You know pretty much every post that you have made since you come back here in the last couple weeks is about how crappy this place is. We were doing just fine before you got here and I'm sure that we will survive just fine when you leave as well.

 

For good reason too. In a thread about the weekend box office I had to skip through pages and pages of stupid nonsense including gifs, rants and silly face pictures to actually find actual box office figures.

 

If you're supposed to be a mod then why have you let this place go to shit?

The biggest issue I have about SM:HC numbers is summer 2017 with no Billion dollar film looking pretty certain at this point

I know it's sad. 2015 had 3 (Ultron, JW, and Minions) and 2016 had 2 (CW and Dory).

WONDR gonna be #3 dom.

SW8 700-800, BATB 500+, WONDR 400+

 

JL is not getting there imo and there's nothing else which is looking at 300+. Nevermind 400+.

(And I didn't forget Thor3 . Have that at 250.)

 

 

I have a feeling JL will be number 2, just my gut feeling ....

WW followers will sure be in drove to check JL out and if JL is Fresh - watchout.

Wait CW hit a billion? LMAO I didn't know that. Shoes how little attention I paid

So, for next weekend, are we looking at a Power Rangers drop (64-65%) for Apes?  Not exactly the same type of movie, but a lot of similarities...

1. Huge presale deals - PR tickets may have even become free, but I know they were definitely $2-$3 for any showing, just like Apes was...and just like Apes, most of the deals ended opening day, so you couldn't buy in advance for 2nd weekend

2. Very definite fan bases that may not have anywhere to grow - these same fan bases may desire to see it OW (Apes b/c it was the end and had the deals)

3. In the shadow of a very big opener from the week before (which ate into its audience, since B&TB ended up capturing a huge family element and Spidey obviously captures a male element)

4. Direct competitor opened against it the following week (a family movie against the very young skew for PR and a grown up male skewing movie against the same for Apes)

 

And drops tend to be worse, not better, in July...we'll see how the week goes, but as of right now, I'm not optimistic for Apes to have a sub-60 hold next weekend, no matter what its previous editions did...

 

I hate to be negative on an apparently really good movie, but baumer even posted he wants more thoughts from everyone, not less:)...

Its not Mojo. 

 

What exactly is it you want from a weekend thread? Here are the numbers close the thread? If you want numbers go to Box Office Mojo.

What's even more impressive is that DCEU and MCU together will have #3-7 on the top 10. Hell all of them might make the top 10:

Jedi: $1.8B

Beast: $1.26B

F8te: $1.23B

JL: $1.05B

DM3: $925M

SMH: $875M

GV2: $860M

WW: $780M

Pirates: $750M

Thor: $725M

Out of likes...I think superheroes are doing exactly what they always was intended to do both in comics and in reality.

The genre is strong and it's saving the boxoffice as of now ,Hell without thier numbers each year will be extremely low.

 

 

Those who hates CBM really needs to respect them as they are keeping Movie going alive.

BOT is a fine place. Every forum including BOM forum had some crazy posters. 

 

For the most part, BOT seems like a natural heir/extension of BOM forum and that is a very good thing.

It'll do at least $100M+ there, no?

Can't blame that all on North America.

War underperforming is pretty disappointing since it's just as good as Dawn

Uh, we put the most recent #'s in the title and any past #'s can easily be found by clicking on RTH's profile or EC's profile, or going to BOM/BO.com/DHD.  What the fuck are we supposed to do in the weekend thread when there's no numbers coming in?  Talk about how good the numbers are over and over until it becomes endlessly repetitive?

[Zakiyyah6]

I mean it always sucks when a great movie under performs but it's not like it's not finishing out it's story. This was the last movie in the trilogy, people got three good movies.  It's a happy time.

I've also ran out of likes but this. However 2018 will be the true test since we'll have 10 Superhero movies (9 CBMs).

Man these boards went severely downhill from the old Box Office Mojo days didn't they? 

 

Mostly just a bunch of fools posting gifs rather than anything of value.

 

You should go through the last 30 pages before you post this ..... you gotta have numbers/figures yes. But you gotta have fun while doing it.

It's a 21st century modernized love letter...NYC is a heckuva lot more diverse now than in the 1960s...nothing wrong with actually showing a NYC school as it is, since they set this is the "now" timeframe...same reason I didn't mind the " bad language" that some parents are freaking out about...b/c it's a NYC high school!  It's not Bible camp!:)

Oh, and for those wondering about its extra awesomeness...Liz was the 1st love from the comics...she leaves early (and has the last name Allan - bet that's her name after the coming divorce:), but it's not MJ who 1st catches Spidey's eye...

 

Betty Brant was the first love interest in the comics. Liz Allen started having a crush on Peter around Issue 17. Peter was annoyed with her and tried to avoid her at all costs. Spidey's 2nd love interest was Gwen, and that lasted for 8 years.

People giving early box office estimates before they are available on Mojo. People discussing those numbers as they come in. You know kinda like what people did for years on Mojo?

 

Not someone going on an Irrelevant rant about racism and posting silly gifs of women fighting and crying as if the place was Reddit.
