I was just reading the Deadline analysis of this weekend's box office and it seems they spoiled the big twist of The Mummy. Oh, this sucks, I still haven't seen it 

 

The article I'm talking about: http://deadline.com/2017/06/wonder-woman-beats-tom-cruise-mummy-at-the-box-office-1202110164/

 

I'm mad as hell!

 

Deadline has been shitting pretty hard on the Mummy for days, I'm not quite sure why. It's really vicious at it, I wonder what kind of grudge they have against it.

Deadline has always been pretty easy to influence. You can tell when a rival studio starts spilling nasty details (or possible details) on another movie.

I think it's goal should be beating MOS. DOM wise it looks like a lock

looks like? It definitely will make it. If it follows MOS' trajectory (2.96 from its 2nd weekend despite facing HUGE COMPETITION), it will finish with $315.4M domestically. Stay positive about this performance? It will continue to do big business.

So only 4 months without a super hero film.  Surprised nothing in August.

I would be completely shocked if New Mutants made that date

That's it. 

[Blaze Heatnix]

What the hell? Is deadline saying that Mummy had a budget of 370 million?

 

They're crazy. I see no reason to explain why are they hitting Mummy so hard like that. Really strange.

[WrathOfHan]

New Mutants will make its release date IMO. It's sounding pretty low budget.

[eddyxx]

Pretty crazy that 5 and a half years ago, Terminator 2, a film from 1991, was still at the top of this list...and now we have all these hits with female leads since then...

Not the production budget. Total bottom line cost.

[DAR]

It was mentioned earlier in the thread but that number is being disputed

Sounds about right.  Everyone says multiply production budget by 3 and anything in excess is profit.  The Mummy has a production budget of 125, so 370 is better than 375.  The Mummy should be profitable.

Currently scheduled to be Captain Marvel, but I won't be surprised if it is closely either preceded or followed by one of Silver Sable/Black Cat, Gotham City Sirens or Batgirl. We may see 3 female superhero movies in 2019.

 

I could see GCS or Batgirl take Valentine's Day 2020 if they don't debut in 2019. Would be a solid release date for WW2 but I suspect WB will slot for either fall 2019 or Summer 2020

Was it not by 2 not so long ago ? (and just 10 year's ago, doubling was the success bar not the profit start bar).

 

Big production budget movie usually can even make profit before doubling (production budget + participation bonus before profit) depending if they are domestic heavy enough.

 

If the 125 million budget is true, that the same budget than Matt Damon Elysium, and that made a 20 million profit with a 286 million box office performance.

My formula is production budget plus 10% compared to the estimated rentals broken up by the different rates for domestic/international/China. Approximates for the ratio of home video/television revenue streams and other costs to the theatrical details we get.
