how can we say apes had average legs when we have only 4 days of run. 

 

Versus knowing everything abput a movie's quality after 10 days.

 

You guys have all kinds of rules.

unbearable drop for Apes, it needs lucks to at least match star trek beyond, never imaging Tomato Law could flop so hard......

SMH although not great too, but could overtake Apes soon enough.....CBM movies to Apes:

[John Marston]

looks like Apes is doing similar to Star Trek Beyond last year. What is with audiences rejecting totally good installments in these sci fi franchises?

Beyond was just too late. 3 years after Into Darkness (which had a mixed response) and it just looked like the 50th Star Trek movie. Also, it had one of the worst first trailers in movie history.

 

I havent seen Apes, but from what ive heard, it isnt a fun blockbuster but a serious drama - and that can translate to a muted response among the GA, which usually flocks to fun and funny blockbusters.

War of the Planet of Apes is an average movie guys.

 

Weak legs = average movie

 

Hundreds of movie loving critics don't matter.

Not about quality but reception. 62% drop definitely ain't good.

[baumer]

I personally don't see how Apes is going to have good legs either.  That's one depressing final film.

Ah, attention spans.

[redfirebird2008]

Monday drop seems pretty similar to Apes 2 when you account for the fact Discount Tuesday is a lot stronger now than it was in 2014.

Star Trek's momentum as a franchise was destroyed when Paramount waited 4 years to release a sequel. You have to strike while the iron is hot now or days and they didn't.

The 4 year gap between ST09 and STID is probably what everyone will point to as the momentum buster. Instead of letting JJ do Super 8, Paramount should have gone for the Trek sequel and then had him to Super 8 or anything he wanted. Even Nolan took just 3 years between Batman Begins and TDK. The momentum was well and truly lost at that point and by the time Beyond came out, Trek had been supplanted by Star Wars.

Frontloaded could mean an initial rush.

 

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban had a...wait for it...

 

...62% drop.

 

Must be because the movie sucked or maybe just maybe there are OTHER FACTORS that play into frontloadedness.

 

C'mon guys use box office nerd reasoning instead letting all the brain blood flow towards your hate boner for Spider-man Homecoming.

There's no Wow! factor It doesn't help that the first Act doesn't have much dialogue.

Excuses galore for War of the Planet of Apes.

 

Yet not one mention of poor reception or lack of quality.

 

Are you guys admitting you cherry pick and choose the cause for bad legs based on your personal bias?

No, but it isn't all bad either. Spider-Man Homecoming even with that drop has already surpassed the domestic gross of the Amazing Spider-Man 2 and will pass the domestic gross of the Amazing Spider-Man as well. Since the first Spider-Man movie in 2002, the domestic gross of each subsequent movie has gone down. Homecoming stopped that streak. Marvel Studios has just started turning things around but it won't happen all at once. It's just the start, not the finish line.

[YM!]

That's also a bad drop for Apes too. I'm not sugarcoating it either. Spider-Man and Apes have had bad drops.

If you say there's no "WOW!" factor, that's only because you didn't watch the amazing visuals in the first act.  Even then, it gets really intense after the first act.  Very emotional too.  Not my fault you didn't stay awake and as such aren't able to judge the film properly.
