Deadpool sequel is bound to be one of those films that goes down from the first one, right?

There's no way it can catch the zeitgeist again, especially not in the middle of summer.

 

Probably same story for Wonder Woman sequel.

I dunno. Guardians managed to increase, so its not impossible.

Hopefully Ninjago's success will rub off on Kingsman so we have two decent OWs

Unless Kingsman gets bad reviews, I'm hopeful both films open to 40m at this point.

Yeah the remake they tried (well, prequel really) really holds nothing at all to the original. And again, the use of cgi was REALLY bad in that one, I mean there were times where I just laughed. And the script just had too many holes in it where the main character would all of a sudden know everything about the creature after studying it for 5 minutes.

 

 

Please god nobody do an Alien reboot. As it is this Prometheus ark is trying to kill it.

Apparently they actually originally had practical effects for The Thing prequel, but it was changed in post to CGI after a studio executive or somebody claimed that the effects were silly. Really unfortunate. The movie wasn't very good either, which was also a shame. They shouldn't have done a prequel at all, though.

ANY film can be a success as long as it's marketed right, a good movie, and in a good release slot.

is Annabelle + IT double feature really on-going? that 35% drop is marvellous！！  

[MCKillswitch123]

Words cannot begin to describe how insane that It broke the September OW record in its 1st day of release. Madness.

 

And YASS at Annabelle actually holding to the talked about 1.2M. Phenomenal increase from Thursday. If it plays like I projected it throughout the weekend, 100M DOM is a given. What a fucking great weekend for WB/NL horror movies, and what a year for WB in general 

 

Also very impressive increases for Leap (despite the rocky Fri to Fri drop) and Spider-Man (how is this thing still going so strong in early September???).

 

Home Again doing about best case scenario tbh.

That's a shame. I agree, it both ways looked silly then don't make it.

[lobogotti]

WB had... Wonder Woman in June, Dunkirk in July, Annabelle in August and It in September.  what a streak.

i think so. it's fri bump of 292% is best after leap's 296% but that is an animation. conj2 could go down.

This isn't true. 

 

"Good" is subjective.

Yes, do your typical "This was never going to be successful" post after something about the film comes out that might indicate its box office potential. 

I've been following box office longer than you've been alive, bro. Don't think I don't know my shit.

[CJohn]

Incredible for Annabelle, on track for 100M, shutting up the haters talking about bad legs on his first Tuesday lmao. WOM was very good and it shows.

Honestly I would have preferred practical effects, at least it would have been real (the guy who made the practical effects, posted them a few years back), but honestly doing a Thing prequel where the monster is seen way more often was always going to be tricky. Just an ill-fated concept from the get-go.

 If BR49 really surprises, and it could for all we know they have made a very good film, then WB's streak continues through Oct and November, as JL is a certain money maker.

I'm always in favor of practical effects vs cgi ones. I mean you look back at the original The Thing, and even today the practical effects (well maybe except the very last image of it when he was that big weird dinosaur/dog thing) used in the film stand up to me at least. The spider legged thing still creeps me the fuck out.
