Are those your personal rankings or ones from Rotten Tomatoes?  If they are personal, I might do some swapping:)...

You can't take anything Deadline says about WW weekend numbers, right now.  We really don't know what it will do on Sunday.  Could increase, decrease or stay flat....or other options as well.

 

Plus, they're not giving us the Friday numbers they're going off of.  

 

They arent terrible at projecting but I don't trust weekend projections to be accurate on Friday afternoon.

Every comedy has flopped at the box office since the election

Agreed. I put much, much stock in THR/Variety. Ironically, this go 'round, unlike the past two weekends, they have Wonder Woman lower than Deadline.

THR - 35

Variety - 35

Deadline - 37.5

I can't think of one that wouldn't have flopped no matter what. Donald Trump is to blame for alot of terrible terrible things, but a bunch of crap comedies underperforming ain't one of them.

35m seems high for All Eyez on Me, it's a movie I'd expect to be frontloaded.  But there's potential that it's countermarketing well.

[nomyth]

Yeah, I don't really trust any WW projections yet. I wanna see a Friday #.

 

For all we know, they could have WW at 35 based off of a 10-11 Fri. But if it does over 10, 40 is definitely in play.

In live action there is some exception, domestic ranking since November 8 (comedy over 1 million), according to the numbers:

 

The Boss Baby	$172,169,543
Why Him?	$60,323,786
Office Christmas Party	$54,767,494
Baywatch	$53,547,500
Captain Underpants: The First Ep…	$50,613,660
Snatched	$45,276,729
Going in Style	$44,658,044
Fist Fight	$32,187,017
How to Be a Latin Lover	$31,981,297

Why him, Office Christmas party and Going in Style did well (more than comfortably doubled their big budget, while being domestic heavy)

I would label Lego Batman as a comedy as well if you are putting Boss Baby on there, which has done the most with $175,750,384

As much as I hate Pixar for making these dumb Cars movies, I'm completely okay with it as long as they keep making Inside Out's.

They don't really, as much, lately.

[Webslinger]

The vast majority of comedies released since November also looked incredibly unfunny, so I'd chalk it up to subpar products pulling subpar numbers rather than some sort of political connection.

 

However, while it was sold as horror and definitely plays more in that vein than in a comedic fashion, I would argue that the humor in Get Out was a huge part of its audience appeal; therefore, in a sense, we have had a pseudo-comedic live action hit in 2017.

That's b/c they started focusing on sequels...only sequels I thought were Pixar-quality were the Toy Story ones...

Question is does Baumer go back to his old rebellion or contempt for Pixar win?

I could see The Hitman's Bodyguard doing $25-30m OW, it's such a simple but appealing premise and the marketing has been solid so far. 

 

Wonder Woman's third weekend gross is in line with what I thought it would do and it's higher than the last three DCEU films' third weekend. 

 

"Higher" is quite the understatement here.

 

Wonder Woman's totally reasonable 3rd week-end predictions from early numbers: $35,000,000, could even reach $40,000,000

 

Rest of DCEU 3rd week-ends:

 

Man of Steel $20,737,490

Batman V Superman $23,363,079

Suicide Squad: $20,855,401

 

Almost double some of them. Could double Man of Steel/Suicide Squad (1% chance) -- 

 

It's not even in the same fucking ballpark, and that was with the lowest opening of them all by quite a margin.

 

This run is unreal for a CBM 

 

For reference, Guardians of the Galaxy's 3rd week-end gross was $25,115,564, although GOTG's secret box office formula came more in the form of a -0.7% (!!) 5th week-end drop.
