Ha...bomb.  A strong word for sure.  Would 500M domestic be bomb?  Tell thoughts.  I'm sure it is not a bomb.  Valerian...bomb?  Ha!  Only in a fantasy world.

I just don't understand why some are treating it like a Civil War or Age of Ultron? It's not a sequel and it can easily stand alone, there's no reason the mutli shouldn't be in line with the rest of MCU's non-sequels, especially given the reviews. 

Who is saying that its legs will be like those two? Neither of those movies got a 2.7 multiplier. The problem is you guys are just hurt that we don't believe that this movie is guaranteed to get a 3.0-3.5 multiplier.

Apes is like Star trek Beyond of 2017 to me, both are 3rd movie in trilogy, have great reviews and represent non-CBM blockbuster in july of summer, and both tracking about the same OW or total....

That's a good comparison for OW, but hopefully War's WOM will be significantly stronger than Beyond's given how much better its reviews are than Beyond's. 

[John Marston]

problem with Apes is that it looks interchangeable from the last one. This likely hurt MI5 and Star Trek Beyond's opening weekends (though Mi5 had strong legs) and might be hurting Apes as well.

Well I'm not in that camp either. I think it could get up to a 3.1x. My own prediction atm is between  2.9-3x.

I'll say this much: I'm now reconsidering even thinking about INFINITY WAR opening any higher than what this did, regardless of how many superheroes will be in the movie..  Sorry folks,, but it's extremely RARE that a MARVEL movie doesn't have a higher Saturday than normal.. Look back at every MARVEL released and Saturday is always higher.. ALWAYS.. Saturday being as weak as what it was for this is questionable.. Either franchise fatigue like mentioned several times, OR, people simply had better things to do on Saturday than go to the movies??? 

Either we broke BKB or he's being sarcastic.

Not convinced of Infinity War's legs but it will open to at least $175M DOM. Why not? Spidey will have fine legs. Black Panther is piquing interest. Ragnarok will likely do well enough. Not to mention, the Guardians and everyone else in joining the collection of heroes and, at fucking last, having Thanos to contend with as an adversary. Now, again, it will FRONTLOADED. Not sure about the overall multiplier. Probably something in between Civil War and Ultron's multiplier. Gonna open fucking huge though.

 

More so than that, I honestly believe Marvel Studios does a better job of marketing their product to their fans/casuals than Sony does.

So, it's the biggest non-Disney release since Jurassic World, no? Just a little confused by the "minus Jurassic World." Why not just say "since Jurassic World." Am I missing something?

Ok, that actually just blew my mind. I've gotten so used to 400m+ DOM grossers in the last 3-4 years, I literally hadn't realized they were ALL Disney besides JW. Holy shit.

Lol Pirates is already a success while Transformers won't be. 

 

I was talking more domestic as both are underperforming from their predecessors.  But Pirates 5 definitely is doing better than TF5 especially since P4 came out 6 years ago where as TF4 came out 3 years ago.

It will  be interesting to see if Homecoming can somehow leg it out to surpass Spider-man 3's unadjusted DOM TOT.

Wonder Woman with (-313) theaters less , coming head-to-head with a direct competition, and yet you are telling me that it is still having a sub 40% weekend drop? What the hell is even happening...
