Ppl keep saying that I'm wondering if every huge movie is gonna underperform or do just ok numbers this summer?

 

 

Wonder Woman has everything lined up to break out. Even a 110-120M OW would be massive.

I don't think so. I'm looking at some comedies and other midbudget fare to break out. 

Either Rough Night, The House, or The Hitlans Bodygaurd or Girls Trip

 

or All Eyez on Me, Dunkirk, Detroit 

one or two of these films will unexpectedly do 100m+

 

Forgot about All eyez on me. Think it could break out like Straight Outta Compton, but I haven't seen much marketing yet. Transformers and Spidey will make a lot, but they'll be in line with most expectations.

[John Marston]

Pirates preview number is the same as Star Trek Beyond which made 59m

[Hatebox]

Just discovered that in the UK it's called Pirates of the Carribean: Salazar's Revenge.

 

Catchy title!!

That is a good number in a vacuum, an horrible number considering the franchise. Pirates 4 did 4.7M without any previews, only midnights in 2011. Thinking 75M 4-day currently unless it holds much better than expected.

All Eyez doesn't need to huge numbers to be profitable

10 Memorial Day weekends ago, the third one made $13.2M in Thursday night showings that started at 8:00. This is one franchise whose best days are definitely in the past.

Since were talking Pirates I was just thinking was the drop between DMC and AWE seen as a big surprise back then?

Bodes well for Wonder Woman next weekend.

 

Why is that exactly?

[Arlborn]

DO we basically have a weekend thread for Pirates and another one for Baywatch? Cause that's what it seems to me.

I don't recall many of us on mojo saying AWE was going to do similar domestic numbers as DMC which broke all of the opening records. If anything AWE WW performance was a bit of an upside surprise.

[YM!]

Han Solo will likely do sub $150M four day and under $400M domestic.

I think this is the week-end thread you're looking for since it's stickied

It'll have been a month since the last big "event" film.

That's no longer a major reason for people to head to the movies, anyone else got an explanation?
