WEEKEND THREAD | ANNABELLE 2 - $35m; DUNKIRK - $11.4m; NUT JOB 2 - $8.9m; BABY DRIVER Crosses $100m!!!

[ZattMurdock]

If that is correct, Spider-Man: Homecoming went less than 0.1 under the estimates:

 

Estimates: $6,100,000

Actuals (according with The-Numbers): 6,022,637

 

Total for Homecoming right now is $306,276,331. It's a -32% drop andif I'm not mistaken, the best hold among the top 10 films, same hold as The Big Sick and slightly better than Dunkirk's. 

[Brainbug]

Why is THE NUT JOB - NUTTY BY NATURE flopping? It makes no sense. It has a great premise, great titel, is wholly original and appeals to all demographics.

 

Spoiler

WHAT WENT WRONG???????

Warner taking forever again 

I need to get into the Wan hype train. Can you guys indicate me a list of films for me to go besides F&F?

[TwoMisfits]

Well, if WB misses 4:30pm, we know the numbers are a miss...if they make it earlier, we know they are close:)...

I am the wrong person to ask, of his films, I've only seen Saw and Furious 7.

I remember the TV spots for Winter Soldier being the Cap Shield flying onto the screen and showing the title It had no scenes from the actual movie but hey, it had the title tattoed onto something

 

At this point I believe someone from inside is sabotaging them. I mean... I remember seeing a 5 seconds TV spot where the only thing happening was McQueen on the beach and a female character saying "Está a comer-me" while burying herself deeper in the sand...

 

Oh my fucking Lord  Wow, Cars 3 must've been rated 18, apparently. Huh... Disney really needs to... change their engine 

 

Man.... that poor voice actress. Does raise the question - does a female car leak when she's excited?

Lol I didn't even knew he did Saw. The first Saw is the only one I've watched and while it was cool for what it was, it's not my cup of tea.

The Conjuring films by Wan are some of the best horror this decade, so start there for sure. The first Insidious is good too.

Nut Job 2's lowest PTA for 4,000 record won't be broken for a LONG time.

Looks like Dunkirk could drop 500.000 from estimates

Saw, Insidious, Insidious: Chapter 2, The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2. The Conjuring movies are some of my favorite horror movies of all time.

 

He has produced Lights Out and Annabelle Creation, both of which also pretty good.

You are failing your own people. Instead of supporting successful asian visionary directors like Wan you support asian journeymans like Lin.

I liked this until you dissed Lin. Fuck outta here with that bullshit.

The WW Sunday estimate seemed more realistic than the Dunkirk Sunday estimate.

YOU CAN GO TO HELL.

 

Lin makes movies in genres I actually like. Lin created a multi billion dollar franchise for Universal through the power of FAMILY. THAT'S REAL VISION

My guess is that the line is taken out of context but like that it just sounds extremely ridiculous.

 

Maybe you need to watch Cars 3 to answer that question.

Alright, give me a list:

 

The Conjuring

The Conjuring 2

Insidious

 

What's next?

 

Make a Scott Derrickson list of horror films while you are at it, besides Strange I just saw Emily Rose. 

 

[MCKillswitch123]

@CJohn I will watch Cars 3.......... sometime.

 

Didn't he also direct Death Sentence w/Kevin Bacon?

 

(Not to be confused w/Dead Silence, the movie about the ventriloquist puppet who kills screamers, that was directed by the guy who did Saw II and III iirc)

 

Also, how dare you diss Justin Lin? He's no Wan, but he single handedly saved F&F

weekend gross of $8,012,311 with a PTA of $2,001.58 with previews removed.  I guess future predicts for films like this over 4000 theaters would be O/U 8M (previews removed)

Lin didn't create SHIT. The franchise was already there. He did two awful movies before getting it right, and I am gonna guess the whole FAMILY nonsense stuff came up from Vin Diesel

I slightly edited my post but you guys are too fast quoting. I stand by it, tho. Dude is a fine director that can get the job done but there are a million more like him. Wan did a better F&F with one attempt than Lin with four (and Lin also did the worst F&F movie, which also happens to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen).
