You'd think so, but they released that BS Bad Grandpa or whatever it was called and Americans lapped it up.

So, it's really surprising to me that the crowd that made Jackass and that a hit didn't turn up. Maybe they don't have any more money in Trumpmerica. 

 

Well, it would have helped if they actually let anyone know what it was or that it even was coming out.  They did little to no advertising for it and dumped it with no Thursday previews.  

 

I honestly don't know why they didn't sell this to Netflix along with Annihilation and Cloverfield Paradox.  It would have been a perfect Netflix movie and it isn't like this was a movie that the new regime gave the green light on as it was shooting way back in December of 2016 if I remember correctly.  They for sure were shooting in February as they showed footage at CinemaCon in March of 2017.

20 weekend gives 252

252 + 2.4*20 = 300

2.4x the 3rd weekend seems very likely imo. a bit short and it will get a push. against o8 it will hold well. it already took the premium screen hit against solo. i2 will attract all quadrants but as an r-rated movie it could do better than expected against a huge animated opener. weekdays are also getting stronger. all game for 300+!

[MovieMan89]

Solo may make it to top 100 biggest second weekend drops ever. Well, at least it will be top 100 something.

How is the science fiction movie of the year, Upgrade, doing?

When's the first of the new regime's slate coming out and what is their focus?

Any updates?

Actually, if we're in the habit of sharing videos about opinions of TLJ, here's a good one

Nothing but death, despair, and destruction. So much so that Asgard spared mentioning IW amidst such heathen filth in his update.

A Quiet Place and Book Club are both part of the new regime that started in March 2017.  Book Club started filming last August and A Quiet Place shot mainly last fall.  

 

Bumblebee is basically part of the old regime even though it didn't start filming until July of 2017 and same thing with Top Gun: Maverick.  Wonder Park is old regime.  

 

Overlord is mostly part of the new regime along with What Men Want and a Tyler Perry produced movie.  Rocket Man, Instant Family, Gemini Man, Limited Partners, Pet Semetary, etc...

 

I don't know who to blame the new Terminator on.

That’s a very frontloaded day for Adrift from previews. 

 

Ok for Upgrade considering it’s count. 

 

Excellent for Book Club, dropped only 22% from last Friday.

 

The clearout before Jurassic World arrives!

Thanks for the numbers. 

 

Action Point didn’t even hit 800K. 

[a2k]

RPO is looking to end at 580 ww with 

136 Dom + 222 OS-CH + 222 CH

= 136*0.55 + 222*0.33 + 222*0.25

= 74.8 + 73.3 + 55.5

= 203.6 approx theatrical revenue.

 

The movie had good reception and non-theatrical revenue should be strong.

Quote

In regards to profit, our film finance sources are telling us that a global take of $440M ($120M domestic, $120M China, $200M overseas) would take Ready Player One to a near break-even before counting participations, residuals, and interest (in which case, it’s then short of break-even). Again, these types of projections never come from Warner Bros. [deadline]

Hope we get a sequel.

AIW's 6th weekend is going to be similar to AOU's 5th weekend. AOU did 2.8M on it's 5th Friday and as @TalismanRing said earlier, the target is 11.4M this weekend. 680M+ is on DOM. China is also showing great late legs and 375M is possible there, 2B is a cakewalk now.

[MovieMan89]

Pretty good for IW, can maybe pull off 11 with that Friday. That's about as good as post memorial day drops get. 

 

DP2 will likely be ahead of Solo next weekend. 

[grim22]

Solo 2nd weekend looking like 26M to 27.5M depending on the next 2 days. So about a 68-70% drop from MD weekend. Going to guess that IMAX goes to Oceans 8 next weekend. 

[a2k]

DP2 goes up from 6 to 6.5. 21-22 back on the menu boys.

6.5 + 8.8 (+35%) + 6.4 (-27%) = 21.7

 

Solo optimistically,

7.8 + 11.9 (+52%) + 8.8 (-26%) = 28.5 (-66%)

And I'm going to guess no more crazy 65% revenue shares on Star Wars for Disney going forward. Hell, the theater chains should demand they get 65% for IX at this point. 

[Krissykins]

Oceans 8 should comfortably open at #1 next weekend, with ease.
