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]

Skyscraper could be #1 next weekend then if it breaks out of its 30m range tracking.

It’s fine not everything can blow past expectations...

Since this could open under Dr Strange, despite being a sequel, Dr Strange has earned his own sequel. 

 

I enjoyed Dr Strange.

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).

I still think they are lowballing JW2 its saturday increase usually is very strong. The definition of a walk up movie.

I hate Dr Strange. Its the worst MCU movie after Thor 2 and IM2 and IM3.

I say enjoyed, I’ve never watched it again since the cinema

 

The only marvel films I’ve seen more than once are Avengers, Ultron and Guardians 1.

This is funny, a week ago everyone was happy with Ant opening at $80m. Then some go crazy projecting $100m, and then that bubble bursts, so now $80m is a big disappointment?

 

$80m is no way no how a disappointment, especially with I2 and FK blockbusters still doing good business. Sheesh!

Dont exaggerate. Theres like only one person who thinks its disappointing.

 

I was one of the posters who thought 100M was possible for this. But 81M+ is still absolutely great for an Ant-Man movie, especially after the deluge of huge blockbusters weve gotten in the last weeks.

What about Hotel Transylvania? Tracking looking bad?

There are no big openers last week though!

That would be an impressive fourth weekend for I2, would be fifth biggest ever (above IW's fourth Weekend!), below just Avatar ($50.3M), TFA ($42.4M), BP ($40.8M) and Avengers (36.7M this was Memorial Day Weekend thought!).

 

I looked at the best third weekends and Gravity seriously was impressive, it opened with 55M (a little more than a third of JW2) yet they will have a similar third Weekend.

HT3 will easily be #1 next weekend. 

[dxmatrixdt]

it would be interesting if HT3 made 50m OW and Incredibles 2 had its best drop yet.

[Bishop54]

Wow, FK only dropping 50% against direct competition...those legs sure are stubby aren't they?

The big question is: how will it do WW-wise? Cause these movies have been underestimated before....and i wouldn’t be surprised if OS-wise it could explode in it’s own way.

 

Peter Rabbit this year made $350M WW, coming from the $234M OS...and nobody thought that film would be a bigger hit than the Paddington-films.

 

It just needs good enough reception to increase.

If it goes up like Ice Age, maybe it could reach 800m OS, but I think it will perform more along the lines of Madagascar at best.

Boring weekend.....Summer is done ,Bring on Oct-December

True. Though, Madagascar 3 made $530M OS & nearly $747M WW with the best reception from that franchise.

 

If it acts like Ice Age 3 then sky’s the limit. Animated comedy threequels, are unpredictable with their OS grosses. I mean, DM3 last year, did a whoppin $770M OS. While HT3 probably can’t do those numbers, i think it’ll do very good for an animated film from Sony.

maybe. though in 2012 (same calender) sats were relatively muted this weekend i guess due to mid-week ID holidays attracting families. sat bumps seem to have gotten stronger since then, and after 37%+ sat bump in 2nd weekend would have expected 45%+ this weekend but think it will end up closer to 30%. if it can do closer to 35% then 30+ 3rd weekend becomes likely.
