Yeah, it sucks, Blade Runner definitely deserved more than what it got

 

It was a bomb, but they can at least say 'well, at least most everybody liked it.'

The new film will always pay for the sins of the last film, box-office wise. Why, oh why, do so many not remember that?

Um.....War for the Planet of the Apes was the lowest grosser of the new ”Apes”-trilogy....but that film did not pay for it’s sins and yet that film underperformed far below expectations in the summer despite great quality. 

 

No need to act like the smartest one and that SOME people here doesn’t understand box office patterns when they do.

 

Thank god, ”Thor: Ragnarok” didn’t pay for the sins of ”The Dark World”, though. Since MCU knows how to deliver critically pleasing blockbusters.

I want to see sub-100, just so we can see the spin that comes from WB. It's rare, but sometimes a studio will admit failure in these situations. Wonder if we might see something along those lines Sunday morning if the number is bad enough. 

The spins from studio execs are my favorite. They always manage to bring out the most obscure and ridiculous comparisons.

 

Exciting.

  saw Justice League on my lunch break today and it was pretty darn awesome. One thing is for sure much better legs than BvS.  

 

The last hour is epic. First hour is good.

 

Top 5 comic book film for me since 08.

 

8.5/10

[Blankments]

Wonder to me this year has always been a fascinating box office question. It's a book with the popularity of the Fault in Our Stars... but it's primary demographic is kids, who don't rush out to see things on opening weekend. What will this mean for its run? How will the holds pay-off? Clearly it hasn't hurt opening weekend much, unless school field trips are inflating these Friday numbers. Very curious to see where it goes.

Hope there is no Suicide Squad 2, I think our forums can enjoy peace after Justice League

I've been agreeing with you way too much recently so either I end up loving Justice League or this finally breaks the streak

And I wouldn't bury his film just yet. With the legs still might do decen5 number worldwide

[Biggestgeekever]

I'm curious what the Friday number they're using to get $95M is. If it's something like $38M then I could see the weekend being closer to $90M.

[Webslinger]

Yeah, Warner Bros's peaks and valleys in 2017 have been especially dramatic. It's hard to believe that the same marketing department that got It and Wonder Woman to such lofty heights also flubbed Blade Runner 2049 (despite excellent reviews) and may miss a benchmark no one thought Justice League could possibly miss. (And that's to say nothing of their King Arthur reboot, but let's be honest: they knew they had a bomb on their hands and had the good sense to not even bother with trying to salvage it.)

WftPotA was a special case: it seemd like a copy of Dawn to the GA and its grimdark tone and story didnt exactly warrant repeat viewings (and i love the movie btw).

 

Thor 2 certainly was forgotten when Ragnarok came out. The predecessor for Iron Man 3 wasnt Iron Man 2 aswell, it was The Avengers. MCU movies have the advantage of overall goodwill from the GA thanks to quality control.

I'm positive it's going to get either an A or A+ CinemaScore grade so WOM will go a long way. Personally I'm expecting a miniscule drop next weekend.

[Firepower]

First OS numbers for JL are not encouraging either.

[redfirebird2008]

What if Mendelson at Forbes ends up being right and this is just as frontloaded as BvS opening weekend? It ends up at $78m. 

[Blankments]

Can Justice League miss Logan's DOM total? I don't think that will happen but I can't rule it out with a 95M OW.

I wouldn't be surprised with an increase. Only thing that's keeping that back for me is the school field trip inflation

Eh, it's always frustrating when they don't bother to give a Friday number. I would assume it probably means mid- to high-30s?

yep how its looking 36-38
