Doesn't that technically count as a spoiler? I would know, I got threadbanned last year for unintentionally revealing the villain of Kingsman 2.

Nah, everybody knows at this point she's barely in it. The fact she gets the "And" credit (plus all of her footage in the marketing being recycled from the first movie) gives it away.

I honestly think both Mamma Mia and Equalizer will both make over $100 million domestic.

 

Equalizer should earn on-par with the first one, if Mission Impossible and the August slate doesn’t murder it.

 

Mamma Mia will do fine, and will outgross Equalizer in domestic total and worldwide.

Well, I'm not desperate to lose my virginity so 🤔

[MovieMan89]

Wow, pretty shocked Sequelizer pulled out the victory. Denzel in these kinds of movies really is something unparalleled for pure draw power these days. MM2 did well, but a bit disappointing after what it looked like it might do earlier in the weekend.

 

July has only had one live action 40m+ opener three weekends in, which is pretty absurd. Still say Fallout has the perfect storm to smash everyone's predictions next week. 

 

Great holds for AMATW and I2. Following AM from here would get the former to 225 and following Dory gets the latter to 600.

Looking ahead, the film will likely suffer a bit of a steep drop next weekend as Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible - Fallout, taking a lot of Equalizer's audience. Overall, it seems likely the sequel will fall short of the first film's $101.5 million haul.
