16M for DR1 or whatever. Who cares. Gonna tank 65% next weekend without PLFs against a 130M+ opener and a 40M+ opener.

[ThomasNicole]

Let’s talk about the goodies 

 

Disney/Pixar’s Elemental continues to hold in the top five with an estimated fifth weekend of $8.8M, a great -12% hold, and a running total of $125.3M.

I can see Cruise leaving Paramount. Not only did they botch the release of  this movie but weren’t they also heavily pushing Cruise to sell TGM to streamers?

All that Flash praise wasn't for nothing, Cruiser about to spearhead Zaslav's WB

Yes, they wanted to sell it to Netflix.

yes

 

All of these movies opened much higher than Elemental.

[Mojoguy]

No matter what happens with this weekend with MI:DR, we will always have this masterpiece which will always be one of the greatest boxoffice runs of all time.

 

[Marathon]

Tom Cruise is starting to look like a middle-aged rocker version of himself.

[MrPink]

Love my popcorn.

Popcorn.

240M WW opening still pretty solid. As I said last week, MI7 is likely going to have a meh opening, a bad second weekend drop (causing uproar and panic on these boards) and then stabilize throughout the rest of summer, ending up with a decent gross north of 200M domestic (probably o/u 700 WW too). 

 

Also, those Elemental and Sound of Freedom holds... wow.

Rock of Ages was a biopic.

Jesus fucking christ. I know the #ElementalSweep is something of a meme but... goddamn, #ElementalSweep. This thing is a mini monster.

[CJohn]

I can't really take this Sound of Freedom run seriously with the pay it forward campaign. Unless they announce the split, this is all bullshit numbers to get it to 100M+.

Until he comes back to buy Paramount.

Elemental it’s nice to see legs play out for once.

I need that 70% Saturday bump
