Let's hope Dunkirk takes the #1 spot and threepeats. This is Nolan's year.

All signs point to The Dark Tower collapsing today and Dunkirk moving up. We'll see.

Walked out of Detroit about 10 minutes before the end. Wow. Starts out well, tail spins into racist torture porn (I knew this going in but it felt exploitative), then just drags and drags. Honestly, it was a total mess. The acting is fantastic across the board, but the script is criminally bad. I don't see any nominations for this. This is gonna land with a massive thud. It already did last weekend, but this will not play well with mass audiences. They could have easily cut 40 minutes from the film. Even with the outrageous running time there are grand canyon size plot holes.

I just found that SMH is quickly approching $300m, and is going to fly deep past $300m, well, given that how people get nervous after its terrible 2nd weekend drop, it's a "big" accomplishment! 

[Zakiyyah6]

SMH is going to end with a good 2.8 and perhaps 2.9 multi. And yes that's a good multi. There are no need for fantasies that every well reviewed comic book movie is going to have a 3.0-3.5 multi. Ridiculous expectations make perfectly good runs look bad.

The film is 2 hours and 15 minutes long until the credits hit.  That is outrageous?

Girls Trip still has a shot for 100M, right? I was hoping for smaller drops

 

This month is so empty. I wish Kingsman is on this month instead

And to be honest at no point did the pacing feel off to me. Even at the end.

So far this year, we have had Universal win 2 months, WB win 2 months, Disney win 2 months, and currently Sony has 2 months (I think WB will take August with Annabelle)

It took me a second to realize Sony having two months was counting August.

Girls Trip will be at about $86M or so tomorrow. It'll hit $100M real soon.

GOTG2 earned 45.3% of the boxoffice of May, SMH earned 39.1% of July.

Wonder Woman was just 28.6% of June, so WW actually faced stronger competition.

I'm not sure where my previous post went, but you guys are looking at the chart that only counts new releases for the month. You need to click on the calendar gross tab. Wonder Woman took 31.7% of June. Guardians took 41.2% of May. Spider-man took 23.2% of July.

I think Kidnap did OK considering the distribution problem it had plus it already leaked months ago. Kinda like 47 Meters Down

Go see it. You will know what I mean. It is easily 40 minutes too long.

I know which scenes you mean. But personally I felt those moments added to the movie. To each his own.

I wonder how Kidnap WOM is doing

Maybe it's better than Megan Leavey's WOM

My mom and her friends seen it tonight. She said it was intense but not that good a movie. In her words felt like it was made for the sole purpose of making a movie and the chase scenes got pretty repetive.
