Watson is averaging a solid 250+ dom this year.

That's a totally fair point.... But I'm still giving Guardians the benefit of the doubt here. The difference in audiences (well, partly at least) might come in handy.

Not to mention it'll still keep it's 3D screens if that helps. TWS dropped 38% on third weekend and dealt with an IMAX opener. Ant Man dropped 48% on its third weekend with an IMAX opener.

Wow, Disney is way off with their sunday drop for BatB. This is not conservative, this is actually a very unprofessional projection.

 

Unprofessional?  WTF

[Poseidon]

Mh, strangely, Cinderella dropped 28% on Mother's day...for whatever reason.

Unprofessional?! Someone is way too emotional over an ESTIMATE. Not even sure what you are so upset over. 

[BoilingHotCoffee]

Beauty and the Beast underestimated again?

 

I don't believe this film could drop 38 percent on Sunday, especially for Mothers Day!

Especially because nobody except us cares about the box office estimates of BATB in week #9...

Eh, that is a bomb if I've ever seen one. Still want to see Arthur though.

And I really don't get why GotG is so underwhelming OS. With the reception of the first one I would've thought it would fly past what the first one did. It will barely beat it (and no, the ER is not THAT horrible).

Huh? I'm not upset at all. Why should I be?
I would just expect better knowledge from a distributor on MD weekend for a movie that very heavy skews female. 

Maybe they know something we don't know and/or have shifted some BO to other days and take that from the stronger Mother's day now.

A bit off topic, but looks like POTC5 will do great in China based on the presales. 1B WW should happen.

Europe it's doing great like it's predecessor. Asia and LA has increases but like it's predecessor, those markets don't really care for sci fi.

what is Alien Covenant's overseas number? 

[Movies4Life]

I would hope Guardians makes $35-$40M in its third weekend. It's second weekend drop is inbetween TWS and TDW. Hopefully, It should barely cross $400M. But, we'll have to see the actual's results tomorrow.

I loved Frozen ... my personal opinion 

 

Frozen was awesome! Best kiddie movie in many, many years. Inside Out was great as well. 

[Jake Gittes]

Not counting Iron Man the best third weekend drop for an MCU summer opener was The Avengers' 46%. That's probably the best GOTG2 can hope for. 

[miketheavenger]

Pirates could do 500m from China+U.S. alone. Hard to believe it won't get 500m from other territories seeing as OST made 734m without China.

[chrisman0606]

Logan had a low drop, was it a double feature with Snatched that caused the drop?

I think 1b is too big a number for even 250+ China to make possible.

240 dom + 260 China + 110 Japan = 610.

Removing China and Japan, rest of OS imo is likely to bring 300+ opposed to 400+.

I think 250-300 China makes 900+ more real while 1b will require POTC4 like Dom (240) and 100 Japan and then 400 OS-Ch-Japan.

OST exchange rates were wonky. It had drops in admission compared to previous 2 movies in many markets.
