And I know I'm very late to the party here but I really really hope nobody here is expecting our hoping or even praying that alien Romulus has even a modicum of a smidgette of a chance of doing 100 million opening weekend. I think 60 million would be phenomenal but everything is pointing to about 50. 

 

I don't think the alien franchise has been that relevant since James Cameron's Magnus Opus in 1986.

 

Unless I'm mistaken, the highest opening weekend for any alien film was for Prometheus and it did 50 million on the nose. I don't see how Romulus is going to exceed that significantly.

Anything above 40m would be a win in my opinion

With all the behind the scenes drama with It Ends With Us which maybe means a sequel is in jeopardy reminded me on the missed opportunity of not doing a Crazy Rich Asians sequel by WB.

Prometheus did a little over 51M. I’m hoping for Romulus to beat that even if just by a smidgen.

They will do it with a recast. The main male character in the sequel (and the real love interest) of the female character is the other actor and It has more space in the second book than Atlas.

 

 

I don't think Baldoni as actor had any impact for the success of the movie. Actually on the YouTube trailer everyone was complaining for his character "not being like in the book".

IO2 should pass JW around Labor Day weekend or shortly afterward. I have it pegged to go to $662-663M final tally.

D&W is very unlikely to pass JW (it is about $8.1M behind it already and dropping against it).

D&W was released later in summer so its weekdays are starting to fall back and JW had a Labor Day expansion that added roughly $5-5.5M to its final total that D&W won't get. D&W is not a lock to pass Barbie at this point. 

 

That is not to take anything away for D&W's aboslutely freakin fantastic run. For an R rated movie to be doing what it is doing is just insane.

 

I'm very interested to see how D&W does this weekend losing IMAX/PLF screens.

Lol, flipped the order on these. Think it should be pretty clear, but just in case:

IO2 nearly locked

dpw ~50/50

4.5 for DPW

 

That's a 15% drop, seems kind of hefty but then again it lost a lot of the bigger formats last night. I do think it's going to have a strong weekend though. The Friday and Saturday jumps should be considerably bigger now that more schools are back in.

[baumer]

With strong Friday and Saturday jumps I can see Deadpool doing around 27 million this weekend.
