Oh my God, the salt... your tears are delicious.
What? Half that list is better than SS. I would put SS on the same level as Transformers
Wait...Snowden is in Amazon Prime?
Those daily takes are pretty dire for Blair Witch. 12% drop on Saturday, 44% drop on Sunday.
By contrast, Don't Breath dropped 1.5% and 34% in its opening weekend. The Witch, which had a similar opening but good reviews and legs, rose 2% Saturday and then dropped 34% Sunday.
It's going to be a very front loaded opening for Blair Witch, especially considering what it had been tracking to up until Friday.

MCU needs Robert Downey Jr. to make that kind of bank
Not gonna happen. The Harley film is damage control. Even heard JL is going straight to CW to be part of their continuity now.

Kinda ridiculous IMO Kubo and Pete's Dragon are being outgrossed by The Wild Life for two consecutive straight weeks. It's yet another of those typical CG DTV-level films Lionsgate dumps into theaters on the cheap, and it's still managing to beat out two far-better reviewed films of its demographic.
Especially salty since my local theater decided to air TWL, but skipped out on Kubo...
Kubo and Pete's Dragon have been out for weeks. Wild Life has yet to even match either ones opening weekend.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
And I thought Blair Witch would perform well given the early reviews, damn.
Lionsgate got La La Land and possibly Hacksaw Ridge lined-up that could score well at the box-office.
Power Rangers could very well be another bomba domestically but do good business overseas, we'll see.

Just for fun, here are the 7th weekend (domestic) grosses for all MCU era Marvel/DC comic films (spring 2008 to present)
A few films had their 7th weekend land on Labor Day weekend. Labor Day typically results in a 20-30% better drop than a film would normally have.
Suicide Squad had the 7th best 7th weekend out of the 29 films listed.

I don't think the Bridget Jones films have ever done especially well in the US compared to overseas. I went to see it in a London cinema over the weekend and the showing was completely sold out (must have been the most lop-sided movie, demographically, I've ever seen at the cinema - about 90% women in their mid 20s to 40s, 10% gay men). Looking at the figures it's doing just fine overseas. Another example of the US not equalling the world.
I thought it was a pretty mediocre movie to be honest, but better than the awful second one at least.

Calling it, WW is gonna make a billion.
Suicide Squad wasn't going to break $900M, or beat BvS with China. China would have needed to be in the $150M range for $900M to happen. The only comic films over that mark are Age of Ultron and Civil War.
I think that prediction goes in the same box as those "ID4R over $1B" predictions from last year.

It'll make most of its budget back in the U.K alone. For some reason we love this shit.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Probably because those films get played on ITV every weekend.
After the plastic surgery, she really has to force the squinty-eyed look. I haven't seen the film, but even from the trailer you can see that look come and go on the fly.

I'll still see Blair Witch but not for full ticket price. I'm a big fan of the original and I quite liked Book of Shadows despite the producers' interference, but the trailer for this made it look like a bigger-budget, louder remake of the first and the reviews are worse than I expected. I'll see it out of love for the franchise but I don't expect to find it very good.
I assume that the main cast of Bridget Jones wanted to be paid for the cash-in sequel. $35M isn't all that much these days though.
Sully has a shot at $150M domestic. If it hits $148.1M, it will pass Gran Torino to become Eastwood's second biggest film. He will probably remain the only feature film/wide release director in history to have his biggest two films happen after the age of 80.

It's catching on.

A man standing with a sperm injector is considered quality nowadays?
No Avatar? ;P
That part was silly, and also only a very short part of the film. Weird comment

The entire third act was silly. Ruined the movie.
Do not understand the praise it gets :/

Won't lie, I was really expecting Blair Witch to be a hit since it was directed by Adam Wingard and was kept entirely under raps until a few months ago.

It's going to plummet like a rock next weekend. Most horror movies do anyway, but check out that audience score. Movie is dogshit in the eyes of its target audience. If the total budget is $25m (5 production + 20 marketing), it's going to struggle hard to break even theatrically.
That Mummy reboot is gonna break the bank in the UK if that's the case. Get a Brendan Fraiser cameo in there and it's a lock.

ok. some of us had hopes we'll ever see a good DC cinematic universe in our lifetime, those hopes are pretty much gone now.

I hate Jurassic World with a burning passion (deeply, intensely, and somewhat irrationally), but no, SS is worse. And it sure as fuck isn't better than either Avengers, and honestly not even Phantom Menace. I've only seen Alice in pieces, but it would be hard for me to call it worse either. Haven't seen the other 3.
Suicide Squad is a fundamentally broken movie. It has the worst pacing and plot structure of any movie I've ever seen, period. It sits alongside Grown Ups and Snow White and the Huntsman as one of the worst made movies I've seen in theatres, despite its mostly enjoyable cast.

This is so dramatic. Even the youngest posters on this forum went through three Batmans and three Spider-Mans in their lives.
Unfortunately for Wingard, it seems like his films get noticed only when they hit video. You're Next got a lot of hype and marketing (sound familiar?), only to wind up DOA when it came out theatrically. The Guest suffered an even worse fate, since it was never in wide release.

Well the Suicide Squad 700 thread is going about as well as I predicted it would go last week.
I guess everyone has their own niche/bubble, it is weird though how many people didn't know it crossed 700 million since happened a week or so ago and there's a weekly box-office thread. I guess many don't pop into them
