June 23-25 Weekend Thread | TF5 45M, Cars 3 24.0, Wonder Woman 24.9 (10th highest 4th weekend of all time and biggest 4th weekend of 2017)

[ttr]

I think we can all agree that DM3 is going to kill Cars next weekend. Monsters U fell 57% against DM2 after a better 2nd weekend hold, Cars 3 will likely see a similar drop if not higher.

What is considered to be normal 3rd weekend drop? I mean, how Cars 3 should behave not to be considered "killed by DM3"?

Good riddance, the whole franchise is a huge disappointment & yet the financials say from merchandising that it's essential to Disney's P&L.

Yup, Cars 3 is fucked no doubt.

I disagree. At least not more fucked than it is already [emoji6]

Makes me wonder what Disney was thinking . Even Dory had a three week gap until Pets

DM2 still had better legs even without the Wednesday opening. I still think the franchise had peaked even if DM3 still makes Bank

That's fair man. I'd add franchises usually peak in their first or second entry regardless. Especially among animated films.

I cant with people actually believing that Minions wasn't  liked by kids..

They could literally make a movie with Minions sleeping for 2 hours and kids would still LOVE it...

Anything over $11.5 million would be decent for Cars 3 next weekend. Coupled with summer weekdays, it would likely be on pace for $150-160 million DOM at that point.

Good question, when did both films pick their release dates? Would be helpful.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES: $517.8M Overseas Total / $677.8M Global Total #PiratesoftheCaribbean

 

 

with Japan to come 750m looks likely. Above TF5

[FantasticBeasts]

It's outstanding how huge a franchise Despicable Me is. For an animated series that's unheard of. It is basically up there with the hottest franchises only behind some absolutely top brands.

DIsney is thinking on the ~3B it's gonna make in merchandise, directly to Disney's pocket. Cars franchise is not for boxoffice money but merchandise tons of money. Cars 1 & 2 made well beyond 10B in merchandise revenues though they made 1B ww combined.

Exhibitor Relations @ERCboxoffice·2h

 

BAYWATCH has washed up $80M overseas, however don't hold out for BAYWATCH NIGHTS: THE MOVIE anytime soon.

THE MUMMY: $273.6M Overseas Total / $342.1M Global Total #TheMummy

 

 

Also Alien  Covenant is now at 154m overseas and 227m worldwide

Yeah, they print money with all of the kids stuff it's sells. Just go into your local department store and you are very likely to find it.

Okay, this is a true statement...especially for kids 3-9.  Mine have watched the DM3 trailer 300x and are STILL entertained enough to put it on again.  So, yes, I'll be seeing this in theaters, although probably not OW b/c of family plans...

 

BUT, right now, I'm watching screens for this movie.  All 3 of my theaters (mall and 2 local) only have 2 allocated, and my personal "it can only make $50M/screen max" rule means this might open to a Pets number as the max...but my theaters do update Tuesday/Wednesday and some of the holdovers have had BAD holds, so they might be torched to make way for 3rd screens.

 

Speaking of screens, my mall already has FOUR for Spidey...that's GOTG 2 level from earlier this summmer...just an FYI...

Even 800M is still at reach. 10 dom (could be 15) + 20 intl (could be 25) + 90 Japan (which will be on par with Pirates 2 and 3, considering Pirates 4 benefited from a positive exchange rate and reached 108M).

I think the next month should be pretty good overall.  Apart from Valerian nothing looks like a true bomb

Isn't that a bit low after a 69 5-day? Thinking 130-140.

 

 

Damn you are right! I forgot the 5-day my bad.

Interesting moment:

 

BAYWATCH Paramount 480

$225,000 +73.2% / $469 $56,132,889 / 30

$284,000 +26.2% / $592 $56,416,889 / 31

$191,000 -32.7% / $398 $56,607,889 / 32

 

 

I see 0.7 mln of the weekend. Where studio finds another 758 thousands?
