I called it. Smurfs would bomb and do worse than the 2nd film.

 

The Smurf brand has been seriously damaged.

 

I wonder what that means for Spider-man Homecoming.

Homecoming will do fine. Even ASM2 did 200m

Has anyone made the obligatory "calm before the storm" comment yet?

 This implies that Spider-Man brand is damaged.

I think everyone pretty much predicted that though.

My patience for all things Smurfs movies wore out about 5 minutes into the first film. Obviously I wasn't alone.

But 200 m is bad for a Spider-men movie.

 

I'm pretty sure Sony wants much closer to 300 m DOM and 800 m WW to consider Homecoming worthwhile.

I'm about to have my first alone in the theater experience :ohmygod: I could live post about Boss Baby

Did you guys miss the part where both Smurfs 2 and ASM2 did poorly financially and critically?

However, Spider-Man being in Civil War and having Iron Man helps.

No. Just like I didn't miss that Spider-Man is still widely popular, the highlight of CW for a lot of people, and has a consistent cartoon on television. I know we get locked in our movie bubble, but Spider-Man has had more media outlet since ASM2 to make people forget about ASM2. He's even been in another movie since then.

Smurfs prod budget is only 60. If it can open to 12-13, it has a shot at 40-45 as this demographics can give a leggy run (3.5x multiplier).

It will be upto OS to salvage it then.

OS isn't much better, it's being slaughtered by The Boss Baby in many markets. 

 

I wonder how SPA got the budget to $60m when HT2 cost $80m. I'm guessing the tax credit from Vancouver helped.

Smurfs either should have counter-programmed against F8 (and Sparks isn't releasing very wide), or should have opened the weekend after F8.

[filmlover]

I wonder how Gifted will do from 56 theaters this weekend. Reviews have crept over the positive mark now.
