M:I Fallout is the most fun I've had at the box office all year.  

Agreed

Scott says The Meg could take a big bite of the gross next weekend.

MI-F made $14.5m in IMAX alone.  will it hold IMAX next week? Is the Meg in IMAX?  

Yes.

[Brainbug]

The Meg will open to 300M at minimum, so ofc its competition.

Mile 22 and The Meg are direct competition targeting adults

I don’t think Mile 22 or The Meg are going to put up much of a fight. I’m predicting 15m for Mile 22 and 20m for The Meg. So a third weekend for MI: Fall Out on top.

[filmlover]

I have The Meg opening at a flat $20M next weekend, nothing more or less.

[Johnny Tran]

Funny enough this dude at work is HYPED for The Meg. I don't see it but maybe we'll go if the weather is crap.  I'm contemplating just seeing M:I for a second time.  We saw it in Imax so I'm not sure I'd want to see it on a reg screen now.

It's a crime that Edge of Tomorrow didn't make much more money. Such a cool movie. 

One of the few times WB had a terrible marketing campaign (along with the bad title) for one of their movies.

Big drops next week, The MEG is coming to chomp on those summer legs.

Yes the marketing wasn't good, but also manga/anime adaptations  just don't do good box office. @IronJimbo

EIGHTH GRADE, despite already being open in most major cities, out performed DEATH OF A NATION, which may become Dinesh’s lowest grossing documentary ever.

 

Perhaps there is hope for our nation.

Theres no scary dem or black guy in the office. Fear-mongering can only get you so far when you literally control all branches of government. Im sure it would do better if dems were in control.

[filmlover]

I will pluck down $12 to see The Meg if it's revealed that Jason Statham punches the megalodon in the face.

Misleading hyperbole based on literally 3 films (Ghost in a Shell, Speed Racer and Dragon Ball Evolution).

[MrPink]

I think if Oblivion didn't exist either, people would have been more receptive to seeing another Cruise sci-fi film.

yep. you're as good as your last film. or so they say..

[KJsooner]

Not exactly a hot take, but Fallout is the best movie of the year.

Yeah and those films had massive issues. Ghost in the shell was riddled with bad press about the casting, DB evolution was a freaking terrible film that had no connection to the show or comics. Im not sure about speed racer though I didnt really follow that movie.
