Kong was in March though, this is in Summer.

 

I think around 30-32 million is what we're looking at.

2.66M

12M

13M

Tarzan -

 

2.55 m in previews

34.2 m OW

 

LOT's Sun drop was only 7% as Mon was July 4th.

If Sun had fallen 20% the FSS would have been 36.75 opposed to 38.5

 

imo Mummy gonna be O/U A:C with better legs for ~90 dom

Like mall cops but with much less power and respect. 

 

 

Respect the mall cops that serve their country.

With China and Japan AC could make $280M.

That would be solid and would make A:C a success in my book.

As to Mummy's legs, LOT too is rotten for critics (35%) and audience (59%) on RT.

 

Yet it did 3.28x off the FSS depsite Sunday being inflated (down 7% due July 4 Monday).

 

Not that Mummy should necessarily do that but if it has a 33-35 ow, I wouldn't rule out 100 dom.

Anyways, seems like a solid comparission. Well known name. Many naysayers before opening. Against a strong holdover.

Tarzan benefited from 4th July and Summer. Mummy has stronger cast.

 

Oops, I listed the animated version OW.

 

Gonna edit that now.

Are you guys really making the case that Rotten Tomatoes is never fake news ?

Or are you implying people are sheep and blindly follow a number witout questionning it ?

If it hasn't been debunked then it isn't so-called fake news.

 

Also, there are cases when a new organization makes an error and cases where they knowingly lie to push an agenda.

 

Only the latter is a fake news story.

Not quite the same. F4 was 9% on RT with an 18%  audience approval.

Been saying this week that both Tom Cruise and monster (whether Kong monsters or scary monsters) movies tend to skew older and don't show up in presales or cause audiences to rush out. This actually beat what I thought it would do on previews. I can see it opening around Alien: Covenant but having better legs for 85-90m total. If it gets over 100, I could see it getting a sequel with OS gross.

 

Also @WrathOfHan yes Alien got better reviews but it's pretty much impossible for a movie to have worse legs, whether the IM or the multiplier in general. Sorry bud.

Everyone kept trying to push King Arthur as the Tarzan of 2017 but tbh I've been thinking this week there's a good chance that the Mummy is. Bad reviews, generally considered a mess leading in, a failed franchise starter.....but then it has a leggier than expected run for adult audiences domestically and does well overseas. This has a better budget, too.

 

But we'll see how it does today. Maybe it'll be more frontloaded than I expect.

Not including superhero movies, Tom Cruise could have the 2nd biggest opening of the summer so far.

 

The Mummy needs over 36.1 m.

Wrong thread ?

[Hiccup23]

Warcraft took 3.1M during previews and ended with 24.2M for the weekend. I don't think Mummy will be that front loaded.

 

Friday- $12.7M

Saturday- 12.5M

Sunday- 9.0M

Weekend-34.2M

Total- 90-95M
