[That One Girl]

Also I'm the only one in the theater and it starts in 11 minutes

Summer is gonna die quickly after July. There wont be a huge 400m+ hit, however business should be spread out.

Fall looks way more appealing this year(imo): It, Kingsman: Golden Circle, Ninjago, Blade Runner 2049, Mother!, Untitled Cloverfeild

Sounds like the plot to a Seinfeld episode.

 

Could definitely see that happening to George.

Fall this year is pretty solid, both It and Kingsman will be competing for the September record and biggest September grosser.

Knew it. Good hold for GV2, in line with CW, Ultron, and IM3, hopefully holds good next weekend. Poor Arthur. Hopefully Ritchie rebounds from this.

Y'all have done a grave injustice by trying to describe the V without linking to the original review:

I would have posted this right away but I cannot post from a phone.  The news/websites failed to make 2 great comparisons to the King Arthur number.

The Great Wall - 0.97/ $18,469,620 = 21.9 KA

The Huntsman - 1.00 / $19,445,035 = 22.4 KA

 

and also

Gods of Egypt - 0.800 / $14,123,903 = 20.30 KA

 

*Great Wall fell 20.8% on Sunday and did well in IMAX and 3D

 

For Snatched, I saw a website compare it to the 700,000 of How to be Single, and since HtBS had Valentine's Day on a Sunday, that should be the best comparison for Snatched.

 

How to be Single - 0.70 / $17,878,911 = 16.60 Snatched

Hot Pursuit - 0.45 / $13,942,258 = 20.14 Snatched

Nope. Not anymore.

 

Its the V.

At least Jude Law talked about playing Dumbledore in the FB sequels while promoting this flop.Everyone is as excited as him

Love how last weekend there was so much optimism whenever guardians would outperform expectations  and now it's all doom and gloom

And deadline already changed their mind. A little less doom.

Disney’s Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 in its second session has No. 1 tied up with $62.1M, -58% (a similar decline to Captain America: Civil War at same point in its run) for a 10-day take of $245.3M, less than $90M shy from overtaking its first volume GOTG at the domestic B.O.

Deadline updated their projections

Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur is not off to a royal start. Current weekend estimates from matinee figures show an industry forecast of $6 million for today, and $16.7M for the weekend,

 

Snatched, which is looking at $6.5M for today and a high teens opening with a potential shot at $20M.

I think everyone on the forums had G2 at 60-65M based on Tuesday and Wednesday. Looks like it will got that exact range.

I do wonder if WB will let Ritchie direct anymore big budget films after two flops? i think he'd be a good choice for a Lobo movie or Suicide Squad II but they'd have to keep him on a short leash

There might be a reason the Sherlock Holmes 3 news quieted down and soon after it was announced RDJ's next big non Marvel will be D.r Dolittle  and Ritchie's next movie is with Disney (though again they really have to get him a keeper)

[Mockingjay Raphael]

Uh, oh. That's not good for Snatched, I remember how Amy used to be sold as the "next Melissa McCarty" back in 2015, but she couldn't even produce more than one hit. She should turn Apatow into her Feig.

Ritchie won't be working as a janitor at Disney World at this rate.
