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

[drdungbeetle]

Come on, where are the Snatched numbers, we all know Arthur is a rotting corpse already.

[filmlover]

What's everyone predicting for next week? I'm going with $40M for Alien, $11M for Everything Everything, and $9M for that Wimpy Kid thing.

No she didn't. Sanders got bodyed and Scarlett still gets Marvel movies.

 

Her name was in the FLOP headlines and the articles about it costing Paramount $60m+.  Not his.

 

It will take more than one large flop to hurt her career though since she has a far longer, more established and successful career than he does.

45M for Alien.

 

Not a fucking clue about the rest. Your numbers sound about right. I can see Wimpy Kid going lower.

No, it was all on him. The studio even specifically mentioned him, not her. I know you want to make this into some kind of ridiculous "oppresed womyn" storyline, but Sanders will take the fall and she has like a dozen more movies.

Wimpy Kid will flop hard. Sub $15M anyone?

[drdungbeetle]

I hope Alien tanks to 35 mil because #FuckThatRidley, but 41 mil is more realistic. I still expect crap legs if Prometheus is anything to go by.

Don't know and care about anything else.

15 mil is still pretty bad. That's like the lowest possible Snatched could do. Maybe 13 mil or so?

Hoping for a -70% for Alien Covenant on second week-end, forcing Fox to pull the plug on whatever Scott is cooking next for this rotting franchise.

I think it's going into single digits. It's been nearly half a decade since the last one (which put up franchise-low numbers).

Wimpy kid still has a readership though (even if it has no crossover appeal to adults)

I meant domestic total.

However they nuked their chances of attracting an audience older than 12 with that new Rodrick casting. It caused a lot of pre teens and teenagers in an uproar on social media.

They couldn't have used the same kid, he was too old for the role now. If Wimpy Kid goes down as bad as you say Hollywood will basically be done with PG live action movies.

lmao I've heard about that, what the hell? I know the actor from the previous movies has developed a following thanks to The 100 but he's definitely too old for that series now.

You're betting very wrong, especially since he doesn't have anything yet. Hell, even the Oblivion guy hasn't been signed to anything yet and that movie had a decent gross compared to Ghost.

 

Kosinski's doing Granite Mountain which is already done filming and releasing this October.
