He keeps it up it won't get any offers at all. Casting Directors will look past him. 

[WrathOfHan]

Last year Saturday increases didn't start this weekend so the live action releases could decrease tomorrow  Kubo should increase on Saturday, Pete's Dragon did last weekend.

Does Finding Dory have more territories to open in? If so it could of course pass JB, but as of now, JB is nearly 50M ahead of Dory.
