Weekend Actuals (Page 120): Boss Baby 50.2M | BATB 45.4M | GITS 18.7M | Power Rangers 14.2M | Kong 8.6M

[a2k]

I think 50-51 for BB and 47-48 for BATB using Rth's Sat (20 BB, 19.8 BATB).

GiTS will probably end up short of 19 million.

Yeah, it'll probably fall 30% on Sunday. Not good, but not surprising either.

Worse increases from holdolvers than last Saturday. Boss Baby will take the N.1 with around 50m with BATB close with 47-48m.

I agree and I clearly mean the movies associated with those numbers but again the main forum and main weekend thread is first and foremost a numbers thread. Fair? Clearly it can get dry and slow but sometimes that ok for simple organization sake. If we want to F around completely off topic, there is a thread for that we all are familiar with just a bit below this.

 

Not everybody likes to join there even when they goof off in the weekend thread. The Classic Conversation Thread is typically the same 15 people 

 

But it is what it is. Obviously it's gotten out of hand this weekend, I didn't necessarily have a problem with it for BatB.

So uh, this is kinda random but my dad is in town so a bunch of my friends were like "say hi to your dad for me!" I told him and he was like "say hi back for me, and I guess you can say hi to your internet buddies or whatever too. Did the old guy ( @Telerian ) see Life yet? Tell him don't bother, it SUCKED"

 

(I guess I make jokes about my dad's age a lot so he's gotta do it at some point too  )

I don't see going off-topic as being overly problematic. This may be a box office forum, but at the end of the day it's also nice to see people coming together and being a community. And short of a total ban of GIFs and off-topic discussion, there's not much anyone can do about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  

It's when the conversation gets nasty and personal (like this weekend) that it becomes an issue.

Hopefully ghost in the shell will still be in imax when tuesday rolls around.... or in theaters at all :/

Well at @WrathOfHantheater theyre already putting it in the small 3D theater so by Tuesday it'll have vanished.

As long as we allow iZombie gifs and ban Wilderpeople gifs. I'm good.

Good opening weekend for Boss Baby, probably headed towards around 50 million. Another solid hold for BatB, but maybe not as great as thought. GiTS is struggling.

 

I really don't feel that 100 posts of that adds anything more than talking about whatever hilarious bullshit we get off about. I get it when there's truly things to debate and break down, but we've kinda run out of analysis on a super tame and predictable weekend like this. 

[WrathOfHan]

It's definitely a given that BATB is taking back every IMAX screen next weekend (or maybe Boss Baby if Fox can push it hard enough).

 About the same amount MT had on GITS and PR a few pages ago for tickets sales. lol Let's see PR only projected to make 13 or 14M. So only GITS 16-17M?

I understand the off-topic conversations are sometimes over the top but like the numbers are all updated in the thread title and I'm 99% sure theyre updated on the first page. If theyre not updated on the first page then maybe just have someone update the first page like they do with the thread title and also include which page numbers theyre found at. 

 

I don't know. I like weekend threads because its when a bunch of members come together, talk numbers, talk the movies and yea at times go off topic. 

 

BUT i also get where the criticism is coming from and how it can be extremely annoying to go through a bunch of gif filled pages...especially when youre on mobile.

The biggest heroes this weekend are clearly the mods. Props to them for keeping their cool while wading through so much garbage.

Stop kissing ass. You're only doing this because you were half the problem this weekend

Can't get over how bad GITS is doing. I had it at 21M prediction few days ago,but I didn't actually think it go below that.

[aabattery]

@WrathOfHan said a couple of days back that he thoughts GiTS would do 18M so I put that in as my derby predict.

 

Thanks Han!

Moderation:

 

We'll discuss these valid complaints and see if we can come up with some guidelines to strike a balance between loose fun and getting out of control.

@Cmasterclay @filmlover @WrathOfHan and I all thought it could very well go under $20M. 

 

Its actually not that shocking. Its just shocking because of where the expectations for the film in terms of tracking were just two weeks ago.
