Mid-30s, which could increase depending on how strong reviews are. Just because there's no competition doesn't mean it has to break out IMO.

 

I think it goes into the 40's possibly 50.  It's been getting lots of traction in the last few weeks.  And this is everything that Ghostbusters should have been imo.

[filmlover]

Predictions for next weekend:

 

Ocean's 8: $48M (coming for that surprise breakout that nobody notices cause they're too busy fretting over Solo)

Hereditary: $9M (I honestly have no idea how well this will do other than that the CinemaScore will likely be low and it'll die fast afterwards)

Hotel Artemis: $4M (dumps away)

Ocean's 8 is an old school star turn movie. We don't have many these days.  But the trailers didn't convince me. The marketing campaign has been weak imo

[Ethan Hunt]

Oceans 8 will probably be my second movie of the summer (with Tully being the first obviously) unless I see Solo or Avengers in the next few days 

[That One Girl]

This forum is so young male-dominated that it's way too unsurprising to see a lot of 90M or so predictions for Action Point yet people still underestimating the breakouts of Ocean's 8, or failing to see Book Club doing much more than 20M total

You're probably the only person left on this entire forum who hasn't seen Infinity War. Get with the times, Ethan.

Oceans Eleven debuted to 38M unadjusted in 2001. It should do at least that number i think.

oh shit forgot hereditary comes out next weekend too. I'll have to see both of those

Not solo stealing 300K from IW. Its probably gonna take over 1-2 million from this weekend alone. Enough with the fudging Disney!

It is. In fact, it's great. I'm sure you have nothing else to do rn over the summer. SEE IT

Even Darth Maul being sliced in half never felt pain like this—SOLO dropped dead on Friday with just $8M. Second weekend falloff is going to be an outright disaster.

Been saying this for years.  It's one of the reasons Twilight is so looked down upon.  

[Nova]

Just got out of Book Club and I can't believe I am saying this but its in my top 5 favorite movies of the year. I really really enjoyed the hell out of that movie. It has great performances all around and after seeing it I am not the least bit shocked at the type of legs it's having.

Not necessarily.  The Mummy failed to match its predecessor and that was released in 1999

That’s because there’s no hype lol.  

[Nova]

Also my quick take a look at numbers for this weekend: 

Seems to me that the reason why the post MDW always has harsh drops for holdovers is because there is typically a big opener. That's not the case this year, which is probably why we are seeing really good holds for the majority of films.

Oh year right. sorry Han. I just remembered Book Club. If I see something during the week it'll be Book Club. It looks super cute
