Got X-M:A on digital today and I'm reminded again on why I love it so much.

Best superhero movie of the year so far. Can't wait to get the Blu-ray.

 

 

On the topic of this week's movies, I thought Sully would do something like 20m, holy crap, very nice for it. I hope Inferno becomes another hit for Tom Hanks later on.

Tom Hanks is the Captain

Sully's story is better known than Flight.

 

I know right, crazy, considering Flight was fictional...

Why is Sully doing so much better than Flight?

 

Does Tom Hanks have more pull than Denzel?

 

Is the biography more compelling than Flight's story?

 

Is Sully that much better quality wise?

 

First I don't think "Sully" is doing "So much Better" than "Flight", the OW are seperated by about 10 million.   For one "Sully" cost about 30 Million more than "Flgiht" and is based on a true story.  Clint is obviously a little more popular than Zemekis right now and that was Roberts first live action in years.   As people have mentioned it's also not "R-rated" like "Flight" was.   "Flight" ended up with a very solid mutiplier at 3.7x.   If "Sully" follows that multiplier than we are looking at about 125-130 domestic.   Ironically I think Denzel ends up indirectly hurting "Sully" once Mag7 comes out.   Anyways reguardless those are solid numbers for "Sully" and I guess we only have "Flight" to compare because Denzel and Tom are about the same ages and the subject matter is simular.   "Sully" is also performing better than "Captain Phillips".    So Tom is about to make a nice little comback this year with "Sully" and "DC3: Inferno".

My mommy loved X-Men as much as you, I think she already watched it more than 5 times, lol.

Another sub 50% drop for DB, amazing. $90m is looking more and more possible.

Sully was good.

Don't count with that. Next week it faces huge direct competition with Blair Witch.

Around 80M is where it's headed IMO

Because Lionsgate is shit that tastes like bad shit. 

[Johnny Tran]

42% drop for SS.  I'll be in my bunk.

[DAJK]

Kinda disappointed Sully decreased, but that's still a great weekend result!

[lobogotti]

Kudos Baumer, Sully dropped 44%.  Thought it could hold off the high drop with 56% of the audience being women and 80% over 35.
