Mendelson gets paid to do a worse job at box office analysis than a handful of us do here for free.
Homecoming is already $8M ahead of ASM1 after its second weekend, even though ASM1 had over $60M in the bank before the equivalent Thursday night since it opened on a Tuesday. Homecoming's second weekend was also $10M higher than ASM1's. The Dark Knight Rises opened on ASM1's third weekend, leading to a 69% drop. Yet the genius of Mendelson ignores all of that to come up with a similar domestic total to ASM1 for Homecoming because its second weekend drop was 3% higher than the MCU norm.
A few folks in the other thread said to wait for Mendelson's article, so here it is
Yeah K, just like Dad always says, never do anything you're good at for free.Why don't you have his job?
I wonder if Dunkirk has the ability to pull off a Gravity or The Martian type run.

Given how audiences are rejecting some of the bigger franchise plays this summer maybe a wave of great critical reception could power this to a solid opening but running straight through August.
I still say casting Harry Styles was an absolute genius level move by Nolan. He might actually get young women to show up for a WW2 film.

It's weird- there was a wave of articles earlier in the summer talking about how important a good RT score is becoming for Box Office success then two of the best reviewed movies of the summer, Homecoming and Apes, are now seen as under performing. It really makes Dunkirk seem very hard to predict.
I imagine reviews have more of an effect for original movies. You probably knew months ago whether you wanted to watch Spider-Man 6 or Apes 3.

When are Atomic Blonde reviews dropping?
This is kind of sexist tbh.Given how audiences are rejecting some of the bigger franchise plays this summer maybe a wave of great critical reception could power this to a solid opening but running straight through August.

Is Homecoming really underperforming? Sure, it had a big drop, but it also had a pretty big OW. Everyone knew Sony's 80M projection was low, but it did nearly 40M over that.
The perception on this irks me. It's like people want a negative narrative.
This is kind of sexist tbh.
Oh I know, that's why I said kinda. I'm not trying to start an argument here or try to say it was intentional. Personally, I think only older males will care about this film, if that. WW2 is overplayed I think for the general audience. Many would rather just watch Saving Private Ryan.When I said 'young women' I meant vast numbers of them. I'm not suggesting that all young women, primarily One Direction's main fan base, aren't interested in a WW2 film but the vast majority of them won't be.
It's likely that a lot of 13 yo boys won't be engaged with a WW2 film even if it is directed by the 'Dark Knight guy'.
That's what they mean by four quadrant. Young. Old. Men. Women. And Dunkirk is not a four quadrant film for that reason.
Where's muh Atomic Blonde review thread?I would say Spider-Man is having a stunningly average box office run.
Already started.

Huge MEHI think everyone is understandably focused on Valerian and, to a lesser extent, Dunkirk.
On it!
EDIT: Those aren't recent, all those RT reviews are from SXSW
No worries. My review is the only one that matters anyways.I was gonna do it, but I don't need that abuse again
What's worse than Thor 2? The only one I like less in Incredible Hulk, and at least it had a coherent through line.
Not meant to be combative, I'm curious which ones since I legitimately didn't like Thor 2 and have ranged from liked to loved almost everything else.
9/10 average for Dunkirk on RT is pretty crazy.
Edit: 96 on Metacritic after 20 reviews
I'm going back and forth on whether to see Dunkirk in 70MM or Valerian in 3D
Dunkirk will probably be a better 'movie' and watching Hateful Eight in 70MM was cool too, but Nolan sucks eggs

Bronson, for the first time ever, I think you've posted something that might be wrong
I'd like to issue a three part apology to Bobby Roberts for this post

Why
Why do we bother with u
My local theater is showing Dunkirk in either IMAX or 70MM - not both.
Curse you.
Yo watch it in 70mm and enjoy true filmism
I saw Kong: Skull Island earlier this year in 70MM (please don't yell) and almost saw Wonder Woman too, but the screen they played it on was so tiny that it was hardly worthwhile.
The IMAX is a true IMAX screen but there's a separate listing for 70MM IMAX and it's not one of them.
The man's lost his touch!
But neither Kong nor Wonder Woman are 70mm films. So they would just be blown up. It's not about screen size. It's about film clarity.
