WEEKEND THREAD | Actual: Wonder Woman 58.63M, Estimates: Mummy 32.2M, Underpants 12.3M, Pirates 10.2M, ICAN 6M

Terrific number for WW, glad we have people here nice enough to provide this information 

[Blaze Heatnix]

I'm just looking at boxofficemojo, and WW is actually trailing around Mockingjay part 2 numbers.

 

At this point ( 8 days of release ), Mockingjay was at 167 million domestic, while WW is at 163 million. Mockingjay also had a 49% drop for its second weekend. That movie finished its domestic run with 281 million. It had fine drops, except for the third weekend ( when it dropped 63% ).

 

So, let's calm down and not imagine WW can get 400 million domestic or even 350 million domestic, folks. If it happens, that's great. If it doesn't happen, don't get disappointed.

She's a superhero who actually feels heroic, we haven't had that in a while. She enjoys saving people, fighting for what's right and all that jazz. People miss that sort of thing.

 

And with all those qualities and a light touch on the gore and an even touch with the male characters, families can turn out for this in droves...

 

GOTG 2 got some families...WW will get all the families...

 

It only needs to be good to explode...WW is better than good (although not quite great) and that seems to be that "perfect quality needed" to be a stupid huge blockbuster - see Pets, JW, Dory, etc...

Yep, 40M for WW next weekend. Mark my words. That would be a 30% drop from 57M this weekend.

You mean the thing Marvel characters of the MCU have been doing since 2008 ?

Yeah, I missed that a lot since Dr Strange/GOTG Vol.2.

Time flies for sure.

That was near Thanksgiving though and had inflated weekdays

Yeh to be honest, no one can reasonably be disappointed in this movies performance anyway, even at this point.

Mockingjay Part 2's had Thanksgiving to somewhat soften the drops,

Plus it's weekday numbers were inflated because of thanksgiving, WW is going to fly past MJ2 with those numbers, it will probably pass MJ1 too.

Mockingjay Part 2 is a bad comparison. Two totally different times of year  and one opened was 20 million more. But bad box office comparisons are par for the course for Box Office Mojo now.

MJ2 and WW opened with pretty much the same.

I don't know why you guys don't just put that certain user on the ignore list. It's done wonders, to be honest. And I've never ever had to do that but I had to get rid of all the incoherent ramblings I was reading in all of these posts.

Are you really going to start the whole DC v Marvel thing here? Not what I expected from you, to be honest.

We do have a @Water Bottle/@God Emperor Tele-sanctioned/approved Battle of the CBM Universes thread for that...

Youve been gone far too long my friend, if that's not what you expected.

You're right, my mistake. Still I don't care for the comparison because different times of year and Mockingjay2 had Thanksgiving.

WONDER WOMAN OFF JUST 45% WITH $57.2M, WONDEEEEEER!!, THE MUMMY MUMMIFIED WITH $32M!!

 

 

Incredible 2nd wknd hold for #WonderWoman dipping only 45% to $57.2M. Super hero films almost never hold this well. Total rises to $205M.

— Gitesh Pandya (@GiteshPandya) June 11, 2017

DC 2nd wknd drops: #BvS 69%, #SuicideSquad 67%, #ManofSteel 65%, TDKR 61%, TDK 53%, #WonderWoman 45%, #BatmanBegins (WED opening) 43%.

— Gitesh Pandya (@GiteshPandya) June 11, 2017

Perhaps in a parallel universe a debut of $32M for a big-budget blockbuster is worthy, but not this one. Universal's THE MUMMY is a misfire.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 grossed an estimated $6.24M this weekend. 38-Day total stands at $366.36M.#GotGVol2 #BoxOffice

Without much fanfare, Bleecker Street's MEGAN LEAVEY arrived in 1,956 theaters and found $3.7M--a poor PTA of $1,926.
