Not exactly a no-name. Star Wars came out after American Graffiti 

 

Well, he wasn't a no name but he was no bigger than Lord and Miller or any other number of one or two hit directors.  And SW budget was pretty small at first.  It escalated and the production almost got shut down.  They were furious with Lucas at one point.

People bitch about not getting original blockbusters

 

People bitch when they actually dish out cash to adapt a little known property.

 

 

I don't understand

Hear, hear! Goofy to bitch when something original comes along with a big budget. It's not our money invested in it.

Upmpire "You're outta here!"

 

And of course...the classic:  THERE'S NO CRYING....THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!

Well, I guess we'll see.  I just don't see the logic in using DWP as a basis.

dwp not really a basis. was the only fri opener that weekend you pointed out that's why used it. else haven't been using it.

my basis is cars3 which dropped 7%. add to that softer sat due to CD and made it 10% drop.

edit: pets dropped 4% and was not a sequel.

It's all about target audiences.

 

Spider-Man - 13-25

WFTPOTA - 25-50

Dunkirk - 30+

Valerian - 13-25

Atomic Blonde - 18-35

Emoji - under 13

 

Emoji has no competition, Valerian will have plenty of room between SM:H by the time it opens, Dunkirk will have a wider age gap than WFTPOTA, and Atomic Blonde will probably not have that much overlap with Dunkirk's audience.  They can all coexist.

I will watch all of them......except emoji.....make them happy

[baumer]

Never mind....that's an old article....

[Ethan Hunt]

God damn that geezer Cameron. His blue people movie won't make a cent

[narniadis]

Yuck needed DM3 to stay at or over 30m. However those are some nice numbers for most films not named Cars or Transformers. 

[cannastop]

Has anyone said that's great for Baby Driver? Because that's great for Baby Driver.

Different genres too.

 

SMH - family superhero

Apes - dark, apocalyptic sci fi epic

Dunkirk - Nolan's historical drama

Valerian - colorful, trippy space opera

Atomic Blonde - adult, action spy thriller

Emoji - goofy kids animation

 

Something for everyone just like March.

 

Also it's mostly high quality stuff.

At least for you it's close to $30m.

C'mon, Baby Driver, keep going!

[That One Girl]

I might be seeing DM3 in 4DX later today.

Imagine if Star Wars came out today:

 

"Fucking that much money on a no name director and an original sci-fi flick?  BOMB INCOMING!"

 

$11 million? Man you young "enfants terrible" bitch about micro-budget films now.

Wasn't $11M like really expensive for a movie back then though?  Correct me if I'm wrong.

Cars  3 was doomed the minute they scheduled it just two weeks before Gru and the Minions

Thinking Apes and Dunkirk will underperform. The hyped superhero movies I think will be the only movies that get people to the theaters 

[grey ghost]

So Baby Driver will almost hit 30 m for the 5-day.

 

TOMATO LAW FOREVER!!!

That's what I was thinking too. Rabbit will do $105M-$140M unless by some miracle it gets extraordinary reviews but even then opening the week before Black Panther might be a bad idea. However this puts Incredibles 2 in a good position since Peter Rabbit is the only animated family film that could do $100M+ before it opens and the family market would be extremely barren.

 

$140m might be a stretch, $75-100m seems more realistic

Paddington seems like a good comp for Peter Rabbit.

 

Hybrids haven't really made a dent recently . its opening on the same day as Fifty Shades and Maze Runner as well
