WEEKEND THREAD | 3-DAY ESTIMATES: Pirates - 62M ; Baywatch - 18M; Alien - 10.5M (71% drop) like. F8 crosses 1B OS.

[baumer]

Well screw the critics. Baywatch was pretty hilarious and a really fun ride. Zac Efron is great Dwayne Johnson is awesome and the eye candy is amazing.

Sure there are...Hollywood accounting;)...

 

The Australia exchange rate (now insanely advantageous) and tax rebates are probably more helpful.  That and Depp and Bruckheimer probably got less. 

 

Still even $300m would be about $100m less than the last one so...

Alien: Covenant dropped 18% yesterday to $1.78M. Looking at a Godzilla level plunge this weekend.

[WrathOfHan]

i probably won't see it. ship's sailed on SPLIT as well, probably.

Aight, them I'm not gonna watch Raw. Nevermind the fact I spent 6 bucks to rent is yesterday; I'll throw that money down the drain for you.

Why did I raise my GOTG prediction?  

 

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

Not saying it will happen again but GOTG has been underpredicted every weekend based on early Friday numbers.

I imagine you can easily sell a break out hit marketing if it achieve to be the biggest WW2 movie ever unadjusted, that would be 482 million WW I think (so pretty much close to you 500 ww figure), saving private ryan was 481 and pearl harbor 449 million..

 

That a worst case scenario, the maximum needed for any good PR team.

I said that it would have a Godzilla multiple once that I watched it. The movie is a disappointment to both audiences: franchise fans and the public seeking for a good horror/sci-fi movie. I really wonder if Fox will greenlight another movie with the WOM that this one is receiving, especially when this movie will struggle to reach $150m OS, at this pace, I can see a future sequel missing $100m OS, which would be a disaster.

You have your crazy theories but I admire how often you go against the grain. You'll tell it how it is in your view rather than a preconceived notion of what you were expecting.

Lol

I'll get in to disagreements over it obviously but it's better than talking to someone who is always a certain way. Uber pro, Uber negative, always agrees with critics, thinks critics are scum and on and on sucks. Give me your real opinion and be able to have an open mind.

Definitely not hitting the tracking number. sub 70m happening.

 

Too bad if true, because i saw POTC5 today and it was quite good. Deserves a good box office run.

I don't think I'm going to be alone in thinking that Baywatch is funny and a good time. I think the audience is going to like it plenty. The audience I saw it with laughed pretty much as much as I did so I don't think it's a far stretch to say this is one that the critics are going to get wrong.
