Can we make it at least one weekend without turning things into a franchise pissing contest?

A phenomenon outperforms expectations by capturing the zeitgeist. They also do not necessarily require massive numbers to qualify. Wonder Woman is a better example of a phenomenon than Age of Ultron despite grossing less at the box office.

True. And there are plenty of examples of films that have grossed even less than Wonder Woman and also became cultural phenomenons that transcended and soared past films with much bigger grosses: Thelma and Louise, Silence of the Lambs, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery,  Napoleon Dynamite, Friday the 13th (yes, F13), etc. Meanwhile, stuff like Jumanji are massive financial blockbusters that seem...inconsequential and after-thoughtish...

Jurassic World was a cultural event. Fact.

Stop arguing about Marvel.

 

Let’s talk about how Annihilation is the second coming of Christ.

Just wanna talk about how much Hop's run in 2011 money absolutely fucking dominates Peter Rabbit's run. Just totally pisses all over it. Hop was an ORIGINAL STORY people and a CULTURAL FUCKING PHENOMENON. 

Hop sucks donkey balls.

Also this is anecdotal evidence of course but I was in a near sold out audience for Annihilation (granted, it was a 91-seat theater), and I didn’t hear one negative comment coming out.  A few people (including me) clapped at the end too.  So many great reactions during the final act.

How did it impact anything?

 

People went to see dinosaurs bite things.

 

That's as profound as JW gets.

Going to make an effort to see Annihilation next Tuesday.

My favorite Annihilation post was "Black Panther is gonna annihilate Natalie Portman".

Even with the huge weekdays, I couldn't believe that BOM predicted $120 million for Black Panther this weekend.

 

That being said, even a weekend "only" in the high-80s would still be fantastic.
