Potter and DC pretty much except for freakish run by Sniper.

This year too top 3 WB should be DC,DC,"Potter"

Yes, 2017 doesn't have anything that could break into that Top 10 for WB save Wonder Woman and Justice League. Both of which I can see taking at least spots 7 and 8 if not above so I think it's a pretty safe bet. That would be 6/10 movies from the same brand, which would already best Fox's Top 10 with 5/10 Star Wars. Having 8/10 would be ridiculously unheard of.

Queen of Katwe also tanking in wide release, too. $2k PTA. Ouch. 

 

Disney dumped that film, so it's not surprising.

Looks like Magnificent 7 won't hit 100M. Will end the weekend 2M off the pace of Equalizer which barely got across the mark.

That would be pretty pathetic.

Despicable Me 2 at the same point after 85 days - 361m

Pets at the same point after 85 days - 364.5m

 

Interesting.

[filmlover]

I honestly won't be surprised if Doctor Strange blows up with a $70M+ opening in a month. The marketplace is dying for a youth-skewing movie (as witnessed by the holds for Suicide Squad), and everything since summer has been either rated R or had little to no appeal to the teen/college-age set.

Magnificent 7 was supposed to be the chosen one. Didn't quite make it.

The audience was 80%+ over 25. Goes to show the young demographic wouldn't have cared no matter when it opened.

My audience was mostly made up of older probably conservative couples who by the looks of it don't go to the movies that often.

Then, he will need the second pair of new pants after he finishes watching Inception

I agree with this.  Although, September and October rarely have Youth skewing movies, as it's not an overly popular time for that age group to go see movies.

 

What I think could really blow up is Fantastic Beasts.  Harry Potter is still very relevant in pop-culture and I could see a 100m+ OW and 300m+ DOM.

[filmlover]

Dismal # for Masterminds but that was expected. Even if it had opened in August of last year like it was supposed to before Relativity's woes began, it still would've tanked on account of looking really unfunny and a waste of a good cast.

[CJohn]

Yeah, M7 aint getting to 100M with a drop like that.

JLaw needs to sit in the back for a while until December. Now it is time for a new Queen to sit on the throne.

I can definitely see FB doing well. Don't see a 100M opening yet, but definitely 85M+. WB's final marketing push can definitely put it over the line in the end.
