Good #s for Power Rangers. at Life not over 1M, was really hoping for it.... dammit, in between the 30M budget that I banked 100% on only before it rose to 58M, and now this, the BO Gods really don't want my deal in the Fantasy BO game to go over well.

PR is a breakout. It's gonna make close to 50M. Buzz is real.

It's odd especially after the recent success of GOTG and SS. 

 

BOM has an Untitled Disney Fairy Tale on July 28th but that's not happening that I know of.  Otherwise there's Dark Tower, Annabelle and The Emoji movie....

 

Valerian should move.  It still wont big but it might be respectable.  Dunkirk would do better there as well.

Exactly. I'm looking at the August schedule right now and oh my. 

 

August 4th the wide releases are All I See Is You and Emoji Movie

The 11th has Annabelle and Baby Driver

The 18th has The Hitman's Bodyguard plus The Nut Job 2

The last weekend has 4 wide releases: All Saints, Polaroid, Tulip Fever, and Villa Capri 

 

There is money to be made. I just don't think the above list is gonna make that money. Of course i think a few of them will be box office successes (Baby Driver is my top choice) but August will not be the same as the last few years.

Power Rangers should do okay but I think Lionsgate should be wary about a sequel because it would likely do worse business,

 

I'll be curious to see if Boss Baby and Smurfs affect PR at all. It's rare for two kids movies to come within a week of each other. 

 

Next March looks slightly less busy but I imagine we'll see some solid numbers from Wreck it Ralph 2 and Ready Player One, the only question mark is Tomb Raider.

And what do you know - The Pianist and Life is Beautiful are two of the best films on the Subject.

 

I think those two with Schindler's List make the Trifecta of Holocaust film making on a wide scale. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is good but it never broke beyond the Indie crowd.

 

You just wait until the world finally gets to witness The Day the Clown Cried in its full glory

Power Rangers was 6th here yesterday, while Life was 2nd (and CHIPs was 7th lmao), so at least you living in the right country

I think a sequel would follow TMNT > TMNT 2 pattern.

Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhh. PORTUGAL, bitches.

 

How much did BATB make, btw?

[Cmasterclay]

That's easily the biggest preview number for a movie where a teen boy jerks off an animal ever. Unless there was something going on off-screen between Ron Weasley and that centaur.

156000 tickets until Wednesday, and it will easily win this weekend again lol. I would bet it will win every weekend until FF8 here.

Let's wait until OW and Cinemascore comes in, before deciding whether the sequel increases or decreases.

[Valonqar]

LOL, even Ryan Reynolds can't boost Jake Gyllenhaal's boxoffice. His fandom is restricted to some movie awards forums and that's it.

Neither have any box office clout. But it's performing fine OS so it's not a bomb. 

[baumer]

99% of the Name Actors dont have clout anymore.

[Maxmoser3]

Not bad for Power Rangers, a big fan base should flock to its OW then die off. Overseas should make a profit

Exactly. I wasn't saying it as a bad thing either.

Good example for that is RDJ. Not really a draw on his own (as The Judge showed) but as Iron Man and to a lesser extent Sherlock Holmes he's a huge draw.
