Rough Night shedding tears.
It was a hard fought battle for #1, though!
What Wondie at now?
Yep, it's pretty amazing. I'm glad they solved the mystery of the marketing

Lucy had a really light schedule to compete with at the time, and the trailers did a great job of selling its concept in a succinct yet stylish manner. From what I've read about Atomic Blonde, it seems like the trailers don't really represent what the film actually is (a period spy thriller), so selling it more like an action fest with the occasional quip doesn't seem to do it many favors.
I thought Pacific Rim was pretty bad.
Way too long, really cringy drama and writing, and while the robot fights were mostly good, having 2 people per bot felt dumb and I didn't like how the majority of fights were set at night.
Didn't help that I saw Attack on Titan season 1 not long after and it did the whole giant monster thing way better.
The best looking fight in Pacific Rim was when all those builders are working on a wall and they see a News report showing a battle during daytime.

Angelina Jolie was cool way before Scarlet. She was the female action lead that managed to do big at the box office. Scarlet got lucky with Lucy. Jolie remains the true MVP.
Tomb Raider: $274,703,340
Tomb Raider 2: $156,505,388
Wanted: $341,433,252
Salt: $293,503,354

Lucy's marketing really made sure everyone knew what it was about. Thanks, Morgan Freeman.
black women are planning group trips to the movie.
Been a bad year for Scarjo,that Lucy capital is ovetdrawn
That is truly incredible on so many different levels.
Are they...?

The bad movies that she is having lately are more than enough to slow down her career but she is lucky that she has a solid lead in the Marvel Cinematic Universe otherwise I doubt she can survive after releasing duds one after another.
Plinko didn't just call it bad though, he said it was debatable that going to grown ups 2 instead of Pacific Rim was the correct choice. GROWN UPS 2!
She's never been a stranger to small indie films, so she'll always have a home there if the blockbuster scene doesn't want her anymore.

Bad Moms
1st Weekend: $23,817,340
2nd Weekend: $14,004,006 (-41.2%)
LTD: $113,257,297
Girls Trip
1st Weekend: $31,201,920
2nd Weekend: $20,085,540 (-35.6%)
Girls Trip is gonna be the surprise hit this Summer. It opened better than Bad Moms and held better in the second weekend. It should have no trouble clearing $120 million at this rate.

It deserves it it's probably one of the (if not the funniest) movies I've ever seen.
It was cheap as hell to make ($50m?) so while not a huge hit they'll probably pull some kind of profit from it

Good on Atomic Blonde. Gonna see that day 1 when it comes out in UK on 3rd August.
Seeing Girls' Trip tomorrow. And then The Beguiled at some point. Yay for more female leads.

Whoa Sony has more movies in the top rankings than I've seen in a long time.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Sorry--I'll take it back. I never saw Grown Ups 2. The first Grown Ups was what I was thinking about.
That said, I still hated Pacific Rim. Some of the worst acting and dialogue I've seen in ages.
Most Americans made the right choice
I intend on going while completely tanked

So there's a chance that this year we'll have the worst performing Transformers and Spider-Man movies?
2017, you're goddamn ruthless.

I'm sad that Valerian bombed (and is bad) because that reduces the chance of seeing other sci-fi "european" comics adaptation that I would like. For example the Aldebaran series would be great.
No Spiderman will end up doing better than both ASM.

Foreign gross for WW haven't been updated yet
Great marketing + weak competition + decent reviews + ScarJo at her peak drawing power after Winter Soldier
It was pretty much the stars aligning perfectly for Lucy.

Transformers, yes. Spider-Man, no.

Spider-Man? Nah. It is going to clear $300 million and will be way better than Amazing Spider-Man in that regard.
Worldwide, it should reach $700 million before its opening in China and then later Japan, which will determine the rest of its worldwide box office.

You make it look so easy when it's not. If it was like that then any safe by the numbers superhero origin story would perform to $800m+ like WW.
That movie earned its success. It was just because it was half decent and starred a woman.

I didn't expect Dunkirk to hold onto #1 but the Power Of Nolan.
