Thursday Numbers (June 22): TF5 8.1M, Cars 3 4.4M, WW 4M (Deadline)

Sucks that Bayformers will only be in theaters for about 2 weeks.  Now only have a short period of time to think about the possibility of seeing how King Arthur and Merlin mesh with giant robots.

Cars 3 and Wonder Woman both increased so I'm expecting to see increases all around....except for All Eyez On Me. That one is just gonna keep on plummeting. It seems no ones got any eyes for that film anymore.

Baby Driver isn't a large budget film, however.  I'm also not positive that The Mummy is going to net much more profit than it.

 

I also dont think Hollywood needs to stop franchise sequels, but they're getting inconsistent in their grosses.  They can't have more safe franchises if they don't take initiative to make them.  

 

Plus, audiences will grow tired of continued franchising.  We've seen more than enough sequels to big hits bomb to show studios are going to have a hard time relying solely on sequels in the long run.

I think universal and WB are following along right path. Big franchises with many small films. Universal did try to build new franchise, lets see what happens with it.

MCU and DCEU have so many characters, they have much easier to battle fatigue than other franchises.

Also few other franchise creating tried by studios- power rangers, king arthur. It's very difficult to open a new franchise.

But it can be done- john wick, conjuring, kingsmen.

This reminds me how bad Henry Cavill is at being Superman. He makes Ben Affleck look like a fantastic actor.

Cavill breathes Superman go take some sunlight lol

For some reason some people seemed to be offended when I said the movie was going to be front-loaded.

All Eyez on Me is a crime against humanity, that's why it's plummeting.

I originally had AEOM dropping 80%. That was too harsh, so I bumped it down to 70%.

Wonder Woman increasing and passing Man of Steel before it's 4th weekend.

 

[The Panda]

So what if Trans5mers doesn't even hit 100m DOM? 

[Jonwo]

I wonder if Universal regret passing on Baby Driver if it does well box office wise along with critical acclaim, Sony only paid half of the $34m budget so if it only does say $100-110m WW, that'll be a success for Sony.

All hail the king, apparently.

 

Yeah, I don't expect RT to stay as it is by the end of this year. Studio pressure will mount on it.

More

After a $4 million Thursday gross, Wonder Woman's 21-day total is $293.2 million. Wonder Woman has now passed Man of Steel's domestic total!

 

WW will pass all DCEU movies even in their adjusted domestic figures.

Boys, you gonna allow a girl kick your ass?!!

To make as much as possible.

100+ will happen easily. But 130+ is not a lock.

 

In comparison, POTC5 is looking at ~159.5 by the end of this weekend of 4.5-5.

So it has a good shot at 170 once the dollar bump is done. That looks like a healthy number post TF5.

It's not really a healthy number. Just because one moving is tanking pretty badly doesn't mean the other one isn't still tanking as well

If ID:R made it thanks to the 4th of July weekend, TF5 will as well

They own Working Title so they'll probably get some money but not very much compared if they'd distributed and funded it. 

 

The arrangement with Working Title is that they get first look but if they pass on it, WT can shop it to other studios. A few films have been made and distributed by Studiocanal like Legend, Rush for example but Universal or Focus usually take US rights.
