AdrianL Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Idk if anyone predicted Bad Boys doing 200m+ and Sonic potentially doing 175m+. Crazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if there wasn't Valentine's day on Friday & President Day on Sunday, we were looking at $3.7mn Friday & $3.9mn Sunday for $14mn weekend i.e. -58%. Even Sonic weekend is boosted by $10mn.

Madhuvan Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 BOP 62 +17.3*2.5 = 105. 25m 62 +17.3*2 = 96.6m 62+17.3*1.75= 92.275m Seems all certain to cross 90m Domestic. With good holds will cross 100m. Not a big underperformer. Sequel should happen. 2 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 This decade is going to be for video game movie mainstream success what the 00’s was for CBMs, calling it now. We are right on the brink of the first true video game box office juggernaut, not sure what it is but I would bet money it’s close. The first three fresh VGMs and highest grossing ones all in the last year. The tides are definitely turning I’d say. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, it definitely has the calendar to thank. Course next weekend when it corrects (as all the films will do) the reverse sorrows will be ironic. The fact that we are happy with it just missing the 50% mark on an inflated holiday weekend without a massive week 1 opening says a lot. Not sure WB could have done much to improve it knowing now how its production was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will eventually make my opinion on the quality itself once I see it and better understand how it played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhuvan Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) The main problem with BOP was marketing. Movie is actually quite good. The movie should have been marketed in more friendly way rather than on your face. They should have marketed this as a big event. BOP is the first Superhero female ensemble. WB had an opportunity to set a benchmark. Edited February 16, 2020 by Madhuvan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhuvan Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 One of the problem was no big star except Robbie and Ewan McGregor. Deadpool was exception otherwise CBMs always try to get big actor in good supporting role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The layout of this particular calendar configuration is unique in the fact that its only every 6 years or so (similar to when Christmas and New Years fall on Fridays). Nowhere else on the Domestic calendar do we have a legitimate 4 day weekend that starts with the equivalent of a super movie date night. Closest that happens consistantly would be Easter, but its a skewed playout with its own rules. This particular calendar set up overly benefits / skews all movies in play somewhat in a way that other 4 day weekends do not. That being said, you are correct in that most movies benefit on some level from a holiday, since NA has them on a 6 to 8 week basis spread. This is just not a normal holiday playout.
