Oh well 🙂...I was signed in to OT on Monday morning, so I only have time for The First Purge on Sunday. I'll catch HT3 next weekend with Equalizer 2.

Kevin Hart by himself doesn't really sell a movie and it looks like Johnson by himself can't really sell a movie beyond a certain opening weekend

Kevin Hart is a bit hyper and need a serious strait men to bounce off be fully efficient (Ferell, Cube, Johnson), but he can sell an impressive amount of theater tickets without even having any movie:

Gravity and San Andreas doing 55m were probably helped by their star, but that the kind of movie that do it with no one, making it a bit harder to pin point.

 

Deepwater Horizon did only 20.2m with a nice assemble, Days after tomorrow made over 100m adjusted OW with Denis Quaid....

Dennis Quaid is a big draw baby..

I've said this so many times and I'll say it again.  I'm 46 now and have studied the box office for about 30 years.  And no matter how much I think I know (and I really don't think I know much anymore), the box office humbles me so much more than it doesn't.  

One of my big one was my: Who is going to watch deadpool but didn't went to see John Wick.

 

And to add to this, you had those thought/prediction once marketing trailer, knowing exactly what the competition look like and what the movie before in the year did, the social climate, etc... imagine when reading a script of a movie to be released in 3 or 4 year's and having to decide.

Jesus fuck that's horrible for Skyscraper

2nd Update, Friday: Sony Animation’s Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation as expected will lead the box office this weekend with an opening now estimated between $40M-$42M off a $14M-$16M Friday. Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson vehicle Skyscraper might be a movie that’s about a high rise that’s up in flames, but its opening weekend is looking pretty chilly right now with a $7.5M Friday and a 3-day between $19M-$21M in third.

Looks like I underestimated HT3 and overestimated Skyscraper.  BAD WEEKEND FOR @That One Guy PREDICTIONS.

My Survivor is so fucked 

[Ryan Reynolds]

The Rock is overexposed 

[baumer]

Just saw Skyscraper. Didn't like it at all. It's honestly too bad because there were three movies I was really excited for this summer. Deadpool part 2, Meg, and skyscraper. Skyscraper might be the most disappointing film I've seen definitely this year but maybe over the last couple of years.

[L Silverman]

Having the reviews for Fallout drop yesterday pretty much killed Skyscraper.  Everyone's waiting to see Fallout and giving the Rock a pass.

What was specifically disappointing about Skyscraper?

[CJohn]

Dwayne is gonna have a legendary meltdown on social media after those numbers.

[Empire]

Skyscraper numbers are awful.

I completely disagree, I think it's perfect summer fun that's enjoyable if you forgive the fact that it's predictable as hell.  Any scene where he's climbing on the building or the crane is breathtaking.  I did go in with pretty low expectations though after Rampage disappointed me.

Vin Diesel may have a field day with it.

[Krissykins]

Oh that’s not good at all for Skyscraper. 

 

I wonder how he’ll address it on instagram. 

 

Poor Neve.
