I hope SMH does good, btw. Tom Holland enrolled in classes at one of my best friend's old high school in the Bronx. Was in classes with her little brother and everything. Nice guy, apparently. I'm rooting for it based on this dumb personal reason alone.

I loved it.

Spider-Man Homecoming: 110M

Despicable Me 3: 32.5M

At this point Wonder Woman is behind Spider Man 1 by only $7 million. I hope it has a nice hold even with tough competition coming in the next few days.

Imagine WW beating SM1 while competing SMH aka SM6

Guardians fell about 53% which was its only 50+ fall apart from its second weekend. WW definitely affected it otherwise it wouldnt have fallen that high.

 

What affected it more was the fact that its previous weekend was inflated due to a holliday. But the same will be the case next weekend with WW coming off a holiday weekend.

I need Pete Docter to remain making his stuff

 

I don't think it would affect Doctor's ability to make films much.  Heck, Lasseter himself has Toy Story 4 coming up. Would make sense to have him be the new guy in charge if that rumor is true since he seems to be the only in the brain trust there full time now with Stanton pursuing other interests.

 

Anyway, lol @ DM3's estimate. Lower than I even dared hope. Imagine the kind of "hater" ridicule I would've gotten with that prediction.

One thing about the Beguiled (very minor, irrelevant spoiler): There's absolutely no indication until halfway through the movie that Colin Farrell's character is supposed to be Irish. Until that point, I thought it was just a W.O.A.T American accent attempt.

Thanks for responding but I was talking about TF5's huge drop (over 80%) in China. 

 

LOL, I don't know why I read POTC. Must have been drunk.

 

In other news, Ansel is a bone fide star now. They are going to put him in everything. he'll be the new Domhnall Gleeson.

On the subject of presales, it's been interesting noting how silent Fandango has been in regards to reporting comparison data. The only thing I've seen was the announcement of Baby Driver outpacing John Wick.

 

I wonder if it's emblematic of the weakness of films this summer, or if Fandango has been losing traffic as of late. One would think, even with a much smaller opening, DM3 would be outpacing the second in presales considering the 4 year gap.

Regal moved off Fandango and to Atom (non exclusive) this summer. Everything bought on Regal goes through Atom now. Might have something to do with the lack of comps as well.

I think an important thing to consider is that presales are way bigger now than they ever were. So while it's nice to get presales data and stuff....it becomes almost useless to use presales data from say 2+ years ago and try to figure out a film that's opening now will do using that data.

Wonder how Baby Driver will hold next week. It should be getting drive-in screens with Spider-Man, right?

I think drive ins may opt to go with something else because of the R rating

Thinking $95M-$110M like tracking. However I'm thinking it'll have excellent legs after seeing it, my audience are this up. This will be the Pets/IO of Summer 2017.

Wait which movie is this?

[titanic2187]

June's figure stood at $1.054b domestically,lowest since 2014, hope July will pick up here.....as much more promising film join the marketplace...

It should still get a good hold because it did skew old (61% 25+), which could be a good counterprogram to it. Also, you have a good point but Horrible Bosses (carried an R-rating) shared a drive-in screen with the final Harry Potter five years ago.

yeah, but Sony's most recent not R-rated film is Smurfs

Drive-ins can attach any movie they want. They can do Superhero double features with WW or Guardians with SMH which seems pretty likely. Or even DM3 and SMH.

[Krissykins]

Annabelle Creation could be poised for a break out considering there hasn't been a big horror since Get Out in February. 

 

Alien Covenant played more sci-fi. It Comes At Night ended up a drama and Wish Upon doesn't look like it'll get any attention. 

 

I think Annabelle 2 could open over $30m again.

That Transformers drop would be hilarious. Poor Paramount.
