My dad showed me the old horror movies like The Wolfman, Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein and some others when I was like 4.  I saw movies like the Terminator and T2, Braveheart and some others when I was like 7 or 8.  Kids are tougher than people think.

 

A movie like Spidey should have a 6+ rating.

Also the ratings system is weak.  I can name like 10 R-movies that should be PG-13 off the top of my head (Air Force One, Beguiled, Lost in Translation, Royal Tenenbaums, Boyhood, Matrix, Almost Famous, King's Speech, Breakfast Club, Chef, etc.).

The apes number is a little disappointing but not surprising, be fact, apes franchise has had high awareness but never had actually a hard core fans like what happened to SW, CBM movies, HP or Twilight, it posted a challenge to marketing as not much people wanted to talk about the movie, not even much people try to bash them, thus making less buzz although it has been well-received, but hard to sustain the hype. 

 

The movie itself, the tone was serious and dark, I doubt it is the kind of services that audience would want to receive on large screen, especially under Trump-era.

It's harder and harder to please the audience to appreciate the serious/dark style kind of movie, although they may critically acclaim. Audience may like it and find it awesome, but they just don't want to have that in theater. 

 

The box office's top list is fulled with those, light/ humour packed movie, again, audience may find them uninspiring/ chessy or even stupid, but that is what they want to be served.

I have not seen more than snippets...and I have let my kids see those snippets...I wished someone had made a PG-13 version for it (like they used to do for tv movies), b/c I'd love to show the whole thing beginning to end to my kids b/c some of the snippets are hilarious...

 

So, I know more about the movie than I've seen (since I've read all about the ending and the desire to see how far they could push raters)...but then I don't need to see the ending...it was a movie that probably could have made a bundle if they could have dialed it back...every day, I wish Pixar or Illuminations would steal the concept and recreate their family friendly version...

 

And it was an R rated movie...so it was "kid" excluded from the get go...

 

 

Sausage Party had a very vulgar ending.

So probably around $65m opening for Apes. Not bad. Maybe overseas gross will help offset the decline in North America. 

 

That would be surprising, a bit like Guardian of the galaxy 2 Rises was released just before the exchange rate drop of late august.

 

July 2014 vs july 2017 exchange rate for Planets of the Apes main market

 

Currency to USD (with the % drop)

  2014 2017  
AUD 0.929627 0.763767 0.178416
BRL 0.442693 0.307229 0.306
CNY 0.161838 0.147011 0.091617
COP 0.000533 0.000325 0.389981
EUR 1.338688 1.147052 0.143152
GBP 1.688619 1.285347 0.238817
JPY 0.009727 0.008781 0.097299

It dropped in average of 21% since. War need to do about 25% better just to do has much has Rises oversea.

Would it surprise anyone to see Spider-Man do 46-47 this weekend?

I'm sticking with my near 49mil  number but of course I easily think that it could do around those numbers. Honestly I kind of expect it to do around those numbers.

In Spidey news, the movie had such an effect on my boys we are now watching the 2002 ground-breaker (or rewatching for me)...and the older one is watching raptly:)...not quite as psyched as he was for the Tom Halland version, but he hasn't left his seat and we're 90 minutes in - youngest is here, but not checked in like he was Wednesday:)...

another 2 reasonable comparisons

Both are July release and non-CBM
