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. 

 

I think it will have a multiplier between 3 and 4.  It all depends on if it can hold against Inconvenient Truth 2 and its further expansions.

Asgardian, Saturday estimates would be very much appreciated...

I have been waiting my entire life for Saturday estimates

Wow, you are one day old and already using the internet. I thought box office forums had an age limit to join.

That's pushing it, haha. Valerian on pace for very similar gross to Arthur. 

Both are among the biggest bombs of the year so far, basically.

When being super rich, a successful fashion model and a big time actor gets boring so you give being a pop star a try.

Nepotism can get so lame and boring, so very fast.

Glad to see that this trashbag of a weekend thread has taken a sidestep to just being a snooze, now that people have stopped talking about disturbing subject matters

The saddest thing about Battleship is that I genuinely believe it has potential as a film (...I mean, if they successfully turned OUIJA of all things into a good horror movie w/Origin Of Evil, they can do a decent war movie out of Battleship, right?!?), but my God did they botch it, it was cringey to such a painful degree... thank the lucky stars that Peter Berg moved on to the Wahlberg real event trilogy after that (even if only one of those three was a financial hit).

I agree Battleship could have actually made for a funner film, instead of the Transformers knockoff we got.

2nd biggest weekend, SW7s 149m, in a single market just went down.  Wolf warriors 2 in china going to do $163m.

Next weekends hold will determine if SW7 total will get beat and if $1b is in play.  It bumped 20% from OW. Needs to hold -35% next weekend to have a shot.

Do these chinese blockbusters make any kind of sumbstantial gross in other asian markets? Maybe if it ends up around SW7's 900m+, other asian markets can carry it to the billion.

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 

100 is locked.

Would be very surprised if Girls Trip went below Bad Mom's 113m dom.

[the beast]

Is there any way Girls Trip gets to 150+?

[MCKillswitch123]

@the beast Not impossible, but very unlikely. 140M+ is the high end that I see right now.

 

Anyway, for the hell of curing boredom, here's the top 10 Summer 2017 vs. 2016 breakdown (as of August 5th):

 

01. Wonder Woman - 397.8M
02. Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 - 388.1M
03. Spider-Man: Homecoming - 288.7M
04. Despicable Me 3 - 237.1M
05. Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales - 171.2M
06. Cars 3  - 147.2M
07. Transformers: The Last Knight - 129.2M
08. War For The Planet Of The Apes - 126M
09. Dunkirk - 121M
10. Baby Driver - 95.3M
TOTAL - 2.101.6B

 

vs.

 

01. Finding Dory - 472.4M
02. Captain America: Civil War - 407M
03. The Secret Life Of Pets - 311.4M
04. X-Men: Apocalypse - 155.4M
05. Central Intelligence - 125.8M
06. The Legend Of Tarzan - 123.5M
07. Star Trek Beyond - 120.3M
08. Ghostbusters - 113.3M
09. The Angry Birds Movie - 107.2M
10. The Conjuring 2 - 102.2M
TOTAL - 2.038.5B

 

Evidently, Star Trek Beyond has yet to make any difference whatsoever as 2017's lead increases more and more. HOWEVER, w/Suicide Squad's opening weekend falling right here, the gap will probably shorten a bit. Still won't be enough to put 2017 out of the lead, though, and w/Girls Trip approaching the top 10 and pushing for massive numbers in the mid-range, as well as Dunkirk's rise to the 180-190 area, it's entirely possible that 2017 won't be kicked out of the lead at all, which seemed extremely unlikely a month ago imo.

Any Numbers from RTH?

Our God has forsaken us. Which usually means hes recovering from an ecstacy filled orgy of epic proportions.

Gods only descend upon Earth when petty humans release something worthwhile in theaters.

A lame Stephen King adaptation and a once great director adrift thinking she s a New-York Times Senior Editor weren't good enough.

Rth is angry that the mods didn't put his name up in the headline after his update yesterday so why bother
