That was almost 10 year's ago. But BvS did a lot last year

 

 

Will probably end up being out of the top 10 annual domestic no ? and despite an has good/better reception and a great first weekend will do about 55% of what an upbeat Wonder Woman will do, it is an ambivalent example.

Yep. Logan did great for what it was but in North America it will be the lowest grossing Superhero movie. R rated Deadpool made 363mil and guess what? It's a fun blockbuster. I don't know if Wonder Woman can be considered "fun" but it does have a decent amount of humor and although it's serious it doesn't have a hopeless or near hopeless tone.

 

BvS opened huge because it was the very first Batman and Superman movie but a lot of people hated its tone along with other issues and it had a disastrous multiplier. Do you know what other more fun dceu movie had a better multiplier? Suicide Squad and it's reviews were worse than bvs. The point is you can make a serious movie but if it looks like a dour slog I think you're going to have trouble right now. It's my theory that we're going through a cycle where people don't want to see super dark movies to the tune of where they would want to see it in the past...again for the most. No matter their quality.

Silly kid. That isn't a superhero movie. It will decrease from the first movie.

It's a fun lighter spy esque CBM which will help a lot.

Ah you think Nolan's failure is your ally. I was born in it when Interstellar opened to 47m. Molded by it. I didn't see the 4x multiplier till I was a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING

I'm sad, though. The movie is excellent.

 

Sure but also remember the movie isn't actually flopping.

Let me nip this in the bud. Not the Marvel vs DC thread.

I am not expecting good things for Dunkirk next weekend.

[Zakiyyah6]

The Tomato Law thing isn't real. Rotten Tomatoes score was not going to get Apes 75million and you're talking to someone who over predicted it. So I'm not even pretending that my prediction was right. There are plenty of people who were dubious about the movies box office prospects but I was hoping that the seeming low interest meant nothing. Those preview numbers changed that for me.

Back to back weeks of DOUR SRS BIZNESS movies? Don't know if general audiences will be able to recover from this. Where's the fun!?

It's in the realm. CBM, no?

Its still going to do well. This dour thing you're pushing isn't real either.

big problem with Apes and Dunkirk. zero hotness in both. where are the chicks? didn't these guys go to film school? at least put in a volleyball tournament at the other end of the beach or something.

Yeah, in a thread of DC vs Marvel...they both win!:)

I expect Dunkirk to easily score $50M+ OW DOM next weekend.

[MikeQ]

Not amazing for Apes, but I could see it hitting the high end or above Deadline's early projections for Friday (hitting $20-22M), given I would think this would play less frontloaded than your typical big summer film with an older male audience mostly coming out in the evening. But maybe they are already accounting for this, so what do I know. *shrug* Maybe audiences are just kinda tired of the many 3rd+ entry sequels, regardless of the quality. I'm totally surmising either way off of super early projections from the sometimes unreliable Deadline, so maybe let's just see what happens... heh.

 

Assuming the $14 million Friday projection for Spidey is correct, I think it's looking at a $48-49 million weekend (58-59% drop), maybe closer to $50 million-ish (-57%) if it has a very strong weekend multiplier. 

 

Peace,

Mike

Not unless it scores some more screens at its theaters...when you only get single screens at 12s, my law is you're limited to $50M OW...right now, every opening movie next weekend gets a screen, but only one...this could change with presales and this weekend's results:)...

Do they even make kid friendly R rated movies any more?

 

My generation had Predator and T2.

Baby Driver doesn't have anything a seven year old couldn't see

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

I'm still thinking 40m-ish for Dunkirk, but if it's as good as we've heard, it should get some killer legs, especially since it will have IMAX for a long time.

Maybe CJohn is right. Maybe America is finished...
