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.
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.
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.$10.4M in domestic Thursday previews for Fate of the Furious.

If so, this would be the first time tracking has overprojected a domestic opening since Lego Batman, right? For major openers, that is.
I don't think I can answer this without making the obvious pun.I guess it depends if you consider GitS major.
Deadline is saying $45.5M for Fate of the Furious on Friday based on early presales and matinee business.

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.
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.
Yeah. That played a part.Because of the Paul walker stuff or what?
Brian is the real MVP.
Long live the tuna sandwich.
Ghost in the Shell dropped 97% Friday to Friday in China. The highest I have ever seen there. Final total in China might not even hit $30M. Last week looked like $40-50M total.

Somebody was saying GitS was going to make $200 million profit on the back of it being huge in China.Wasn't somebody saying something a couple weeks ago about the ScarJo casting actually being for China and they love her there or something?

All three in the "wait, you're spending how much?!?!" club, too.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
Ghostbusters - bodied
Egypt - bodied
Ghost - bodied

The initial performance was in line with expectations. ”The Fate of the Furious" had been expected to gross at least $100 million for the Easter weekend, which would make it the second-highest launch in ”Fast" franchise history.
Fox's third weekend of animated comedy ”The Boss Baby" was heading for a second-place finish with $15.9 million at 3,743 sites, lifting the surprise hit to $116.7 million. ”The Boss Baby" won the two previous weekends over Disney's blockbuster ”Beauty and the Beast," starring Emma Watson.
”Beauty and the Beast" was a close third with $13.4 million at 3,592 venues. The live-action version of Disney's 1991 animated movie should finish the weekend with a total of $454.4 million in domestic box office.
Probably the most incomprehensible thread title I've ever seen
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.
So we're going with a Family title next week, right?
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.

I'm starting to wonder which studio is gonna disappear - as we know it - first, Paramount or Sony Pictures.
