A movie isn't a flop based on lofty fanboy expectations.

 

Was Ant-man 1 a flop?

 

Cause it has a similar budget and made only 520 m WW.

 

I guess since Ant-man 2 will fall short of 700 m its a "flop"?

 

Wtf? lmao.

"Crum-building", LOL, you guys are too much.  But one thing I love about this site is our brutal honesty with numbers, lol. Wow @ Hotel 3, Kids are not playing around this summer, they want their animation.  I guess the "Summer Vacation" theme might of worked after all.   Meanwhile at Vin's Residence:

Good for Hotel, totally expected for Ant-Man (though retaining 2nd place is a decent headline, I guess; legs are gonna start kicking in around next week very much like Homecoming), better than originally for Skyscraper but still not great by any means.

 

Incredibles riding along nicely, JW also doing well and is likely crossing 400M at this point, Purge holding surprisingly well and has a shot at the 70M range of the last two films, solid increase for Sorry To Bother You, Sicario 2 will edge enough for 50-55M, Uncle Drew..... doing what it's doing, Ocean's 8 pretty much a lock to beat RPO for biggest WB film of the year so far.

 

Fun weekend, all in all.

It my not be a financial flop but it's a flop in my heart

[grey ghost]

Damn, Purge is doing pretty good.

 

Has a good shot at making the top 15 in the summer game.

63% drop for Ant Man lmaoooooooo. MCU bombing.

 

JW2 can't have a good hold even on a silly weekend like this. 380M finish? 

 

What a Summer.

That' s good for Sorry to bother you. I wonder if the reaction from the general audience is as bad as people were making it seem

It most likely wasn’t based on Twitter reactions I have seen and what a few of my friends who got the chance to see it told me but BOT is always on one side of the extreme. Either people are absolutely loving a film or absolutely hating it. There can be no inbetween. 

 

Im hoping with that $4M it did this weekend, it can get another expansion so I can see actually see it. Based on what my friends have told me.....I NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE!

Alita will be lucky to make what Uncle Drew made its OW, during its entire theatrical run.

Because it's the MCU.

People always want to spin it into gold when the MCU underwhelms.

Imagine what will happen when they get their first full-fledged, undeniably tanking flop.

If Wonder woman1984 or Shazam had the kind of second weekend this is having, the last word they would use is "doing aight."

Double standards...
