My nephews would love PR. No doubt. I can't help that Lionsgate has been here before. It feels they are desperate for a new franchise. This feels like Divergent redux. If PR only make 250m WW why bother trying to make this a franchise?

 

Yeah,just doesn't make sense. Unless they sure it will do extremely well over seases and possibly banking on doing well Blu-ray wise. Much like Picture Perfect and Pacfic Rim did. This is coming from a PR fan. So I would love for to be a franchise. Just seems unlikely.

Power Rangers should have brought back the real pink ranger and it would have five better

It's typical Saban ego. He basicly jinxed it with that comment.

Keep in mind, that Beauty and the Beast kept an incredible 81% of its first monday number on thursday. We couldn't expect a huge jump from here. If it could somehow crawl to $23m on Friday, that would be right around Cinderellas jump. That one also had great weekday numbers.

Only five movies out of hundreds have surpassed 65m. My point stands.

 

still unlikely, esp. for a movie w/o the appeal of the aforementioned films.

However now more films have been breaking out at different months not just Summer or November/December.

Did I say only those months could have successful movies?

No, but August could be big given the right movies.

It's still not gratuitous or anything.

I am really curious to see BaTB's number. I'm hoping for at least $23m.

It might help legs, but the OW would be around the same. And it is not like PR faces a lot of competition until FF8 here lol.

There is something else from that Variety article I wanted to discuss:

Quote

“I think Disney never really got its arms around the value of the franchise.”

What is Bob Iger and the rest of Disney thinking this weekend?  I know "Beauty and the Beast" is huge at the box office, and I am doubtful he regrets selling the Power Rangers rights.  There were rumors long ago that Disney wanted to create a Power Rangers animated series, but Toei, the Japanese company that co-owns Power Rangers told them no.  I've noticed that Haim Saban usually tries to not mention Toei when discussing Power Rangers.

Admittedly I do think PR may have had a better OW and run in August. I'm seeing it in a few minutes with my school friends.
