- Guardians 2 will be looking at easily its best hold to date. It has shown some great weekdays numbers, and with the same studio double-feature effect, it may end up holding even better than I'm predicting.
- Alien: Covenant, on the other hand, is in a rough spot. Historically, R-rated blockbusters do not have strong Friday increases. If it performs like Mad Max percentage over the weekend, it would gross a little under $14M. I am expecting worse here due to extremely mixed word of mouth.
- There isn't much else going on with the rest of the holdovers. Some sharp theater drops will prevent very strong holds for a number of films, including King Arthur.
I hate to say it, but...
Even if my low prediction ends up happening, I can definitely see them deciding to do a 6th one with Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley as main characters.
Fuck I just got out of it and left right when the credits started thinking this of all movies wouldn't have anything. Now I'm pissed lol I didn't even hate the movie either.King Arthur has an after credits scene? lol. Who shows up? Merlin? Lancelot?
why god whyI hate to say it, but...

I wonder if Charlie Hunam is looking at the King Arthur grosses and second guessing turning down Fifty Shades of Grey. I mean, it is trading shit for shit, but at least one of those shits makes money.
I suppose on paper being King Arthur sounds cooler than being Postmenopausal wank material.

Nah, i think he will get a pass, cause people saying Arthur was all on Ritchie
Hunam just sticking around for the Undeclared movie.
Or the Nicholas Nickleby cinematic universe.

Yes, more dispassionate on-screen pairings that are a black hole of chemistry and appeal. Surely that's at the heart of the success of the last several Fast/Furious films.
lmaowhy god why
The first film was not small-scale. Its budget, adjusted for inflation, was almost $200 million.I mean, the biggest thing stopping a Pirates 6 from happening is their complete and utter inability to rein the budgets the fuck in. There's so much potential for a reasonably budgeted small-scale adventure film in the vein of the original, but they keep blowing $300 fucking million on epic sea battles, CGI zombie armies, and liberal amounts of coke and heroine for Johnny and his pal Keith.

The Chinese box office board at BOT is reporting that Paramount made a $130M+ minimum guarantee cut for Transformers 5 in China. That seems quite high given that they would typically get 25% of the box office gross, and TF5 isn't going to make $500M in China. I don't know how those deals work, but I assume that they basically sold the film to Chinese distributors, even though it was a profit sharing film. If they can continue doing that, the franchise is never going to end. That's over half of the production budget subsidized.
Johnny and his pal Keith.
Ya. The original was considered a pretty big risk before release.
But $200M would be a scaled-back budget compared to everything after.
I'm getting reminded a lot of how Depp's last few blockbusters had expectations go lower and lower, and then still fall well short of expectations. I'm seeing it tonight, so I'll be interested to see how the crowd reacts to it.Good Analysis. It looks like you dropped Pirates even further from yesterday.
Why would you want it to end? Do you hate me or something? China's doing God's work here.
If you already committed 29 hours of your life to a movie, you might as well finish it!I was just making an observation. I am good at ignoring movies that I don't want to see, so they can make 20 Bayformers films if they want to. I still haven't seen Revenge of the Fallen. I did see Dark of the Moon and about 2/3s of Age of Extinction though (along with the first film).

That movie was long as hell and the last 90 minutes is just noise and color.
You take that back. Hong Kong was fucking cool.
"The central government will protect Hong Kong at any cost!"You take that back. Hong Kong was fucking cool.
Age of Extinction is legit the only movie I've ever seen in my life to cause my eyes feel actual pain.

Hopefully it's better than the 1st one.We deserve this.
I saw from the part just before they killed TJ Miller, to around the time that they were riding dinosaurs through Hong Kong. It was on network TV so it was more like 45 hours long.
Green Lanterned?
The Sinestro Corps teaser at the end basically rubbed it in your face that there was now zero chance of ever seeing the Sinestro Corps War adapted to film. Green Lantern was so thoroughly tarnished that he got demoted from being a founding Justice League member in the DCEU.
I totally forget what the humans were doing in that movie, i checked out on them when the boyfriend showed up
why god why
I still remember when Gunface took that one guy into his giant ship and I thought to myself, "It's been two hours and this still hasn't entered the 3rd act."
You could pay top money for a picture of my face when I realized that.
Because Captain Jack is funny, but carries nearly no emotional weight. He's not the one you want to anchor a film.
Put him in it, sure, but your need a straight man or woman to anchor the film.
I don't have much interest in Pirates 5, but I am interested in knowing how many times a year Disney will use effects wizardry to de-age older actors to their 20-30 something former selves. That seems to be their thing in every Disney film I see these days.

If you're saying Pirates 6 needs to add The Rock & Statham, I'd pay good money for that
It feels like a dry run for something big
