Bomba alert
It'll only make $300m Domestic instead of the $350m the last one made. This is the end of the road for this franchise.
;P
I'm guessing the drop will be close to $100M domestic from the last film.
First day in China was $64M including midnights. $68M with fees. TFA will keep the record I think.

I guess that Paul Walker death bump was real.
Didn't realize people were so morbid...
Didn't realize he was so beloved and people wanted to see his last performance.
See You Again
3rd on Billboard's Hot 100 for the year
12 Weeks at 1.
7 was the perfect storm on all fronts. Also, it helped the quality from 6 to 7 was better, than 7 to 8.

For the others in the series since 2Fast2Furious I was there at the midnight or earlier showing.
This was seriously the first one where the trailers just completely turned me off, not even sure if I want to see it in theaters at all.

I have only been at the midnight showings for 4-8.
Never bothered seeing Tokyo Drift in theaters at all.
Don't regret a single thing.

Movietickets percentage and other online signs were pointing towards this. If it has the same preview share as F7, the opening weekend will come it at $98M.
If so, this would be the first time tracking has overprojected a domestic opening since Lego Batman, right? For major openers, that is.
I guess it depends if you consider GitS major.

I don't think I can answer this without making the obvious pun.
Thats pretty low?
Lower than expected, no?
$22m under F7 opening day, which it was never going to match, but $7m ahead of F6 opening day so could still hit $100m ow. Not sure how Sunday drop gets affected though with it being Easter.

Early estimates for F7 were in the $55M range, if I recall correctly. We'll see if this can increase as the day goes on.

Gitesh is reporting that F8 is looking at $44M today. If that holds, the weekend could come in under F6's $97M.
Seems pretty clear that Furious 7 was a one time bump domestically.
Because of the Paul walker stuff or what?

Yeah. That played a part.
I guess they did go there for the tuna after all.

Wkd BO 0414-0617 - Family Killed The Major
Wasn't somebody saying something a couple weeks ago about the ScarJo casting actually being for China and they love her there or something?

Somebody was saying GitS was going to make $200 million profit on the back of it being huge in China.
They've since moved on to popping up every once in a while, asking if other films are bombs too and then acting like that is some checkmate moment.

I think the only movies that have survived being the subject of a race/gender issue recently were Dr. Strange and Mad Max, and it happened to Mad Max after the movie was already out cause Miller tricked em into thinking it was a super manly movie

I think the only way that GITS could have done worse at this point was deciding to launch a week before F8, rather than two weeks.

All three in the "wait, you're spending how much?!?!" club, too.

Let's be real, the only one of those three films that was actually hurt by the controversy was Ghostbusters. The other two were already fucked by the much bigger problem of being garbage movies with no appeal to mainstream audiences.

Variety is saying estimates point to a $103 million weekend for F8.
Would have thought BATB would have bigger legs than what it currently does. Not to say it's doing poorly, just my expectations.

GitS was one weekend behind F8 in China.
We have to wait for the official estimates, but Deadline had GitS at 10th place this Friday domestically, with a 63% drop (which is even worse than it looks since Friday was a holiday).

Ghostbusters 2016 was pretty garbage too though.

Ohana means family. Family means every other movie gets left behind.

I'm starting to wonder which studio is gonna disappear - as we know it - first, Paramount or Sony Pictures.
Don't worry about Sony. They got the sure fire hit classic that everyone will quote and rewatch for years to come
