Weekend Actuals (Page 92): Ant-Man and the Wasp 75.8M (#CRUMBLING EVEN MORE) | Jurassic World 28.6M | Incredibles 2 28.4M | The First Purge 17.4M

[Krissykins]

I’m fine with $30m 5 day for the Purge.

 

Great for Jurassic World.

 

Aren’t they giving Ant Man a bit of a shitty multiplier??

 

Edit: it’s not shitty, but aren’t Deadline being a bit harsh?

I thought 90-100mil earlier but afterward it just didn't make sense to me for a sequel to make 100mil off of only an 11mil Thursday number. Spider-Man plummeted on Saturday with it's Thursday's included so I wouldn't be surprised to see Ant-Man and The Wasp pull a similar trick. Anyway, I'm projecting 86mil for now. Which is a good number. The First Purge cost nothing to make so it will be just fine. It's a solid opening. Incredibles drop is great and Jurassic World's not terrible. Sicario is no Baby Driver.

Wonder Woman did 103 off a 11m preview so I don't know why you would say that.

Dam, that I2 hold. Some of you had me believe it performs like a CBM rather an animation and because of that, Ant Man would cut its leg.

If that number for I2 is true then $600M is very much alive, Disney will have 4 $600M+ movies in less than a year

Perhaps not, as the same Saturday increase (from True Friday) and Sunday decrease as the original Ant-Man brings it to 82M for the weekend (very nearly the same as Deadline's projected 81.5M). This is all assuming 34M for the Friday gross is accurate.

 

THU: 11.5M

FRI: 22.5M

SAT: 27M (+20%)

SUN: 21M (-22%)

-----------------

WKD TOTAL: 82M

 

It's Saturday increase or Sunday decrease could end up being better, for a mid-80s opening or so. Either way, all good news for Ant-Man and the Wasp, as it has increased substantially from the original.

 

Peace,

Mike

That ugly drop for DP2 

 

I guess it can't keep having sub 40% weekends forever

That writer on deadline throwing solo and JL under the bus to sugar coat Wasp. Last i heard none of them cost 300 million plus either he must put marketing into account here. Just so unprofessional of him 

Both solo and esp. JL had huge budgets and very troubled productions. No he doesn’t put marketing to come up with the 300 million budgets , have you been living under a rock or something ? 

 

Anyway extremely disappointing result for AATW even if it does better than what deadline is projecting.

Didn’t Deadline had an article that JL only lost the studio 60 million?

100 m OW was always a long shot.

 

Sequels very rarely increase by that much.

 

But 80 m OW for a C list superhero will never be "extremely disappointing".

 

C'mon, ppl.

I think no one here except Thrylos thinks Ant-Man 2's OW is disappointing.

 

Its a 40%+ increase from the first film on OW. And no matter how popular the MCU is right now, its still a damn ANT-MAN movie; before they finally make that Squirrel Girl movie, CBM characters dont get much more weird and niche as that.

No one could have imagined what a year this 2018 would be for Disney. Except for IW, no body expected BP or I2 to reach the numbers they are doing. 

 

But next year can even improve 2018's numbers, with 3 potential 600-700M+ (IW2, TLK, E9), other 3 potential 400M+ (TS4, Frozen2, Aladdin) and a couple of wild cards that can make 300M (CM, Dumbo). 2019 can take the dom year record with ease (with some 3.6B).

JW2 already fell to 3rd 🤣

[wildphantom]

I’ve said it before but I still cannot see Disney releasing Dumbo, Aladdin and Lion King within 4 months - with Toy Story in there as well. 

I’m fully expecting Aladdin to be moved.

They really should move something. I think all of those movies can break out huge, but not with them coming out so soon after another. IMO I still think DP2 could have done better if it didn't open so close to IW. 

[a2k]

Great number for I2. It could beat Dory by a 100. That's a stunning way to beat the previous animation record.

 

Good for JW2 that it's dropping closer to 50% than expected while loosing it's premium screens.

8.9

11.5 (+29%)

8.7 (-24%)

= 29.1 (-52.2%) gives 333.9 cume, just 66.1 (2.27x the weekend) away from 400. JW1 added 2.79x the 3rd weekend to it's cume (152/54.5).

And why should that be laugh-worthy? Ant-Man obviously opened to Number 1 and took away most premium format screens from JW2, hence why it dropped enough for Incredibles to overtake it.

 

I know you liked the movie but you seem to wish it would fail. Thats so weird to me.

Incredibles 2 hold is affecting Antman . Disney has to spread out more,but they are too arrogant to do so. It will get messy one of these days..

[a2k]

Any idea what I2's os is looking to end at?

[dxmatrixdt]

I guess it was only logical Ant-Man would open close to 80 instead of 90 or 100.  Solo opened to 84, and like in 2002 when Attack of the Clones opened with 80m, the next year X-Men 2 out-opened it with ~85m.  I just assume current Star Wars brand has a tentpole limit and Ant-Man 2 approach that.
