Easy. FB3 was so bad they had to issue plenty of refunds in bulk. BTW why does it matter if it overtakes Uncharted, it should lose a place to Sonic 2 as well, so that film will only going to slide from the charts from now.

I mean this is a box office forum, people here want to see accurate numbers

Do people really still think TGM has a shot at $700 million? That seems pretty unlikely.

At least up by 500k from estimate. Still a terrible rsault.

Theaters getting ready to drop Lightyear from its biggest screens and giving them all to TGM this July 4th weekend.

Of course it has a shot. 600m was unlikely and now it's a lock.

Sure. It's going to play at least through Labor Day and the drops stay soft it'll just keep adding cash. I think it'll come up just short but will get close. At this point, I'd be surprised if it doesn't finish with 685M+ DOM.

On day 16 BLACK PANTHER was $106m ahead of TOP GUN. Now on day 31 TOP GUN has closed the gap to $85m.  By Friday it should close the gap to $80m and to $70m by Sunday. July 4th is the next day.

25 #1s. 6 are Mission Impossibles. 2 are Top Guns

 

Tom Cruise having more number 1s than Tom Hanks is both surprising and not too surprising, there are plenty of Hanks films which were successful but didn't open at number 1 like The Terminal, Catch Me If You Can and Captain Phillips.

Will FB3 turn a profit?

No. Marketing and Advertising loss at least but it made back it's budget. More or less the same budget as Lightyear which won't even make it's budget(2x) not even mentioning it's advertising budget.

What do you think are the odds they'll make a FB4?

I’ll give it up to @lorddemaxus though for the amount of Hahas to his post.

So this weekend gross around $135m. Fall short of 150m that many hoped, mostly because of Elvis and LY that came in at the super low end of projection whereas TGM and JWD fall short a bit from what we saw with the mid-week numbers.
