Still weird that an acclaimed film like WW opened so far below Suicide Squad and Batman V Superman, the cinematic equivalents of shit and vomit.

 

Marketing works. Those two movies had more compelling marketing.

 

But I'm guessing Wonder Woman's multiplier will tell the real story.

I mean, can you imagine someone nonchalantly walking up to the box office saying "two for Captain Underpants, please"?

 

Exactly what I said yesterday as I was walking up to the box office, nonchalant voice and all.

Once it was clear it is crossing 100, wb may have underestimated sunday, so actuals above estimate headline can be achieved.

 

Yeah, agreed w/that. (Just in case it may have cause confusion, when I said "I think the Sunday drop is overestimated, too", I meant the drop itself, not the number)

Looks like WB could be overestimating that Sunday drop 28%? Higher than Alien Covenant?

 

So happy to see it over $100m!!

 

Maybe WB is thinking that the 2  game of the NBA finals has an impact on Sunday's numbers.

Cars will not doing less than $ 180m and actually has good chances to make $ + 200m if it's good like reactions said.

 

Lot of people has underestimating this!

I don't know why Cars 3 would do 200m+ when the last one did sub 200m. 

160-180m is a good target though.

[MyMovieCanBeatUpYourMovie]

A nice round number looks good in a headline.

 

I think the fact that Wonder Woman beat every other MCU solo debut film is something that will be pointed out and celebrated, as it ought to be.

Is that Deadline relaying official studio estimates or Deadline doing their own projections? Anyway, both would probably be close to one another as the number came rather late...

WONDER WOMAN WITH $100.5M

 

 

#WonderWoman's $100.5M 3day opening is stronger than $72.9M 5day launch of 2005's #Batman Begins, even adjusted for today's prices.

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS got wedgied by Wonder Woman as DreamWorks' animated flick debuted with just $23M. Still, should hold well.

The coming weekdays and next weekend's gonna be much more interesting. How well the strong WOM will bode for a sub 50% drop and keep the 3x multis alive. 

 

Why would a superhero movie drop less than 50%? 

 

Logan, original GOTG, Deadpool dropped high 50's. Even Dark Knight dropped 50%. 

 

I swear some people seem determined to have really unrealistic expectations for this film for some weird reason. 

[Blankments]

I mean it's ultimately a good number but damn it's disappointing considering expectations. Was hoping for at least 103m because 100m on the dot looks like a fudge

[Krissykins]

A $100m opening for the first big female superhero origin film, directed by a woman, tracking at $65m originally, cannot seriously be referred to as "disappointing". 

 

Some people's predictions were just silly and not based on anything other than a hunch.

And then they act disappointed when the film doesn't meet said expectations. 

 

Anyways with that Saturday number, WW is crossing the century mark. Woohoo!! Now it's all about the legs. I am thinking it can pull a 2.8-2.9x after seeing how it held throughout the weekend. I wouldn't be shocked if it does more though

That's right and same people will be disappointed when it will have normal drop.

If that women above 25 maintajns further in run, I feel this will have strong weekdays but normal weekend drops which could change  in late weekends.

This piece of shit didn't appeal to woman over 25 (usually, the demo that gives the strongest legs), Wonder Woman is appealing to a completely new kind of demo to SH movies, and I don't think it will follow the same pattern of previous movies. 

 

That "piece of shit" is gonna end up with the higher world wide gross than WW. So guess this is a bigger s*#*???

 

I laugh at the people expecting this to buck trends and precedents and do something completely new when it has given no indication whatsoever so far of doing that. It has had normal drops and multi's so far comparable to other well received SH movies like logan, DS and gotg2. 

 

As to the poster above the "piece of shit" had far better saturday drop than this. And WW looks set to follow DS's OD to OW multi which i had earlier posted. Heck its possibly gonna be lower than that. 

 

Doctor Strange - 2.61 - 101.3 OW

 

I think it will follow DS's legs (~2.75) and do 280 +/- 10m Dom and 380m OS for 650m WW compared to 680 for DS.

Thinking a 55-60% drop for next weekend for Wonder Woman. 

[Blankments]

I guess I more mean in comparison than anything

 

a Wonder Woman movie should be blowing the 8th Fast and Furious movie out of the water but imo WB didn't give it the same marketing team as their other DC films while also it having to deal with their negative receptions anyway

 

Legs should be great at least, it's got a month to itself ahead of it 

[franfar]

Do we know the gender split from this OW? And what are the splits for other SHMs?
