Posted by baumer,

Look ladies and gentlemen, this has gone on long enough.  It started with the DCEU and we didn't put the lid on that quick enough,  It made the forums unbearable for a time.  So we had to make the spoiling the well rule.     Same thing goes here.  It's not a SW bias as some have suggested.  It's that about a dozen posters have all complained about the same things.  We can't have a shit storm/blitzkrieg against one film.  There are threads for that.  We have said in the past, if you wan

Are Overboard, Breaking In, and Life of the Party officially considered hits? Their holds for the past two weekends have been quite solid. It's clear that word of mouth has been stronger that many (me included) expected...

Overboard and Breaking In are almost certainly considered hits given their budgets, grosses and expectations. I don't think too many people expected them to perform well and both of them seemed to have exceeded expectations. They are not blockbusters by any means, though.

 

If Life of the Party can reach $50M, which seems like it will, I suppose it could be considered a minor hit, albeit a disappointing one. With its star power comes higher expectations and $50M is still low for a Melissa McCarthy movie. It's not a flop by any means.

A movie like those would probably need 80mil+ to be considered a hit even with their presumably low budgets.

Overboard was actually pretty fun. It wasn't great or amazing, don't get me wrong, but not a bad way to spend a couple hours.

They are considered moderate successes although Life of the Party is a bit of an under-performer for a Melissa Mcarthy comedy.
