Am I missing something?

 

Will Emoji secretly outgross the average Pixar movie?

 

Apes and Dunkirk having a weak DOM run poses a much greater threat to mature-adult themed summer cinema.

 

Though I think it's unfair to single those movies out when almost everything except a few movies disappointed this summer.

It sends a message to studios that audiences will watch any animated movie no matter how bad it is. That studios will make money for not even trying.

That's VERY bad for cinema.

 

It's too late for that, Boss Baby made 175m.

Studios have been making terrible animated movies since the beginning of time. This isn't anything new.

They can't all be PIXAR type movies. Sometimes people just want to escape the real world. Nothing wrong with that.

Will American Made continue that trend, or is it not Doug Liman enough? Pete Hammond is hearing it's Cruise's best film in a long time, but it is Pete Hammond after all.

you made me curious so i googled. he says " I hear it is the best thing he’s done in years acting-wise. " that doesn't mean the movie is good...

There are plenty of success stories of good movies doing good things this summer. Fucking Baby Driver man. It's still my favorite movie of the year and it's run is spectacular. Wonder Woman a superhero origin that really does a great job of creating it's character while also being an exploration of war? Yep. 400M+ Dunkirk, not my favorite movie but a godly director with all the freedom in the world and people show up. 

 

The pessimism here is insane

 

wow, you know this thread took a turn when Ethan is one of the ones making the most sense  

 

kidding Ethan, but your good point still stands

Wait a second here. You are saying Dunkirk's run is weak? Numerous people here thought it would struggle to go much above $100m and it's going to pass that number this weekend. Tracking at one point pretty recent before release was $30-35m opening. The movie opened to $50m and probably end around $175m. That's a very good result considering the alternatives like Valerian's performance.

WTF AMERICA? Why did you have go see Emoji and give a shit movie so much money and the first place for this weekend?

We are all DOOMED!

Emoji movie is the Trump of movies 

[Zakiyyah6]

How is Dunkirk's box office weak? It's a war movie not a Superhero movie, it's doing just fine. And it's going to have a good under 50% drop. Apes box office is weak though.

Gotta agree there, people that go on about the good old days being better are forgetting all the other crap from the past.

Dunkirk's run is very very good. I was in the UNDER 100M club and i'm impressed with how good is doing.

So most people had this below Interstellar?

 

If that's the case I'll gladly retract my statement (regarding Dunkirk).

No. That comparison is ridiculous. The Emoji Movie may very well be a poorly made animation, but it is not trying to take anyone's rights away

[FantasticBeasts]

Jeez.

As though what is good and what is not isnt subjective.

I enjoyed Boss Baby more than tje pretentiousness that Frozen was. 

Just because a movie is better reviewed doesnt mean people like it thw most.

The Secrer Life of Pets outgrossed Moana by a big margin. What was the better received movie??

[hasanahmad]

Apes movie deserves better . I am suprised its not doing well outside nerds and media crowd esp after first 2 movies

Yes they did have it below Interstellar. A lot of very experienced posters here felt $140-150m would be a good result. And it seems very likely to go well above that kind of number at this point.
