Honestly? The winner of the weekend is 47 Meters Down. Considering what I heard about the ending, I would have thought it'd drop over 60%.

Good for WW.
Glad to see a relatively steep decline for Cars from the last film. Franchise is trash. Same goes to TF.

I would imagine all that Lucy goodwill is gone
Major openings for Age of Extinction vs The Last Knight
- China's opening weekend is misleading, as The Last Knight is expected to come in $70-100M behind Age of Extinction overall in China.
- The 8 other non-China openers I highlighted are the top territories for The Last Knight this weekend. They also represented 42.5% of the total non-China overseas gross for Age of Extinction.
Code:
[B]Age of Extinction The Last Knight[/B]
China $92M $123M (+34%)
[B]Other Overseas Openers[/B]
South Korea $15.9M $13M (-18%)
United Kingdom $20.1M $5.8M (-64%)
Germany $11.2M $4.7M (-58%)
Russia $21.4M $8.6M (-60%)
Taiwan $5.5M $4.1M (-25%)
Australia $8.3M $3.6M (-57%)
Phillipines $5.7M $3.3M (-42%)
Malaysia $6.6M $2.8M (-58%)
[B]TOTAL (no China) $94.7M $45.9M (-52%)[/B]- China's opening weekend is misleading, as The Last Knight is expected to come in $70-100M behind Age of Extinction overall in China.

I'm so used to wonder woman's spectacular legs that I was upset it was "only" a 39% drop

"Snore than meets the eye"? I... like it.
It's amazing how the Cars franchise keeps being Pixar's biggest earner in terms of merchandising but none of the movies have ever done all that well at the box-office. Relatively speaking, of course.

It got a chuckle out of me.
You should probably expect similar (and perhaps higher) drops over the next two weeks. Wonder Woman has been benefiting from all of these flops (and Father's day last weekend).

Nice.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
The domestic take for these Transformers films is just going to keep bleeding out until they invest in a halfway decent script. Problem is only going to be compounded by having spin-off movies, which will make it even easier to ignore the mainline series.

Bayformers.
I would love to see a reimagined Transformers cinematic universe.
Bay can GTFO.
Time to bury this franchise.
So, what's the likelihood WW is clean #2 after Sunday actuals?
Also, I tried to hate watch Transformers with my wife Friday night. We didn't make it halfway through before we left. It was Alamo so we got some good food and beer. Basically our timer for leaving that shitshow was when the bucket of beer ran out.
It's a parody of itself at this point. I had no idea what was going on. Why anyone was doing anything they were doing. The pacing was just insanely uneven. The action scenes were unfollowable and I literally cared about none of the characters and couldn't tell you who any of them were. I mean, I guess I saw the Samurai bot in the previous movie? I guess there was a callback to barricade disappearing in the very first movie? and there are small dinobots? The fuck did they come from?

Wonder if WW has an outside shot at catching GotG2 domestic?

And Kumail Nanjianis critically adored romantic comedy The Big Sick should earn $435,000 during its opening weekend in five locations that would give the Lionsgate and Amazon Studios release the highest per screen average of any film that has opened this year so far.
Kumail and Emilys true story provided audiences of all ages a much-needed alternative to the summer blockbusters, said Bob Berney, Amazon Studios distribution chief.

Good to hear!
People should be heading out to see The Big Sick, one of the best romcoms in years.

It's unlikely, but Wonder Woman might have a chance at edging out Pirates.
Outside shot for sure. Probably not gonna happen though. But it'll end up within ~$10M though

Paramount is running out of franchises. If they let Transformers go on hiatus they will only have the Star Trek TV show to bring in that geek money.

If the legs end up being the same as TF4 is overseas regions outside of China, that will result in an overseas gross of $270M. So worldwide, the box office would be...
$140M (DOM) + $270M (INT) + $250M (China) = $660M
A 40% drop-off from TF4.
Close to a lock. Disney is projecting a 10% drop for Cars 3 on Sunday, so that film could be overestimated by $1M.
It does. Next weekend and the one following will decide how likely that is. It needs drops closer to 40% than 50%.
Wonder Woman will pass Suicide Squad on Wednesday and BvS on Friday.

What's stopping Paramount from making another Star Trek movie?
I am shocked Transformers even remembers any of its characters.

I like how WW has a rotten symbol next to it with a 92% score. 
What? No. No.
It doesn't need a "cinematic universe." That doesn't even make sense for Transformers. It needs a reboot and a single series of movies.

Ah yes the exces banked so hard on the popularity of the Chinese/Asian market they forgot Asians are not some stupid and blind fools wasting cash on garbage just because it has robots in it.

They are making another one starring Thor. But the Trek movies don't bring in a lot of money, they are extremely weak internationally.
Last one wasn't really much of a success, was it?
I think it is likely. It will depend on how Pirates (and Wonder Woman to a lesser extent) does in Japan though.
Both will likely end up in the $750-800M range. Both are pretty much set to beat Transformers worldwide.

Didn't Beyond underperform?
Edit: I forgot they're making that prequel movie with Thor.
I could have sworn Tyrese was supposed to come back too, but maybe that Fast 8 money was too good

Cinemascore is, and always has been, a trash and meaningless metric.
