I can't be 100% sure but I have a feeling that it's total domestic gross may end up lower than that of Transformers: Age of Extinction.

Crazy kiwi. 

 

Don't do drugs.

Sorry guys, I think I got ahead of myself there.

 

I'll try rein it in a little.

I am not convinced that Michael Bay is capable of this "reining it in."

You know you done fucked up the 3-day OW is potentially gonna be smaller or very lightly bigger than the 40M posted by the 10M budgeted Shyamalan/Blumhouse January horror Split starring James McAvoy.

 

If Paramount doesn't file for bankrupcy two months from now, get Transformers totally rid of Michael Bay already (and I'm not just talking about Bumblebee).

Baby Driver should've moved to today.

 The accident was in Angrois(Coruña,Galicia,)and people from my town died in that train.

Anyway a movie flop isn't like a mortal tragedy...

Paramount is kind of fucked 2018. The only surefire hit they have is Mission Impossible. Bumblebee might flop. I'm betting (and planning eventually a club) that Gnomes will do under SOOW OW ($55M) and Amusement Park will do Stork numbers. Action Point will do decent numbers but won't be a blockbuster.

Honestly, considering that this Summer seems to be abiding by the rule of "good movies win", it might just survive okay opening on June 28th. Despicable Me 3 attracts a different audience, The House probably won't be DOA like Rough Night but it also won't be big and doesn't have that much hype either (it's certainly not going to be matching the likes of Daddy's Home or Get Hard anytime soon... Sisters, tops), and... let's be honest: the Rotten Tomatoes rule does seem to be having some impact on opening weekends this year (even Alien: Covenant started out pretty big on Thursday previews, and It Comes At Night also seemed promising at 1st, but both just happened to lose audience trust along the way). And w/Transformers and Cars dead and WW not big enough to take anything away from it, Baby Driver might actually do not that bad after all.

 

Too bad that Spider-Man is gonna kill it dead. But ehh.

This is just...god-awful. RIP Paramount. I don't think anybody could have predicted that TF5's 5-day would go under ROTF's opening day. For Christ's sake, we're looking at a possible $125m total. 

 

Another 2017 summer movie potentially doing less than Ghostbusters.

Man, the TF franchise is completely dying both domestic and even overseas. This makes Pirates 5's performance look much better in retrospect. But why is there only the TF number and not the other Thursday numbers?

[filmlover]

Revenge of the Fallen adjusts to $476M today and didn't have 3D. This new one won't even sell 1/4th the admissions. There's no positive way you can spin this: the franchise is a shadow of its former self.

Thu nos never come in this early...or any weekdays number for that matter.

Asgard made an exception for TF5 as it's supposed to be day 2 of a major movie.

The difference is T5 won't lose money.  It's a shadow of it's former financial glory as a franchise but it will still make money for Paramount.
