The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

War is gonna drop hard this week isn't it?

[YM!]

Dunkirk (in Ultrascreen DLX)

Marcus North Shore Cinema

Mequon, WI

Thursday, July 20 (2 days before release)

 

6:00 - 22/301

8:35 - 19/301

11:10 - 5/301

 

 

The presales have definitely picked up from a few days ago. However Dunkirk may be more walk up based I think it'll do $6M-$7M and do $45M-$55M OW.

I think Atomic Blonde making the charts over Valerian (poor TOG) despite the latter being released this week seems like a decent sign. Won't be a big hit but should manage a solid $20-25M opening on account of a nifty marketing campaign.

 

Atomic Blonde OW over Emoji Movie OW?

Movietickets top sellers is gone from their mobile site.

It's possible, but I still think Atomic Blonde will probably have a smaller audience then The Emoji Movie, which could open with over 30m.

I think Emoji will crack $30m but it'll have mediocre legs.

32 / 97 is my prediction, maybe Sony could fudge it to 100m, if it opens with that number.

Yeah, I'm not expecting Emoji to be more than a modest success. 

[Brainbug]

We live in a world where THE EMOJI MOVIE could earn 100M..............................................

 

Spoiler

Why not John Wick 2

At this point I'm thinking Emoji will open around Captain Underpants and have better legs with the weak marketplace.

Probably should be enough to cover its budget though, and make it a success.

[filmlover]

I'm thinking $30-35M opening for Emoji Movie. Despicable Me not really dominating should allow room for at least one more animated movie this summer to do fine.

I wouldn't be surprised if Emoji has a similar total to Underpants.

Wonder what the budget is? I assume it's $60-70m. Smurfs just about broke even thanks to OS. If Emoji and The Star underperform and the 2018 slate does as well, it could be curtains for SPA

Probably better than The Dark Tower.

[FantasticBeasts]

The Emoji will open with 40m and finish with something like 130m

Probably & btw When Does The Embargo Lift For The Emoji Movie?

This weekend, my theater is getting Dunkirk on 3 screens (1 XD, 1 70MM, 1 in another one of the larger auditoriums), Girls Trip on 2 (both in larger auditoriums), and 2 for Valerian (neither in one of the biggest auditoriums). Imagine the weekend is gonna play out in similar fashion).

Around 60m, the same as their previous films, and if Emoji and The Star flop then SPA might as well pack it up anyway, but SPA being in danger would be bad for Sony anyway.

They still have the 2018 films but beyond that is up in the air.
