Didn't Ant-Man have 3.0+ multiplier?

 

He said he's limiting his definition of "blockbuster" to $90m openings. B89's opening adjusts to $95m including the Thursday previews. This was with a very limited theater count compared to today's films...played in about half as many theaters as modern blockbuster films. It shattered the weekend record by a huge percentage, very similar to SM1 or TA1. If B89's opening wasn't a blockbuster opening, then the likes of GOTG and IM1 damn sure were not.

So, then, The Incredibles fits the criteria too, no?

Starting to think that The Incredibles 2 will outgross Infinity War and Han Solo for #2 spot of Summer 2018 domestically. If it's like TS2/TS3 level quality it may even outgross Jurassic World 2.

27.4 +1.2 = 28.6M

Absolutely. It pulled a 3.7 multiplier with a $100m opening in today's dollars.

Incredibles isn't a CBM it's an original film unlike BH6 and Lego Batman which both had origins from comics, BH6 was a Marvel comic and Batman is Batman.

That drop for All Eyez on Me...... bad reviews and WOM really killed it! 

 

Cars 3 is gonna die when DM3 hits.

Druv said superhero movies, not CBM's. Incredibles is a superhero movie, though it has some gray area because it's also PIXAR. Not exactly going for the same audience as the typical superhero movie.

It's a shame that Cars didn't have any traction.

Cars 3 is better than the other Pixar threequel

All Eyez On Me was always going to drop, good reviews or not. These type of biopics tend to have a rush factor anyway.

Cars 3's most poignant moments hit far harder than anything in Toy Story 3. granted the film doesn't have any kind of consistency but oh well.

Both Batman Returns and Forever would fit the adjusted criteria as well.

Wouldn't be hard to be better than Toy Story 3.

GOTG2 should settle in low 390s. Has show solid growth over GOTG1. Couldn't have expected more from it.

This is how a sequel done right behaves. Compare with IM2 grossing a tad below IM1.

 

POTC5's China gross will settle at 173. Dom could end around that number or even go a little higher.

 

WONDR is gonna beat expectations again. 380+ is looking more and more like a done deal each passing day.

Thinking 390 dom + 410 os for 800 ww.

 

CARS3 2nd weekend is like the ow, good and healthy. Nothing great but managed to step around CARS2's negative reception.

Hopefully DM3 won't prevent it from hitting 160. Has a good shot at 500 ww with a China release. OS release dates are better and opens after DM3 in many markets.

 

TF5's 65-67 5-day though below expectations well below TF4's 5-day period (Friday-Tuesday) of 121, is still a relief after Wed and Thu doing 15.7 and 8.1.

I was sure it will miss 60 5-day and settle around 55, but 65+ looks safe. The late release date change surely turned out to be a factor.

(But if that's the case and Friday was the OD to part of the GA, then Sat bump will be muted and behave like the 2nd day in some ways opposed to day 4.)
