Yeah. Though it will add 2-3m to it's cume to end up with a ~3x multiplier dom. Speaks to the power of summer weekdays.

Also ~400m WW on a 105m budget, so very profitable movie. But am certain (almost ) we have seen the last of the IA sequels.

I don't know. This is Fox. They seem to never stop. Alvin comes to mind.

Moral of the story is that the less liked Marvel universe movies are everywhere on TV right now

And Hulk is followed by Blade so I guess SYFY's doing their own Marvel marathon but since FX has the MCU, Spider-Man, and X-Men they're left with scraps.

Minions was not an original animation movie and it was poorly received. See? Not the same thing.

 

At the time I said that, reception was still undetermined, and it was also unclear whether it would play like an original or just a brand.

 

I mean, I'm wrong, obviously -- doesn't make me insane or a hater. (I didn't see the movie until well after that.)

No. Just no.

August 2016 will likely be the second best August although it will likely fall short of $1 billion.

Imagine if Inarritu made a comic book movie. Starring all of BOT's favorites (Miles Teller, Eddie Redmayne, Jai Courtney, Ansel Elgort, Cara Delevigne, Taylor Kitsch). Poor place would combust.

The movie would receive Best Picture though and I assume Jai Courtney or Taylor Kitsch would win Best Actor.

Alivin 4 did 86m dom and they seem to have stopped. Hopefully they will stop IA too.

Inarritu would never make a comic book movie. He's too artistic and sophisticated to make one.

Lol you have been hating on Illumination since the start. Illumination, Blue Sky, Dreamworks and Pixar don't play like "brands".

Also, reviews were very positive we already knew that.

Just noticed that Sony will lead from now until October 7th (The Girl On The Train OW) for all but one weekend (when Blair Witch hits on Sep. 16th). Don't Breathe will take this and next weekends; When The Bough Breaks on Sep. 9th; The Magnificent Seven on the last two weekends of Sep. (unless Peregrine breaks out big time).

 

This be Sony right now:

I think Sully will earn more than When The Bough Breaks that weekend. I see both of them coming in at 20-25M but think Sully will edge it out.

Nah, WTBB has that Perfect Guy flavor to it. It attracts a very niche audience, but that audience rushes to that kind of film all the time. It'll definitely do 20M+. Sully might hit 20M, but honestly, I wouldn't know anymore. Don't forget that Bridge Of Spies also had a famous director (Spielberg) and Hanks combo, and only opened to 15M. And yeah, Clint is coming off American Sniper, but that was coming on Oscar season where it recieved multiple nominations, it had Bradley Cooper hot off Guardians and was sold on a more controversial and strongly debated story than the one of the Hudson Miracle (at least to my knowledge, I'm not American so I'm boldly guessing there ). Well, those are as close to proper excuses as I can think, since AS was as anomaly as anomaly can get.

American Sniper story was not as well known or as covered in the US as the Hudson miracle. Sully is also a much more well liked figure in the US as well. None of this may matter to the box office, but we are not talking a 100M opening anyway.

SS dom/multipliers:

307.5m 2.30x

314.2m 2.35x

320.8m 2.40x

 

It should do 2.30x at least, while 2.35x is possible too.

 

CBMs so far have been

DP 2.74x

APOC 2.36x

CW 2.28x

BVS 1.99x

 

Can SS beat APOC (will need 315.5m)? 

The irony of that happening after all the shit it got for the 'TOXIC' WOM around here... And it will happen.

[filmlover]

African American audiences were underserved all summer long aside from I guess Central Intelligence. A $25M opening for When the Bough Breaks is certainly possible.

The irony I see is APOC's run being taken as a touchstone for greatness when it has been given so much crap for underperforming....

It still is the leggiest CBM of the year... for now. All in all SS was a huge hit. 710m WW on a 175m budget without China seems excellent to me. GotG made 677m without China on a similar budget and that was hailed to no end. So the only reason why people won't do the same for SS is pure bias.
