Who have thought The Meg would be WB’s biggest three day opening opening this year or that it would beat Rampage’s opening which on paper looked like the bigger hit. 

 

Maybe Rampage needed Jason Statham

@a2k From DHD's latest update

 

Rampage ($35.7M, with a domestic that we’re told will ultimately cross $100M). 

Dwayne is salivating at the chance that Rampage might be able to compete for the Best Popular Movie Oscar now.

Great weekend drop for Fallout considering the loss of premium screens. Still aiming at 225m+ DOM

Go Tom, go 

 

 

Can't wait for Crazy Rich Asians to overperform. Kudos to Warner Bros for making a 1) mid-range, $30M movie 2) that's a romcom and 3) the first studio w/ an all-Asian cast since The Joy Luck Club. 

 

Fuck Disney and all the damage they've done and continue to do to the industry.

More credit to the scheduling tbh.

 

The Rock+Monsters can somewhat withstand the onslaught of incoming summer but The Meg probably wouldn't have survived in Rampage' place.

I wonder how The Meg would have fared had it kept its March release date, probably not very well. 

 

The  second weekend of August looks like a slot WB looks at for future tentpoles since Annabelle Creation and now The Meg have been successful there. 

 

CRA breaking out next week will be the icing on the cake for WB

Jason Statham has Hobbs & Shaw next August so we've probably found the new savior of the end of summer lol.

lol @ Rampage being resurrected

 

Hobbs and Shaw is definitely going to outgross F8 of the Furious. I've said that for a while, but these Meg numbers prove Statham has pull.

Deadline, yesterday:

 

Quote

Right now, some are expecting the shark movie to perform like a front-loaded genre title, easing 20% today

I wonder if Slenderman got a boost by being one of the only new releases that moviepass would let you watch.

The WB marketing department should get a raise or a bonus. 

They really are the best in the business.

He defo has a pull and Furious 7 was garnering tons of buzz when he was cast, well before Paul Walker's untimely demise RIP. So The Meg is totally Jason vs Giant Shark appeal. Put a no name in his role and you wouldn't get this opening. Nobody cares to see Alden Ehrenreich, for example, fight a giant shark, but a star like Jason? Bring it. 

 

Amazing hold for MI6, hopefully the actual stays above 20M.
