I'd laugh my ass off if this somehow becomes the highest grossing animated film domestically this year.

My showing of Apes is FULL of seniors

[a2k]

Tomato Law (94%) was supposed to stem a decline from Dawn's 72.6 ow. I am not a believer any more 

[Fancyarcher]

Seems solid for Dawn, though 200m may not be in reach which is a shame.

[YM!]

So... Tomato Law only works for superhero movies, non declining franchises, and some originals.

Even the Great Tomato may not be able to buoy a film that's so oppressively dour. That said, this flick's gonna have nice, solid run stateside and do very well overseas too.

Star Trek Beyond did 5.5/59.25. That will give War 54. Would be underwhelmed if it goes below Rise's ow.

If this movie failed, that will be a PLANET OF THE ABS

In the anecdotal bad news sign, only a few of my kids said they "would" see Emoji, and of those few, when I asked if they wanted this or DM3, it was DM3 all the way...this is before we know if it's any good or not...

Honestly, the tone may be a problem...not b/c it ruins the movie, but b/c so many people are sad about the current domestic state and don't want to be dragged even further down by their movies...

 

As always, timing can sometimes be everything...

I know this is greedy, but 400 just isn't good enough anymore for me for WW. Its run has been so spectacular I want it to get an extra 9m so badly, so it can hit the top 5 CBM's of all time. Deserves to be there after this performance.

Quality and my personal opinion aside, if they're kids, don't take them to War. They'll get pretty restless.

Not Apes...that thread was talking Emoji...I'd never take my kids to apes:)...

 

EDIT: Heck, I haven't taken myself to Apes...it's on my long list of "things I'll eventually watch when kids give me time"...

Shite, I'm going to miss a trailer or two at Big Sick because Apes is running behind schedule. Why do theaters play the whole ad reel if they know they're running behind?

I mean, does it really matter? Gotta figure something will pass and do so in short order... Whether it's the next Batman, or Justice League or, maybe, Infinity War. I mean, unless CBM start to really fall off, it won't last long there. And, it's ain't gonna make the top four of Avengers, Dark Knight, Ultron and Dark Knight Rises. Wondy Too might have a legit shot of getting there and staying there. Then again, given the insane multi here, gotta wonder if there's much room for growth or if it will be more like Hunger Games and jump about $15M to $30M to Wondy One.

@Telemachos may take Tele Jr (a near 6 year old) to Apes and Valerian.

Yeah, but wouldn't that be insanely impressive to have the only CBM's ahead of it be Dark Knight and Avengers films? But yeah, wouldn't be top 5 for long. Still would be pretty cool.

More likely to be Coco and DM3 than Emoji

I'm amazed it seems to have gotten a PG-13 for as dour and depressing as many say it is...this is why there's the "parent check" effect for these movies in later weekends...Spidey and WW vs Apes all being the same rating is wild to me...
