That was an atrocious drop for Spidey. Thought it would drop better being such a crowd pleasing film.

The Big Sick grossed an estimated $7.6M this weekend. 24-Day total stands at $16.04M. #TheBigSick #BoxOffice

this weekend is a disappointment to me, I'd never expect SMH could be so fragile(despite quite good response from audience) to Apes and drop 60%.

 

A shocker to me even more, given that harsh drop from SMH, Apes figure wasn't great neither even with critically acclaimed review. 

 

Here is another thing, there are not any surprise or new-comers that come in above tracking, indicating that the whole market is shrinking!

 

Audience just need to have some attention lesson, they are always mindless, they can produced a huge $150m opener but not enough attention to accommodate two $50m grosser.

I was thinking this would hit 10m+ at least. Didn't it have a massive theater expansion this weekend?

I love that by the end of the year, the three biggest films of the year will be headlined by women: Emma Watson, Gal Gadot, and Daisy Ridley.

July 22-24, last year (Star Trek, Secret Life of Pets, Lights Out, Ice Age 5, Ghostbusters).

Is it possible that Apes beats Dunkirk next weekend?

 

Is it possible? Of course.

Will it? No.

 

But I anticipate Dunkirk to be Nolan's lowest opening since The Prestige but leg out like Batman Begins did. Anything $40M+ is a victory.

TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT has now grossed $392M internationally, with Brazil, Mexico, Japan and Spain still yet to open.

[YM!]

So using that $45.2M weekend I'll reiterate my analysis for Homecoming. However despite it's the worst drop for an MCU movie, it's not to far off from CATFA's 60.7% drop and July weekdays are saving it.

$208M is Homecoming's ten day total. I'm thinking Homecoming will fall at least 50% third weekend due to Dunkirk taking IMAX and Valerian potentially doing decent numbers. So about a $21M-$22M weekend, with about $23M in weekdays, puts it at $252M-$253M. Next week and the week after next it'll have back to back double features with Emoji and Dark Tower. Week 4 it'll be at $278M-$279M and the next one it'll be at $294M-$295M. It'll likely finish at $305M-$310M.

[Hatebox]

Apes and SMH's performances this weekend probably bode well for Dunkirk's lack of competition, but then it could open anywhere between 30-60m and it wouldn't surprise me.

Rangarok is not outgrossing Wonder Woman, and tbh I can see WW over JL too.

[filmlover]

Is there any real reason why "Big Dick" is always used in the title instead of "Big Sick?" Are we paying homage to Original Flash Thompson/Future Batman Villain Joe Manganiello's character from the Magic Mike movies? Maybe @Telemachos knows the answer.
