As savage as Keanu making his way through a club.
Did you mix up weekend and week?
Not really. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekly&id=ghostintheshell2017.htm
Domestically it only made $24m in its first week, $10m in its second.
Then it makes even less sense. Because domestic is not world wide.

Ride that snowpiercer to the end, Trokil. Maybe there will be daylight at the end.
I'm not even sure where John Wick 2 came from. To put that to bed: John Wick 2 made $161 million worldwide, it's budget was only $40 million. That is profit, which is success. If GITS gets lucky, it's make more than Get Out too! (Get Out's budget is $4 million. Tons of profit.)
Ghost in the Shell Worldwide Numbers Last Week: $48 million
Ghost in the Shell Worldwide Numbers This Week: $10 million
It's done. That's all she wrote, unless it has crazy Zootopia legs.
3 headshots for John Wick 3
Maybe it was worldwide. Any way you look at it, $37m domestic $115m foreign is a bad sign for a movie with a budget greater than $100m.
That means $20.3m of the domestic gross, $37m of the foreign gross and $5.7m of the China gross goes to Paramount (based on the 55/40/25 rule). So from the gross from the theatrical run up to now the studio gets $63m which only covers about half of the production budget, and won't come close to covering whatever they spent on marketing.
Paramount will lose a lot of money on this movie, no matter what happens.

Im confused, did Your Name have just a 6 day theatrical run? What a bizarre decision.

There's another one coming, but it'll basically be a reboot of the series. No Craig, no Mara, no Fincher.

Last I heard Fede Alvarez was attached, and while he's no Fincher, that's a solid choice. His sensibilities work with the material.
It was still playing around here in the same theaters it had the previous weekend. I'm guessing that Funimation forgot to report numbers, since I can't imagine that it fell off a cliff that hard with what movies are on the bottom of the list to top it.

I heard they are doing the 4th book, but without a new cast and Fincher
Nope, it's still playing, I saw it again yesterday, and there are still showings through the week.
Dunno why it's no longer tracked.

I just got word that GitS just made another $150 million in profit, fueled entirely by my hopes and dreams.
BINGO!

ANOTHER 150 mil in profit?! Holy cow!
Where was the first 150 million in profit?
Answer: At the end of a rainbow.
Isn't that sort of what they are doing these days? At least when compared to something like Tokyo Drift. It's cool that they have been keeping as many legacy characters as possible, but a lot of their newer editions are pretty well known. It's the same window dressing approach that Marvel uses when casting their supporting roles and villains.

He was being sarcastic.
I know. But plenty of people are trying to paint this as an underdog cast of sorts in the various F&F threads. The cast is getting to be pretty stacked.

Don't you kill my fanfic you bastard
But yeah starting with 7 they really started stacking the deck with people outside of the main crew
I don't know if audience demographics were posted for Fate of the Furious yet:
"Long heralded for its diverse cast, Furious 8 played to audiences of all ethnicities and nabbed an A CinemaScore. Domestically, Caucasians made up 41 percent of the audience, followed by Hispanics (26 percent), African-Americans (21) percent, Asians (11 percent) and Native American/Other (3 percent), according to comScore's exit polling service PostTrack. The pic skewed male at 58 percent, far more than the last film at 51 percent."
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ne...abs-1002m-us-record-5325m-global-start-994377
F8 IMAX shows brought in $31.1M worldwide, which was the 4th biggest opening of all time in that format (I believe it had the widest IMAX release ever as well).
Regular 2D showings in North America only accounted for 57% of the opening weekend box office (as opposed to 71% for F7). I assume that the remaining 43% was IMAX and premium large format.
Another fact that might have been shared earlier: This is the largest domestic opening weekend of all time for a film by a black director (Gary Gray). Gary already held that record for Straight Outta Compton previously ($60M opening).

Power rangers hasn't opened in as many markets as GiTS
It's far from a success.
Power Rangers isn't doing well, but we're comparing two turds here, it doesn't matter which smells worse.

They are entertaining and a fun distraction from the everyday world.
I could see the series doing an off shoot with some characters (a lot of them) doing a Cannonball run type event. What a turn around that would be!!!!

Dude...OK. Here we go. The team sees Han walk in and is excited to see him!
Tej: "Han, you're alive."
Not Han: "No, he's not and you should know that since you left my brother to die." <pulls out gun>
Uncle Jackie Chan:<walking in behind him> "...And my nephew..."

The team is told to go and stop Jackie Chan. They show up at his lair, but he walks up, hands in the air and says, "I want no trouble..."
Then we witness one of the most spectacular group ass beatings ever put to film as Jackie trounces the entire crew, ending with Jackie taking on The Rock and Jason Statham at the same time.

Only 10 times dirtier.
Actually, fuck it. Fast 9 to be a modern day remake of Enter the Dragon, but they also race cars in addition to having fighting tourneys.
Jackie Chan plays the Han equivalent from Enter the Dragon. End it in a fight scene in a hall of mirrors.
About $460M WW.
However, Furious 7 opened on a Sunday in China, so it's only adding the opening day. Russia also missed the worldwide opening weekend last time, so that would have added an additional $16M.
