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

Recommended Posts



What was Disney's reason for the -38% Sunday estimate for BATB...leaving room for GOTG2 in case they want to pump it up to 65?

That's doesn't seem likely, cause GOTG2 is doing so well anyway and was always gonna get the '#1 movie this weekend' headline.

At the same time, they surely knew BATB was gonna do better than -38%.

Amy already has an apparently big part in that war family drama later this year, so saying Snatched is gonna kill her career is premature, and those people are probably just letting their hatred of her cloud their judgement to being with. Countless stars survived a flop early in their careers.

Didn't it get A+ Cinemascore or something? :) probably isn't nearly as bad as made out to be and is at least unintentionally funny. 

 

Got B+ but it's RT audience score has increased by 3% over the weekend. Started off at an already good 76% and is now at 79%.

I think usually it drops after the od as fans are out of the way. This one could do 80%+ potentially.

Haven't seen the movie but have no doubt believing it must be at least decent.

Happy to see Snatched rise by $2m. I knew it wouldn't drop 7% on Sunday.

 

$50m+ looks secure now if it follows Hot Pursuit (it had a better multiplier, bigger Saturday increase, better reviews and better Cinemascore- so it should follow it with ease).

Yeah Snatched did ok all things considered. I don't know any other female comedians besides Melissa McCarthy or Tina Fey/Amy Poehler that could have opened this film any higher. Snatched will probably finish with 50m+.

Valerian gives me vibes of Jupiter Ascending and screams bomb. 

I think the studio expects Valerian to make it big money overseas,not in the US. Bresson is an acquired taste for many Americans; his sci films , for lack of a better word,are a bit to "European" for many Americans.

One of the criticsims of Jupiter Ascending was that the Warchosski's were trying to make a Luc Bresson style film,and failing. Visually, certainly, "Jupiter" was very much a homage to "The Fifth Element".

 

I actually like Bresson's more grounded thrillers "Le Femme Nikata" "Point of No Return" to his sci fi extravangas.

The Sword In The Stone was actually far financially successful then some of Disney's classics like Sleeping Beauty & Alice In Wonderland upon its original release. Disney just didn't give it the huge re-release treatment like it did with most of the Walt era classics. 

Sword In The Stone did well at the box office, but just four years later "Camelot"  which is sort of a sequel ( both are based on T.H. White's novel "The Once And Future King") was a  expensive flop for Warners.

At the time, critics noted that the animation in SATS was not nearly as good as in Disney's previous films. That was because "Sleeping Beauty" was a disappointment at the box office, barely making it's money back,and Disney decided to cut back on the costs of future animated features. Or rather, Walt's brother Roy, who actually ran the business end of the studio, convinced Walt to cut back. Roy saw the animated features as an expensive gamble when those Disney live action comedies cost next to nothing to make and were sure fire money makers.

There were definently two classes of Disney's animated features:Those that Disney saw had rerelease potential, and those that did not. The Latter could be sold to TV as Disney "Special Events" or used for the weekly Disney TV show. SATS was one of the latter.

The original came out during the summer season when daily grosses are significantly bigger in comparison to May. In this sense, it will be highly misleading to suggest or imply that Vol. 2 is on the same multiplier trajectory as the original GOTG movie. On the other hand, Vol. 2 had a much bigger OW which largely explains for its higher rate of decay.
