Yeah. Deadpool, DOFP, and Logan are dogshit.

Deadpool is crap.

Logan is ok.

DOFP is good.

Looks big for Venom, would have to be very front loaded just to end in the 50’s. 

 

Even Paranormal Activity 3 got to $53m with 2m less in previews. 

 

Fantastic for A Star Is Born, going tomorrow. 

 

Can A Star Is Born beat Venom next weekend? 

[DAR]

For at least one weekend Venom isn't a turd in the wind

It most definitely can

[CoolioD1]

Just saw the Dark Avengers thread. Venom's IMPACT! Feige is taking notes.

[divinity83]

I just can't believe some people thought an R-rated musical drama was going to beat a CBM based on a Marvel character. 

 

I just got back from ASIB and I will be seeing Venom tonight. ASIB really had me in my feelings and I've seen the Streisand version. An actual tear formed and rolled down one of my cheeks and I had to discreetly wipe it away. I was shocked. Gaga is good.

 

We shall see what kind of legs it has.

Yeah, I definitely underestimated the current popularity of the Superhero genre. They are surely the Westerns of the era, attracting many people regardless of quality. Sony will surely make a profit.

 

But, well, it's thrilling to see A Star is Born at least pose a threat. Maybe a musical will triumph over a superhero film another day.

Superhero is not a genre.

[Fanboy]

Those preview numbers are more in line with what I expected for both movies. Can still see Venom in the 60s and ASIB in the 40s for the weekend. 

[Valonqar]

This is what opening weekend should always look like. passionate fandoms supporting their movies in full force.

I was gonna go see ASIB tonight, but then I realized there's no point to the world and decided to stay home with my cats.

 

My friend went, and said that there was a girl in the audience that was sobbing so hard throughout the whole movie everyone was staring.  Someone was like "it's just a movie" to her.  All the old ladies were gossiping about in the bathroom.
