I think The Great Wall can do 25-26M 4 day weekend. Fist Fight seems to have a good enough concept to get 22-24M. A Cure for Wellness got two SB spots and I am still unsure it cracks the 7M for the 4 day weekend.

Buzz is nonexistent for Fist Fight. I have no idea why the hell people are predicting high teens+ for it.

30 million OW for Great Wall!

Ah Ralphie.  Probably the character who made me have the most uneasy moment on that show

I hope Wick can hit over $30m OW!

Twice the OW of the first movie would be great!

How much buzz did you notice for similar comedies like Ride Along 1/2? Assuming you remember

Ride Along 2 had..... the Conan video I guess? Idk. I don't see Fist Fight doing well regardless. The last trailer only has like 300k views.

It's the only comedy that isn't animation out there for a while, isn't it? Just that fact will have some people watching it.

1st week take out-grossing the 1st movie total domestic will be nice too.

I guess Lego fans and Batman fans do not overlap. I was expecting $70M to $80M for this one...

I haven't looked closely, but the Great Wall will be lucky to get out of single digits.

DAMMIT

Fist Fight is also going to have the definition of zero competition.  It is the first live action comedy since Why Him (8 weeks ago) and there isn't another comedy until CHiPs (5 weeks from now). 

 

13 weeks and it will be the only new comedy.  That alone should get it business even if it sucks.

How do you guys think next weekend's releases will do?

 

Great Wall: 20M

Fist Fight: 15M

Wellness: 6M

 

I wouldn't be surprised if all of them were below 15M tbh.

I think Fist Fight could push towards $25M given that it's the first comedy in a while. Too bad the ad push hasn't been stronger or I think it would be a guarantee.

 

Great Wall is obviously gonna be a domestic flop and Cure for Wellness is likely gonna make peanuts.

And CHiPs definitely looks like a flop waiting to happen. Who the hell thought it was a good idea for Dax Shepard to be the lead in...well, anything?
