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

That number is not good for The Mummy. Universal better thank their lucky stars it broke out overseas.

 

Also Tarzan was not competing with Wonder Woman so I don't get that comparison.

Summer RT Watch Update: Like last summer movie season, I'm tracking films' critical reception via Rotten Tomatoes. So far, ‘It Comes at Night’ is one of the better reviewed films of the summer, and ‘The Mummy’ is one of the worst reviewed films of the summer. 

 

2017 Summer Films RT Watch (Wide-Release — May/June/July/August)

1. Wonder Woman — 92% —  7.6 rating
2. It Comes At Night — 85% — 7.3 rating
3. Captain Underpants — 84% — 6.8 rating
4. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 — 81% — 7.1 rating
5. Megan Leavey — 78% - 6.5 rating
6. Alien: Covenant — 71% — 6.4 rating
7. The Dinner — 51% — 5.6 rating
8. Everything, Everything — 46% — 5.4 rating
9. Snatched — 36% — 5.1 rating
10. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales — 29% — 4.7 rating
11. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword — 28% — 4.6 rating
12. Baywatch — 20% — 4.0 rating
13. The Mummy — 18% — 4.2 rating
14. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul — 17% — 4.2 rating

Last summer half of the 42 wide-release films tracked were “rotten” on RT, and only 10 of the films had an 80+%. This summer isn’t off to a great start either.

 

Peace,

Mike

That was a fine movie.  Very cliche, but it provides some good summer fun and delivers on what it promises on in the trailers.  I do hope the Dark Universe continues, it seems to be very promising despite the middling quality of this one.

Mummy not breaking out will help Transformers 5.

TF5 and Mummy have enough gap that even a break out for Mummy wouldn't have meant much to TF5.

Even if Mummy had opened to 50m, it would be 20-25 next weekend and then on following Wed TF5's performance would have been oblivious to Mummy's 2nd Wed.

RT dropped to 17%

 

 

The battle for Fantastic 4's lucky number 9 is on

It Comes At Night is another film that requires chicanery to get people to see it.

 

Should be a rotten film. Very angry right now. [mod edit]

[a2k]

This could open below Scorpion King.

Should be a rotten film. Very angry right now. And what a horrible title.

Is it a worse title than The Babadook?

I do agree (and warned) that their marketing was going to piss people off and cause them to not like a very quality film.

Out of likes but I love that you used the word "chicanery" - well done!

Wait till people find out that Dunkirk is a documentary.

Or they could both bomb, since BO isn't zero-sum.

WW this weekend:

 

What I think will happen:

16

22

15.5

OW 53.5M

 

What I hope will happen:

17.5

24.5

17

OW 59M

 

As for the Mummy, honestly, as much as I like Cruise, this is Fraser's franchise. Mummy without him is like Pirates without Depp, at least for me.

Audience reception seems pretty tepid. I expect a huge drop next week.

[That One Girl]

Ok, the fuck?  There's a trailer attached to Cars 3 next week called "Olaf's Frozen Adventure."

In tr Scorpion King movie he appears as himself and not CGI. It was The Rock's first leading man hit
