GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 WEEKEND THREAD

That would be a brutal drop for Mario if estimates hold (they will almost certainly go up as it's Deadline), but it also shows just how much it's benefited from having zero competition for a whole month.

Yup.

[ThomasNicole]

47-48 isn’t bad for early estimates , i was expecting 45-46

 

I do hope walkups can push it to 50M … but i know a surprise is probably more likely tomorrow

I beg your pardon. 
The behemoth that was “Big George Foreman” would like a word. 
It grossed *dozens* of dollars in each of its 3000+ theatres.

Hilarious that Deadline believes bad music choices for trailers is hurting it more than the bad received past MCU movies lol 

 

 

[Cap]

I just popped in to say that Cap is the best trilogy.

So, in another few hours, do we call keysersoze123 a genius for his $45M call (and $28M true Friday) to start the day?

Hoping for 50m. Deserves so much more than mid 40.

[M37]

Fwiw, the Drafthouse numbers from the tacking thread suggested a ~1.6x Th/Fr ratio. The only major release to beat that math/method by more than 5% was (surprisingly!) AMWQ, though with a holiday weekend effect 

 

That same method extrapolated out to ~4.5x through Saturday, or ~$79M total. But I won’t be surprised if GOTG3 beats that by a bit with a big Sat

AOU maybe but how is IM3 a let down on the box office front? It nearly doubled what IM2 made worldwide. 

I did forget how well IM3 did on the OS front. There were plenty of people who expected $500+ DOM though after TA, I remember that very vividly.

Some people were also disappointed that it lost the 2013 domestic crown to Catching Fire and OS/WW to Frozen.

Or something else?

IM3 wasn't good, so I was glad it lost out to the better movies that were CF and Frozen.

Me too. Especially the huge and completely unexpected breakout that was Frozen.

We are going back to they way it was in 2000s, comic book movies could be successful but not totally dominant, I don't think another 2018-2019 where we had 7 $1b + grossers from that genre alone will happen again 

[vafrow]

After just coming back from it, as long as this does well enough that it's box office doesn't become the story around it, then it'll be fine. This is a good movie, and with only one more Marvel movie slated to come out until this time next year, if this helps set the standard that people associate with Marvel, then it'll help the next films.

 

One of my big takeaways is that this was a film that was given time to cook. When they went to a new location, it was fully formed and thought out. Lots happens, but nothing feels superfluous. I hope that slowing down the churn in Marvel can help get them back here.

I’m in a nearly empty theater and the movie is about to start.

With that number, it will miss 600M. Might not even hit 580M. But it has had an amazing run already. Reaching these numbers is like a bonus now.

The fact the rotj rerelease is gonna beat its final total despite not having previews and only being out in 475 theatres for juat a week is hillarious.
