I expect Cars 3 Friday number will

go up. Normally I would say it would have a better multiple than Cars 2 but DM3 is making me hesitant 

 

Yeah, that's the reason why I don't think it'll do that much better than 160-170M tops (I think it's gonna struggle making Boss Baby numbers) - Despicable Me 3 is coming and it's probably going to annihilate its legs. Still, I think that its multiplier will be slightly better than expected, not just cause of Father's Day, but also cause, well, better wom.

The highest grossing comedies of the summer will come in August: Hitman's Bodyguard and Logan Lucky  Right now I think BD will do 20M over its 5 day and The House 13M on OW.

 

13M is extraordinarily low.

Authorised biography, Steve Jobs never wrote an autobiography but he authorised Walter Isaacson to write a biography.

 

And, of course, the movie takes a great many liberties in terms of people and events.

There's no way I don't see it doing at least 20-25m.

I could see Hitman's bodyguard surprising. It has an amusing hook

As is awareness. 

[WrathOfHan]

Like seriously, a fucking Will Ferrell comedy shouldn't have this little buzz two weeks out. He's making the late night rounds next week, so maybe buzz picks up then.

Biopics do have to take artistic license or you're better off watching a documentary. Even something like Sully which was very good, made the NTSB the villains even though they were just doing their job.

Given how barren August is shouldn't be too hard.

T.E. Lawrence's family was outraged over LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and spent considerable effort trashing it in the press. Baseball purists got pissy over MONEYBALL. THE SOCIAL NETWORK is famously not very accurate in terms of Zuckerberg's character.

 

It's basically par for the course unless it's a formal, authorized biopic and then those tend to gloss over less-than-favorable moments.

This is the weekend thread, not the post-hot-pics-of-woman-I-like-or-stan-for thread.

Are you kidding me? I missed the DP talk in the last numbers thread and now this too?

[Zakiyyah6]

So much for Rough Night being a break out.

You highlighted Baby Driver. That likely won't be on many, if any, screens by August.

DM3 has a chance to do huge.  Last year 4 films directly targeting that demographics did gangbusters by the time summer was over : ZOOTP, TJB, PETS all doing 340-360 dom and DORY for 485 for a combined total of 1.5b. In addition KFP3 did 140+ and ANGRY BIRDS 105+ for ~1.75b for 6 films by summer end.

 

This year LEGO BAT and BOSS BABY combined have done ~350. CU looking at 75, CARS3 165 so 590 combined for 4 films + DM3 by summer end.

 

Any number from Illumination's recent pics, 270+ of SING to 360+ of PETS, wouldn't really surprise me but there is room to do the higher end of that range.
