The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

[HesAPooka]

every tom cruise movie since war of the worlds has been the real test for tom cruise and every single one ends up okay or better when all is said and done.

This could be the second biggest disappointment of the summer after Baywatch.

Jeez. WW's  second weekend could be 2x Mummy's opening. 

 

Heck, it could be greater than Mummy's DOM.

Yikes. If Mummy does that bad then those 60m predicts for WW may actually happen. I mean even just by default, the summer money has to go to something non-animated before July. Maybe Transformers will actually do surprisingly well, though I still doubt it does much better than Pirates 5. 

 

On the bright side, this is great news for Spidey, Apes, and Dunkirk. All three might breakout big if WW has been the only non-kids movie keeping summer afloat for weeks.

King Arthur was a flop the moment it showed up on the calendar.

Not a disappointment, as it was destined to fail from the start.

How my theater looks tomorrow night:

 

The Mummy: 18/78

 

ICAN and Megan have sold nothing for tomorrow. Looking into Friday, The Mummy has sold 56 seats for all showings (49 2D/7 3D), Megan has sold 8 seats, and ICAN has sold 4 seats. It'd be awesome if I'm the only one in my showing of ICAN

This is crazy, there's no way The Mommy does that. There's an over $100M audience for this movie out there. It has Tom Cruise, it has a good marketing push, there's no way it does less than 100M. Worst case scenario it will do The Legend of Tarzan numbers.

 

No Way? Really? 

 

We'll see.

1. Wonder Woman

2. The Mummy (2017)

King Arthur and disappointment don't really go together, cause I don't think many people were expecting a big performance from that in the 1st place.

 

But Alien: Covenant does say cheerio to that, though.

[filmlover]

Yeah, WB had clearly written King Arthur off a while back given the multiple delays.

 

Audiences are not here for product that either isn't very appealing or, in the case of the sequels following movies that weren't well-received, were unwanted this summer. We'll see if the animated sequels following movies with tepid receptions (Cars 3, Despicable Me 3) are immune to this.

The Mummy is selling horribly at all of the reserved seating theaters around me with most shows hardly selling 10 tickets for tonight (even the iPic theater hasn't come close to selling out despite everything usually selling out there). At this point I won't be surprised if it flops completely ala Fantastic Four 2015.

Fantastic Four opened to $25M. Are we even sure that The Mummy is gonna do that

I thought DM2 had a good reception?

I was referring to Minions (which definitely got a tepid reception).

While there are obvious facts to be concerned, the Mummy looks to me more backloaded and walkups friendly than a well known superhero franchise.
