Great for Dunkirk and Girls Trip.

Apes is dead. Bury it.

SMH should do above 20M over the weekend with ease.

Valerian

 

 

SMH needs to jump as good as Minions tomorrow to pass 20m. Friday increase was worse

03. Split/Baby Driver

 

imo.

Wow! That's amazing for Dunkirk. This should settle the debate whether Nolan is a draw or not; he definitely is. Really good for Girls Trip, but not that surprising since the market is starving for comedies and it's targeting an underserved audience. Yikes at Valerian and most holdovers.

 

Really digging the new forum design btw. Good Job @Water Bottle, @Emperor Tele-Limai and all the other admins/mods.

Girls Trip is better than Valerian.

 

Can't wait to see Dunkirk tomorrow.

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

Considering how people seem to be having trouble following along with the timelines, I can see why Nolan went heavy with exposition in the past. People are stupid.

Haha. Have you seen it yet?

 

I'm seeing it tonight for second time overall, but first time in 1.43 Laser IMAX on the biggest screen in Texas. Last night was 1.9 LieMAX on a screen about 20 feet shorter.

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?

Who says that a lot of people really liked it?

I kinda figured last Sunday after seeing it that it would have a tough time with the GA. Reeves really does a great job with those "quiet character moments" but the second act seemed pretty slow. That's a problem for general audiences. 

[Blaze Heatnix]

Both Apes and Spidey aren't having good performances...

[MovieMan89]

That's insane for Dunkirk. I feel like Nolan is officially the biggest director box office draw there's ever been outside of Spielberg. 

[Fancyarcher]

The Nolan Rises.

If I recall, RTH was a higher than estimated on Interstellar for OD before things ended up worse, hopefully no repeat.

 

With 22 million, I would think 55-56m is the target.

Spidey's doing fine, it just had a really frontloaded opening. Apes is definitely underperforming though, yeah.

Based on the AUS/NZ numbers, I'm feeling 50M+ OW for Dunkirk. I think they might be over-performing in both of those countries since they are closer (culturally) to the UK, but they're still a good sign for the USA OW.

Don't forget it doesn't have other films opening against it here. I'm thinking USD45-50m. 

 

Australia has been defeated. You may now crown ME as the true box office prediction king.

I don't even think Spielberg would get this kind of project greenlit. Cannot believe WB greenlit a Memento-esque structure with no DiCaprio type of star and almost no exposition on $150m budget. And then agreed to market the thing like a franchise tentpole. It doesn't seem the studio meddled one bit on this project, which is crazy given the risk.

Your signature makes you the king of everything BOT related anyway.

[MovieMan89]

65% drop coming for Apes it looks like with that Friday. Really horrible, has to be one of the worst performances for a movie that should in theory have had so much going for it in a long time. Maybe some amazing late legs will happen, but even still it's just not good.
