yeah, i miscalculated by 100m in my earlier post probably cause i couldn't fathom it would struggle to cross 600.

 

it's on 375m os after an 18m weekend.

say it adds 35m more from current markets.

that takes it to 375+35 = 410m.

 

135 dom gives 410+135=545 from all current markets.

 

so needs 55m from all the new markets you listed to get to 600. even if it does that, 625 looks like the ceiling.

 

And the road ahead won't be kind.

Great start for Spider-Man: Homecoming even if it proved to be quite frontloaded.

 

Despicable Me 3 held on fine. It's definitely finishing as the lowest grosser in the series but it'll still make a major profit in the end.

 

Baby Driver continues to mirror This is the End's run, will be interesting to see how close it gets to $100M in the end.

 

Wonder Woman held on remarkably well despite Spider-Man's arrival. Transformers continues to have no zero power though.

 

Excellent expansion again for The Big Sick. After seeing the movie, it'll definitely continue to catch on with audiences in expansion.

 

A Ghost Story's start is OK but it'll likely be a sub-$5M grosser either way.

Do you guys think WB's est. for WW's Sun. looks to be on the optimistic side?

[kayumanggi]

Wait, so Spidey beat DM III overseas?

Some can make us all look bad. As a fan of both Marvel and DC I get ashamed at some of the back and forth that goes on here. 

 

AMEN!  I mean, why choose?  Both make great comics, both make great supers movies, and both drive each other to bigger and better heights.  Without a direct competitor, the "guy at the top" can go stagnant...we are blessed there are 2 behomeths in the comics and comics movie making industry...and we're also blessed that there are some smaller competitors who can take bigger risks and make more edgy material.  It's such a healthy way to get really great product:)...

To show how bad that hold is for TF, ROTF only dropped 42.8% at the same point and it also had a Wednesday opening 

[a2k]

1.2 weekend taking POTC5 to 168.825.

Will touch 170 by next weekend and should reach 172 after the dollar bump.

That's a multi of 2.73x.

Better than 2.68x of POTC4 despite Mem Day Sunday inflating the ow a bit.

Shows how people stayed away due to POTC4 and then probably better reception got some folks back in the theaters.

[drdungbeetle]

Bumblebee is probably gonna get counterprogrammed by Norm of the North 2 at this point.

[MovieMan89]

I am truly excited to see what's in store for WW's late leg holds now. If its held this well in its early/mid game run, holds could truly get crazy from here on out. Either that, or it will inexplicably start acting "normal."

Nah, there was no hype for this movie and what audience did come in came in a bit slowly. I've seen zero hype for this movie from non Pirates people. Doesn't mean it's actually adjusting up. Its US run mainly looks good by comparison to Transformers 5 at this point.

[MovieMan89]

Is TF even going to be profitable WW? Talk about a franchise going down in flames. 

[Blaze Heatnix]

Damn, Tranformers is breaking hard...Even with China's numbers included, it still hasn't made 500 million worldwide yet.

 I am still shocked that it held so well against hurricane Spidey. It is truly insane to me (but I am super happy)!

Probably not unless it REALLY explodes in Japan. It collapsed in China in Week 2 and I'm sure advertising/Bay backend/Hasbro backend ate up a huge amount of money.

Remember that most of Age of Extinction's big run wasn't "overseas", it was China. In many countries it was even falling by Extinction, it look Last Knight to kill the Chinese audience.

[MovieMan89]

Has the Bumblebee film actually started filming? If it's not too far along I wouldn't even be surprised to see it scrapped altogether now.
