Monday's Numbers 23.9...eeeerrrr...24.1 according to Forbes

[wildphantom]

I just don’t see the implosion of superhero movies whatsoever. 

They’ve a guaranteed audience like good animated family films do.  It’s proven year in year out. As long as the quality is there people will keep coming. 

Kids love superheroes. Always have and always will. That’s not going anywhere.

I’m still really surprised this fell this much from the first. 

 

Hope it doesnt happen to Wonder Woman 2. 

 

It's going to finish with about 315-320.  That's a 16% drop.  I think that's pretty good hold for a film that obviously got a large amount of casual fans out to see it.  If WW were to fall 10%, it would still do 350 million.  That's where I think it will land.

Superheroe films do not have variety. Every Marvel film looks the same to me.

Thor Ragnarok looks the same as Winter Soldier to you? Ok.

Westerns didn't really die post-2010. We got two Tarantino films, The Revenant, Magnificent Seven, Hostiles, and way more indies (Bone Tomahawk, The Salvation, Slow West, etc.) than there ever were pre-2007.

something very wrong with this post.

Looks to finish with 275M first week.

 

Tue: 28M (+17%)

Wed: 21M (-25%)

Thu: 20M (-5%)

 

Weekend can go anywhere from 80M to 90M.

 

Low end:

 

Fri: 25M (+25%)

Sat: 31M (+25%)

Sun: 24M (-20%)

 

High end:

 

Fri: 27M (+35%)

Sat: 35M (+30%)

Sun: 28M (-20%)

 

Note: If Wed/Thu manage to stay above 20M, then TI2 will be only 2nd film ever (after TFA) to have 10 straight days above 20M.

Your high end is a 50% drop, I guess if everything goes right it could do closer to 100M (maybe (4%) even hit 100M)

 

10 days above 20M.

OMG; TFA has 17 straight day above 20M

Right now Spider-Man 2 is the only film with 6 days (WTFSSM Monday was 5th of July)

JW, TDK, IW etc. have five

 

 

And can I2 get the third biggest (non Opening Tuesday) right now:

#1: TFA: $37.36M (1st Week) would need a 54.8% increase to top it (not happening)

#2: TFA: $29.53M (2nd Week) would need a 22.4% increase to top this

#3: TLJ: $27.73M (2nd Week) would need a 14.9% increase to top it

What’s surprising about it falling from the first? The first made $363M domestic. Which is a huge number for any movie let alone an R-rated CBM. The sequel is looking at around $315M.  It is going to retain around 93% of its gross WW, which is a fantastic retention rate for a sequel. 

 

The only thing that shocked me was that it opened less than the first. Otherwise it grossing less than the first isn’t surprising

People can argue and nitpick about the details all day but ultimately audiences just gravitate to superhero films, both domestically and overseas, no matter what the reason. No amount of handwringing about the artistic integrity of westerns will bring them back into the mainstream.

 

Maybe Westworld will spark a second coming but I have my doubts.

They are all pretty much identical. Marvel has a formula that a lot of people enjoy. They don't take risks that's why they're so successful.

Deadpool 2 did $1.1M this Monday so that’s a 61% drop (similar to 62% drop last week) and a Monday to Monday drop of about 35%.

The response was to someone who said they LOOK the same. Which begs the question do you have eyes.

 

All big budget movies have a formula. Unless you're BR2049 which flopped. Hell, even indie movies have their own formulas..

Well before I thought it was grossing $100M less than the original domestically and $183M less than the original WW  But now that it’s run it’s coming to a close, the numbers are becoming more clear as to where it’s headed and the numbers are pretty good all things considered  

[MovieMan89]

So I2 right up there then with JW, IW, and TDK for biggest non-Holiday Monday. Good number. Would have preferred about 1m or so higher for 100m+ prospects to be safer this weekend, but still has a shot to do 100-105 on the high end.

Yep nothing to add really in this, kind of weird, thread. People will continue living in their delusions dreaming about superhero fatigue when the genre is just beginning , as evident by its complete domination of the emerging markets which are bound to substantially grow in the upcoming years.

 

Superhero films have been a thing since the first Superman film its just that the technology wasn’t there. Now that it is, the genre will continue to dominate and the comparisons with western and disaster  film is ridiculous and laughable.

Okay? Well they do look the same. The same looking blokes behaving in the same way fighting some dull CGI mess.
