Kingsman is gonna open on the same weekend as American Made w/Tom Cruise. That'll be kinda competitive

American Made has been finished for months. It won't be competition.

Hopefully Kingsman sweeps and Ninjago destroys American Made

It appealed to a lot of people

No, I mean there's overlap between the audiences. At least I think so.

I don't think it's gonna be that competitive unless AM experiences a Sully-like breakout (and Sully only broke out because of the fame of its story + the perfect casting of Tom Hanks). Kingsman has A LOT of goodwill coming off the original, which opened to almost 40M despite going against the 85M OW of the original Fifty Shades. I see this as a bigger version of the Maze Runner 2/Black Mass throwdown, if anything.

Kingsman and Ninjago will take its audience away.

Even with Tom Cruise, it has bomb written all over it. The movie has been finished since November, so we know it won't be an awards contender because Universal could have made this one last year if they wanted to.

I know. I meant in terms of the relatively low opening day. How is it possible to still reach  $175M?

[DAJK]

Just had a dream last night that Death Cure (maze runner 3) opened to 60M, and that Dark Tower and Kingsman opened on the same day but did 100M OW combined.

[YM!]

Ever since 2015, I saw on movie on Birthday (2015 was Get Hard, 2016 was BVS), question is will I see Life or Power Rangers this year?

[John Marston]

Why not move Kingsman to the empty August?

Saturday increase, and a mild Sunday drop

Like I said, BIGGER version. Kingsman will be the biggest September opener since Hotel Transylvania 2, I reckon (which isn't that much to say, but it's something), and has a serious shot at 40M+. AM will do more than BM, but it'd need to be Bourne Identity good in order to have a shot at 30M.

 

@John Marston uhh... only possible explanation is that it may not be quite ready to be pushed up a month. After all, it still only moved a weekend from where it was.

NINJAGO OW over HT2 OW and then Kingsman does $55M OW breaking Ninjago's record the week after.

True, August is missing a big movie. Post the Dunkirk weekend, the summer just dies this year. Last year we still had Trek, Bourne and Squad post that weekend. Very frontloaded summer this time.

They are intimidated, "Get Out" is the LAST movie they want/ed to do well, given its raw agenda and a POC dominated cast

I truly hope "GITS" will flop miserably next weeked. Everyone should boycott it.

"out there" and "risky" movies usually don't have a 100 million + budget, they are also funded by director's own pocket (Birth of Nation & Get Out)
