DUNKIRK WEEKEND THREAD | ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS | Official estimates Dunkirk 50.5M, GT 30.3M, SMH 22M, Apes 20.4M, Val 17M | Wonder Woman is the new summer champ with 389M total | Summer Sale is Live!

[John Marston]

Great for Dunkirk. Poor drop for Spidey and horrendous for Apes

[WrathOfHan]

If GT follows Bad Moms:

 

13M

10.6M

8.8M

32.4M Weekend

[grey ghost]

Black audiences really supported movies with black cast this year.

 

Get Out, Hidden Figures, and now Girls Trip.

 

I wonder how Detriot will do in a couple weeks.

I wonder why it did so much better than Rough Night.

 

They both play on the Bad Moms' theme.

 

Better ratings and better concept...

Spoiler

the protagonists killing someone is hard to make funny...once that whole scene made trailers, it probably became a large turn off to the audience...accidental homicide is usually not funny, it's uncomfortable, especially for women...

Couple hours ago thinking Dunkirk 22, I think for now I'll keep it at that, GT 13, Val 6.5 , SMH 6, Apes 5.5

This just in: 4th film in reboot series to be titled "The End of the Planet of the Apes"

1. Girls trip is a better movie 

2. Girls trip looked appealing and fun unlike the hidden murder plot of Rough Night 

3. The black cast with big actors like Jada and Queen  makes this a mini  film event among black women.

Not bad but not good for Homecoming. Still with $20M this weekend and $22.4M in weekdays put HC at ~$250M. Thanks to summer weekdays, it'll finish $295M-$305M.

Rough Night instantly made it's characters look unsympathetic in the trailer by having them kill an innocent stripper and try to get away with it.

Wait until Black Panther.

Dunkirk opens bigger than Interstellar.

 

 

 

Never would have expected that one. If it can get some really good walkups this evening, maybe it can push for 23+. But 22 is awesome as well.

It wasn't just black audiences that supported these movies. As for Detroit, getting the feeling that's not gonna do much. No buzz, unproven distributor, and the movie seems destined to become the center of negative thinkpieces.

I'm honestly not sure Detroit will be a hit. It could go either way but I'm really not seeing any hype around that movie and I'm even seeing some push back. If the reviews are strong though maybe it could do well.

Is this for real?

 

So we can't call the new PoTA a classic trilogy any more?

A few months ago, I think we all expected a 2.5-hour journey through Exposition Beach.

I would say the bigger difference is that the 1st 2 movies broke out to way more than just black audiences...

 

Girls Trip is a 3rd which has a very good chance of breaking wide...and if it successfully does (and signs are pointing to this being likely), just like for the 1st 2 movies, the legs would be attractive and the box office gates open...

Forget that! Dunkirk is going to have a bigger OW than Apes!

 

War for the Planet of the Apes OD $22m  OW $56m

Dunkirk OD 22m

[WrathOfHan]

How Dunkirk's preview to OD ratio compares to recent films:

 

Mummy: 4.5x

Apes: 4.42x

POTC: 4.29x

Dunkirk: 4x

WW: 3.47x

SMH: 3.3x

GOTG: 3.3x

[grey ghost]

Get Out is still in the top 10.

 

Incredible.

 

So what would be the top 3 break outs of 2017 so far?

just from personal anecdote the Apes trailer didn't interest me at all. it just doesn't look that interesting. and i saw and enjoyed both Rise and Dawn 

It's one of the best movies of the year. See it. 

[scabab]

What happened with Planet of the Apes? People really liked the first two and this one is getting the best reviews of the lot and people really liked that too.

 

Why is it failing like this?
