That AB hold is anything but good  

Puts in on track for 3x after a 55% 2nd weekend drop.

Just like SM will get 2.8x after a 62% 2nd weekend drop and Apes will get 2.7x after a 63% 2nd weekend drop.

Oh geez, that's bad. Not used to this at all from Disney.

Cars 3 is a definite theatrical money loser...and probably still a merchandise juggernaut...

 

But the nice thing is this box office disaster probably ends Pixar movies with the Cars franchise - most they'll probably get asked to do is to make some shorts or a tv special to sell some more toys...and that will wait a few years, while another division churns out lousy spin-offs again...

Maybe...it's August, not July...and bad movies are still coming out that need some sort of screens...so if you lose the box office race among the holdovers, you lose the screens...AB will now lose them sooner than Spidey after falling below him this weekend...

Movie legs with a 54 to 56% drop since 2013:

Guardians of the Galaxy	3.532373631
Elysium	3.121712691
World War Z	3.047042956
Sausage Party	2.851010231
Ghostbusters (2016)	2.789092708
Kong: Skull Island	2.753814211
Cars 3	2.750783685
Into The Storm	2.744207438
RoboCop (2014)	2.703096936
The Magnificent Seven (2016)	2.69232015
Pitch Perfect 2	2.662590446
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2	2.650946415
How to Be Single	2.620042854
The Visit	2.564387027
The Mummy (2017)	2.522615786
Need for Speed	2.442016529
Life (2017)	2.418347206
Run All Night	2.402916011
Underworld: Blood Wars	2.217439195
Atomic Blonde	1.866155595

 

 

Not that many achieved to do 3.0x, Guardian 1 was a phenomenon leg wise and Elysium/WWZ was in 2013, the average is 2.7, both John wick achieved to do 3.0x leg and they had much better second weekend drop with 44.5%/46.7% on the second weekend 

 

With that drop, anything over 2.7 would be good no ?

Not a merchandise juggernaut anymore. That's why the movie is made. Was not even in top 10 of 2015.

Why only 54-56%? Going above that you can add many movies like ant man, minions, tdkr....

I am shocked he still gets work nowadays.

[TwoMisfits]

So, since we're waiting forever for WB, like last weekend, any chance they again are gonna have a large drop from estimates?  I always think their good numbers are out instantly and their not-so-good seem to wait, and wait, and wait...it's gonna be 5pm again with no numbers yet 2 weeks in a row...they are usually late, but they tend to make 4:30pm...

To have a close idea on how movie dropping around 55% tend to do, I imagine I could have check for the 52-54 and 56-58 to have bigger pool and wider range of possible result.

They estimated WW at 25% and Dunkirk at 27%. Guessing both will be closer to 35% based on the other results so far.

(also I am Legend would've been really great if they had stuck with the original ending)

[a2k]

Does WB do this on purpose just to bother BOT? Is it because we have been bad on BVS, SS, JL threads?

Why? He won an Oscar for his screenplay for A Beautiful Mind. That bullet point on his resume will keep him employed for as long as he wants to work. Whether or not he deserved that Oscar is another debate entirely.

Man! Sunday holds are bad right now.

Not for Spidey.

WB pulls this late show every Monday I have been here. It is annoying that today they are almost two hours behind the other studios. 

 

Anyway, I saw The Dark Tower. It really wasn't THAT bad. It was short, so that helped the plot move along.
