Is that bad?

It's outstanding for 2014.

Every major besides Disney and to an extent Universal has been effing it up so far this year.

Most people said 50 million besides Tenta and Capp lol 

 

this def will pass 50 million 

And all of those people will be closer to the mark than those two. And FYI, making slightly more than 50 million doesn’t mean people who predicted 90-100m made better predictions. Th

Midsommar, The Souvenir, Booksmart, Godzilla, John Wick, The Dead Don't Die, Crawl, Ma, The Last Black Man in San Francisco, The Farewell, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Hobbs and Shaw, Where'd You Go Bernadette, Blinded By the Light all look great.  This summer looks pretty solid to me

I feel like Crawl could just be a case of good trailer editing, but I agree on the rest. Surprised a big studio took Blinded By the Light, feels like something like Sing Street where it'd open in 4 cinemas, but I'm happy it's getting a bigger push. The Kitchen could be pretty good too.

I'll definitely see Godzilla but as for box office I dunno. I'm not sensing much buzz for it. Wouldn't be surprised if it went either way.

The Upside is really the only movie so far this year that has truly broken out well beyond what was expected of it tbh.

I can't see Far From Home and TLK underperforming. TLK will be the #2 movie this year.

Ah yep typical BOT again.

But it's not like it's going to actually beat Godzilla or Aladdin or Pikachu.

Wouldn't be too sure about that...

TLK will obviously be HUGE, but after seeing so many underperformances I'm starting doubting it will be as huge as people here are expecting it to be.

Yeah, but I'd be surprised if it was even the highest grossing superhero film of that summer tbh

I don't know. I'm kinda excited for TS4, FFH, and especially TLK (the visuals are glorious to behold).

I meant next summer, so omit Dune

 

Right now it's just Nolan and Wonder Woman and a whole lotta nothing. Maybe Top Gun or Jungle Cruise, but I don't want to get my hopes up.
