Universal is gonna be nervousing too about their monster universe. The rumors are that he signed onto these franchises because he's in financial trouble.

I also don't trust Fandango source at all since Warner Bros own them. Anything official that Deadline or HR or Variety picked up?

Yandereprime101189 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Well, if Pirates fails, it's not like Disney will hurt this year - What with Beauty and the Beast, Guardians, Star Wars, and Thor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Dracula Untold made 217m WW. Cruise Mummy should at least get over 300m which on a 125m budget should be fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Tracking generally does not give numbers. NRG tracking only posts awarness, definite interest and first choice from which sites extrapolate numbers. Those tracking are used by studios for final marketing pushes. There used to be RS tracking(which was generally a joke) and MTC(If I am not wrong that is Regal). But that is also driven by polling as ticket sales dont start by that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is less true than ever, the you cannot buy a first weekend is the current consensus (and for a long time) that why they are stressed so much and give people sequel/stuff proved to work with them so much.
