Weekend Actuals (Page 62): Suicide Squad 20.9M | Sausage Party 15.5M | War Dogs 14.7M | Kubo 12.6M | Pete's Dragon 11.3M | Ben Hur 11.2M

Also I'm kinda dubious about Sully's box office prospects myself. It feels like another nonevent Eastwood like everything else he's done this decade except American Sniper, and Hanks is obviously nowhere near his prime anymore.

Sausage Party will need some strong legs from this point until the end of his run to reach the 100M.

It honestly feels like that typical 20-23M/50-60M movie WB releases every year in September.

The new trailer from two days ago already has 1.8M views, it'll open well but legs could be shit (I'm expecting Money Monster-esque legs).

The emotion is there, it's a dumbfounded kind of surprise, it's just a shame the quality of the picture it was taken from is pretty low, the light/contrast and resolution are a bit shitty.

I think 20+ for Sully and would not be surprised if it hits 30.

lol this forum is so setting itself up for disappointment with this movie.

 

What do you think it's gonna make?

[UrosepsisFace]

Sing has SLOP potential in my opinion. 

 

Don't Breathe looks awesome, but I think it's getting less attention than Nerve which made above 15m after its first weekend, and it's rated R in comparison.

So SS will be 5M away from 2x after this weekend. 

And you guys said it would be close.

$35-40M opening, $125M total. A Safe House-type run.

To me it says "About to fall asleep but tries to look awake", more than anything else.

Suicide Squad will hit $300M. It's OW multiplier will be pretty close to Civil War's.

Some silly numbercrunching here from a newbie who doesn't know what to do with numbers.

 

BvS vs SS domestic gross:

 

Week 1:
$209,072,793 vs $179,104,728 (+16.7%)
Week 2:
$64,177,749 vs $62,468,607 (+2.7%)

Week 3:
$29,051,188 vs (20,700,000 + ?)

 

Will Suicide Squad's third week outgross Batman v Superman's?
