Warner Bros. also has some lagniappe at the weekend box office with The Meg 2: The Trench which is expected to do between $20M-$30M. Last night from previews that began at 3PM, the shark sequel did $3.2M at 3,400 locations. That’s a pretty good result for a sequel that stars a shark: The first Jason Statham movie brought in $4M in previews before churning out a $16.6M Friday, and $45.4M opening off what was a very campy, satirical marketing campaign. The $129M costing Meg 2 has a 50% stake from China’s CMC. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes loathe the sequel at 28% worse than the first movie back in 2018 at 45%. It’s a popcorn film for the masses, not for the tweeds.

WB got a good deal with Meg 2, $130m budget with them only paying half, they will be quids in. 

 

 

[MrPink]

Deadline article also says 5.58m for Oppenheimer, just a 140k shy of 200m.

 

Meg 2, Oppenheimer, and Turtles all look very tight to me for #2.

Barbie joins the BILLIE club this weekend!

 

She is everything. He's just Ken.

What will $3.2m translate to for Meg 2, $23-24m 3 day? 
 

$130m means it has a long way to go, but if WB only exposed to half of that. Still, the first film made $530m worldwide, so it could be heading for a gigantic drop off and no Meg 3.
 

TMNT also sensibly budgeted at $70m.

How come this thread is not recognized as a official weekend thread despite being the earlier opened thread?

[WorkingonaName]

There are 3 weekend threads for this movie, confirming that it is indeed the movie of the summer.
