Weekend thread: GOTG2 63 m | Snatched 17.5 mi | King Arthur 14.7 m

[YM!]

Out of curiosity how much does GV2 need to drop third, fourth, and fifth weekend for $370M+?

[James]

Just rewatched RO btw. It is head and shoulders over most SW movies (except for the soundtrack). It deserved more than it did.

Not feeling Jungle Book: Origins thinking it may flop. 

 

No, I do think JB:O will flop.  But I think it would have had a chance to do okay if JB hadn't already come out.  Similar to how Legend of Tarzan did okay.

 

Also that's just a terrible title. Anything with origins in the title deserves to flop.

As for the teaser trailer for Star Wars not really catching on? Really James? I do agree it's obviously going to drop from the first one.... I don't think it's going to drop 700 million dollars to 1.3 billion.

 

The Last Jedi has Luke in it.   I guess maybe it should drop, but I'm not betting on it.

The number came from RTH. Its not an estimate.

 

It's expected to increase 2 million? That'd be great for it

GOTG2 has a good shot at #1 again next weekend.

Didn't Aliens open to equivalent of $50m in Australia or did that change?

Is this true? 

 

Do you have any link to the demographics of the MCU audience? Sounds very interesting! 

A bit late on this reply so it's possible someone beat me to the punch but, according to BOM:

Helping matters further is the "A" CinemaScore, which is right in line with pretty much all MCU features, and don't be surprised to see that opening weekend total bump up a notch or two and perhaps finish right around $147 million. Audience demographics show the film playing to an audience that was 56% male vs. 44% female, and overall 22% of the audience as 25 years-old or younger and a whopping 72% of the audience were adults while only 9% were teenagers.

Most other MCU titles have a gender breakdown that favors men 60/40.

Hmm.  Prometheus opened up to $51M.  GOTG2 should be around $33M I feel.  I'm giving Alien:Covenant the win.

From what I know, it only did $3M in Australia. So if the theory holds, it should just make a bit over $30M in NA.

OK. Not a huge difference then, but considerable.

I dont see how.

Not really. I expect about 650-700m DOM. And about 650m OS. And it has zero chance to touch 900m OS, someone here said. China is all but assured to drop from the first one and it will lose about 80m from the UK alone. TFA had huge nostalgia behind it. 

 

 

 

You obviously are under estimating the markets that love Star Wars. Did you see Harry Potter drop at all in the United Kingdom? It's not going to drop that much in the UK buddy.

DeeCee said it was on pace for 4.5m 

[baumer]

Wow I just checked. It did 3.1 million in Australia opening weekend? That's not a good internal multiplayer for the weekend.

[Johnny Tran]

75% on RT right now.  I don't factor in reviews too much but we know it's probably at least "solid" and the horror genre has been cleaning up the last two summers. This is sci-fi/horror from a major franchise and directed by Scott.   I can't see a drop from $51M  all the way down to $30M.  I'd be shocked.

75% on rotten? Lol this Alien is worst then Prometheus
