Looking at detroit PTA this w/e, I think it can go lower. Or am I looking it wrong? When does TDT embargo lift?

I could see Detroit landing anywhere between $8-10M, not a bad start for a movie that's a really punishing sit.

 

The Dark Tower's screenings are apparently Wednesday night. Probably all we need to know regarding its quality.

If Dark Tower is opening in the mid teens, could Dunkirk take #1 again? That's when you know studios fucked up with scheduling

You wonder why Apes or some other films didn't have an August release. Alien had a pretty lousy release date with a ton of competition back in May.

Why isn't there a showdown between Interstellar and Dunkirk at BOM?

 

Seems like the obvious battle to focus on.

2.6 legs is boring?

 

Only because expectations were incredibly high.

 

When 320 m is the floor for an interesting Spider-man run, you're spoiled beyond reason.

Especially when the summer has been so great for superhero films. Spider-Man Homecoming hasn't done spectacular business, but its done its job of bringing the character back to reasonable relevance again. 

[grey ghost]

Any final word on Detriots budget?

 

50 m seems high.

SOME GOOD OS NUMBERS FOR DUNKIRK,

TDT is apparently not having screenings until Wednesday.

So we all know WW and Baby Driver broke out.

 

Anything else qualify this summer?

Being dead serious here after Emoji's 6% Tomatometer. Why not refuse to let critics see the movie early? Force them and their companies to pay for a ticket just like the rest of us.

 

If you know the critics are going to destroy a particular movie, might as well have a blank Tomatometer on opening day. That's better than 6% or 20% or 30%, etc.

So I'm at the theaters with my little cousins to see Emoji and including us, only 10 seats were sold and it starts in 20 minutes.

Despicable Me 3 should end up as the highest grossing film worldwide of the summer. Chances that its overall gross will beat Cars 3 and Coco combined?

I have a club for that  (closed now)

Girls Trip too. Now even a single release in august do $100m that will be good.

With a hold like this, it's probably locked tbh.

 

Dark Tower: 18M

Detroit: 10M

Kidnap: 3M

 

That would suck.

 

I invested heavily in those movies for the fantasy box office game.

$8M FOR DUNKIRK ON FRIDAY, TOTAL:$82.7M

250+ should happen. Beyond that it's hard to say. China release date is September 1st, but going to be crushed by Spidey on 8th and Apes on 15th.

Can Dunkirk show a 50% bump on Sat. That would take it to 29-30.

8 + 12 + 9.5 = 29.5

Oh right. Forgot about Girl's Trip.

 

I expected a typical 20/50 run for that one.

Looking around 27-28 million, solid hold.

What's the buzz on Dark Tower ? Hit or miss?

Unfortunately, it's looking more like a miss. It's presales on Pulse have been pretty weak, about on par with the 2 openers this week. I doubt it opens above 25M, honestly.
