HAN SOLO MEMORIAL (day weekend) THREAD | Solo Flops Domestically with 83M/101M weekend. Spectacularly Bombs Overseas with 65M weekend.

CinemaScore is usually a measure of whether a movie lived up to expectations or delivered on what was promised. Their biggest stories are when a film gets an A+ grade (or you get an F like mother! did, though that movie was never going to get anything but an F from an unsuspecting opening night audience).

Easy paycheck after back-to-back flops (The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and King Arthur).

He not asking why Ritchie did the picture, but why Disney hired him to do it, particularly after Kind Arthur showed his inability to do fantasy successfully. And he has never done a musical.

I just wish Ritchie would go back to doing crime thrillers, which he is really good at.

Oh, so it’s medium crumbling. The most boring timeline.      

 

Meh number for DP2.    

 

Insanely good for IW though  

Thats a terrible number for DP2 

 

Give it another weekend or two and IW will be higher than it 

[MattW]

Well the 4 day should still be over 100

I think

[Ryan Reynolds]

not good for Solo. 225-250m domestic potentially

[Zakiyyah6]

Is it shocking that Deadpool is front loaded? It's not exactly a family film. I still haven't seen it yet because I'm lazy but I'm hearing good but doesn't reinvent the wheel or anything.

Solo just needs to beat Grinch. Entertain me with it becoming Howard's highest domestic gross. It's still in range!

go for now with Solo 36.5, DP2 12, AIW 4

Dammit, so much for the great IW hold. This entire weekend is a huge bust.

When JL happened, I never thought that a SW movie will be a bigger flop than it.

SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY (2018)

 

 

About what I expected. Would have been bad had it been like B but it's just like RPO.

[John Marston]

Bad for Solo and Deadpool

[Rman823]

The fact that A:IW OW> Solo Domestic Total is likely at this point is mind boggling. 

[filmlover]

Deadpool 2's extreme frontloading shows that a portion of the audience that saw the first definitely had their fill of its brand of humor and weren't interested in returning.

[JB33]

$12M for DP2?? WTF???

[Maxmoser3]

The last memorable Memorial Day weekend was 5 years ago.

 

I remember reaidng that Fast & Furious 6 was going to open on-par with its predecessor. 

 

Hangover 3 was expected to do north of $50-$60’million ow and do anywhere from $150-$170 million to even $190-$200 million on other sources. 

 

Well.. we know how that weekend turned out

Let's go bold.

 

Under Pirates of the Caribbean 5 3-day

 

This will be closer than I expected

[Zakiyyah6]

So much for that 170mil 4 day that it was tracking to do 3 weeks ago...

 

I kinda HATE the breathlessly reported tracking articles. It's started to feel like nothing more than PR to me.

It's looking to drop 65-70% which goes beyond just being front loaded.

I have to wonder if people just didn't dig Deadpool 2 as much as the reviews'd suggest.
