PotC5 is gonna tank 10M from PotC4's OD. Sort of amazing.

Possibly more if that estimate goes down later on.

Matinee grosses are starting to come in and so far the fifth installment of Disney’s, Jerry Bruckheimer and Johnny Depp’s Pirates franchise is playing well. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is on track to take in about $23M to $25M today — that includes the $5.5M it grossed in previews last night. So that means that right now, it’s estimated to take around $65M for the three-day with a four-day weekend of right around $75Mto $80M. On the flipside, Paramount Pictures’ R-rated hopeful Baywatch may only take in $6.5M to $7M today with a four-day holiday of $23M to $24M and a five-day cume right around what we said this AM: $$27M to 29M.

Matching Maleficent for the OD basically. If it gets 25M, I can see a 62-65M 3 day and a 75-78M 4 day

[WrathOfHan]

Good number for POTC all things considered. I shouldn't have downgraded my 65M prediction to 60M LMAO BAYWATCH

That's X-Men: Apocalypse territory, which I guess is somewhat hopeful.

 

Then you hear what @CJohn says, and you ask yourself if it's really worth it to continue these films if you're in Bruckheimer or Depp's position.

[filmlover]

I do think the terrible reviews plus marketing that had no memorable gags (then again, given the reviews, they probably didn't have much to work with) pretty much did Baywatch in. Probably didn't help that the property was never beloved in the first place (nobody watched that show because it was any good, ya know).

Hey, theaters are packed here tonight and there is only one movie selling tickets, so...

The trailers never gave me confidence in it.

Baywatch actually has a 71% audience score which isn't bad but not amazing. So audience definitely has grown to like it more than the critics.

 

To take into account, is audience is made 100% of people that don't mind (or look at) critics thought (or even prefer movie with bad critics and just go see those). If it was a more general audience, that score would be probably lower. It is a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Baywatch...... wow, that is pitiful to say the least.

I dont think so. I think you need something fresh and original to break out like Curse of the Black Pearl or Transformers. Plus its facing Dunkirk.

 

Valerian isn't fresh or original?

Next thing you tell me is nobody gets Playboy to read the articles.

Chances of NOS pulling the trigger and canceling it all together here (current release date is July 20)?

[John Marston]

Hope that Pirates number can hold

As "fresh" and "original" as GITS.

The original Baywatch had very beloved asspects. It's a shame it came and left too early.

Apocalypse previews to OD multi: 3.21

POTC previews to OD multi: Anywhere from 4.18-4.55, and that's assuming the range doesn't go higher

 

70M isn't out of reach if it hits the high end.

If by "here" you mean Portugal... well, if we really made a difference, The Transporter Refueled would've been a mega hit.

 

Thank God that we don't

 

[Except for Life's sake... and King Arthur, poor guy.]

 

As far as Baywatch goes, I don't think they're gonna cancel it, cause it's The Rock and Zac Efron, and people here like bad movies

[franfar]

Those Baywatch #s are abysmal. It'll be a struggle to hit 70m at this point
