People got tired of Jack Sparrow. he has very specific characteristics (drunken, odd, crazy) that are fresh the first few times, but get tired if there's too much.   that's why most action movie heroes that stand the test of time don't really have any strong characteristics. people can transfer themselves to them.

 

i'm curious how fast people will get tired of deadpool

I take it that's good, at least for horror standards.

 

It is fine, I guess. I am not sure if it is enough to ensure his next movie gets a theatrical release here, tho.

Aww come on, they better do it. Ever since the Marcelo era started, we proved that we're worthy of the Peele time and time again.

My bet is that they will probably try again, but this time with a fast launch instead of a 2 and a half months delay.

The holdovers Marvel/Disney’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 may end up with a three-day take of $19M and a four-day around $24M while Fox and Ridley Scott’ s Alien: Covenantmay take in anywhere between $13M and $14M for the weekend and $17M by the end of the four-day holiday.

 

Also DHD changed their ends for Pirates from $23M-$25M to $24M-$26M.

[Lestranger]

So we are looking at 180 total dom for Pirates? Doesn't seem bad considering the disaster of greenlighting the film in the first place.

Y'all want some YT view updates? Tough shit, you're getting them!

 

Spider-Man's new trailer has 2.6M views on Marvel and 2.7M on Sony. Good numbers!

Valerian only has 900k views. Not good numbers!

Wonder has 850k views. Ok numbers!

[WrathOfHan]

Why did I raise my GOTG prediction?  

 

Alien is dropping 60%+ on Memorial Weekend. Let that sink in for a moment

It was expected. It wouldn't surprise me if it pulled a Godzilla type of hold.

World building of exotic planets with strange creatures.

CGI based spectacle, spaceships.

Weta Digital & ILM.

Cameron & Besson are good friends.

Besson thought Valerian was possible to make only after he saw Avatar.

lol Alien Covenant is not summer blockbuster. Why they gave it a May release is beyond me
