Bourne is at 149M

[Bishop54]

Looks like Jason Bourne is going to be taking down the Enterprise domestically.

I really don't know if it will. The numbers for all three DC movies are really consistent - ~+$120mil opening, ~+$300mil domestic ~$750mil worldwide. I've said it before, but that's a built in fanbase and one that will seemingly go to a movie because it's a "DC movie". 

 

That's a "hot-hand fallacy".

Bourne will beat STB pretty much everywhere. 

If only STB could have matched Bourne's OS gross.

We're on the depression phase in the 5 stages of grief it appears  

Acceptance will come hopefully soon

Wait for the terrible OS numbers to come first. STB was dropping 65% in South Korea which was about 45% of the OS gross last week.

Let's take a look at the movies I was stanning for starting from May, shall we?

 

Neighbors 2 - disappointment

Apocalypse - disappointment

Popstar - flop

The BFG - flop

Ghostbusters - flop

Beyond - disappointment/flop

Sausage Party - actually doing fine

 

For every movie I've stanned for since then, it's been a 6:1 failure to success ratio  

Do I have a curse?  Find out next time when The Girl on the Train, Morgan, Snowden, and other shit is released

No, with a just a ~5% variance in likely average domestic totals and a ~10% variance in likely average worldwide totals among (admittedly) three data points, that's called a "consistency" and a "trend."

Think it's only going to end up 1-2 million ahead in the end. It's losing theaters pretty fast, a little faster than I would have liked. Still a chance it doesn't make it there.

It won't lose a lot of theaters next weekend; LBO and Morgan aren't going that wide and they'll only get a screen at basically every theater.

[Hiccup23]

Kubo is dropping the same as ParaNorman. If it has the same multiplier it will end with $48-$49 million.

Star Trek Beyond phased to $4.7m from its 51 markets for $92.1m after opening in four new markets.

South Korea added $1.6m for a local tally of $8.1m and France recorded a $1.1m second weekend for $4m to date. It opens in Brazil and China next weekend.

[Dementeleus]

Maybe one of these years STB will finally cross 100m overseas.

Terrific OW for Don't Breathe, ending the Summer w/the highest note in many, many years.

 

Southside With You also w/a pretty good opening, and Mechanic 2 doing more than I expected (not saying much, but it did). Hands Of Stone with a rather bleh OW (SWY did more than twice w/pretty much the same amount of theaters), let's see if it doesn't embarass itself next week when it goes wide.

 

Hell Or High Water impressing yet again, I've heard some mumblings that it's going wide on LD so... may pop up in the top 5.

 

EXCELLENT hold for Suicide Squad. That's some Guardians shit, right there. Makes me kinda terrified about its potential... what if the film were actually better put together, and its money traffic were stronger from the start? It could've done monster numbers, I'm talking 400M+ potential here. But alas, what is and what could've been. WB should be happy, but at the same time, they missed giving themselves one hell of a Summer treat (as they did earlier the year w/BVS).

 

Bad Moms, Bourne, Pete, Pets and Kubo all w/strong holds as well. Beyond and SP decent. War Dogs whatever. Ben-Hur .

 

Good weekend all around. Pretty nice surprise, actually. August this year in general has been WAAAYYYYY better than the blackhole of 2015 (save for Straight Outta Compton).
