Spider-Man Homecoming, Dunkirk and War of the Planet of the Apes all had their US release within a week of my bday. Only War hasn't been released here yet, that's why it's underperforming.
Ragnarok on the 3rd.

I pray to the universe that Aladdin is the most un-Guy Ritchie movie that Guy Ritchie has ever made. Like Disney just has a gang of producers on set every day ready to keep him from fucking it up.
They're both next year.

Force Awakens & Rogue One opened the day before and the day of my birthday, respectively.
Also Star Wars came out the year of my birth.
To keep it BO: How probable is a weekend-to-weekend drop for Dunkirk of 40-45%
Word of mouth on it seems stronger than I thought it was earlier in the week.

Did you like Sherlock? I feel Aladdin might go for similar style.

I figure if they got Guy Ritchie the producers want something Snatch-ish. Lock Stock-ish.
But you know - Disneyed.

Of course Bobby made them come out with the new movies on his BIRTHDAY

Snatch and Lock Stock are good movies but.... they never achieved the same commercial success as Sherlock. I don't see why the producers will go for that style of movie instead of something that has proven to be a success.
I haven't seen King Arthur BTW so no idea how Guy Ritchie has made the movie. He used to be one of my favorite director as I was introduced to Snatch but then his latest work isn't really that great. Sherlock was okay.

I dunno. The animated Aladdin's structure and setpieces allow for that sort of interpretation pretty easily, I think.
Like, if you're looking at that movie, and trying to imagine how to transplant it to live action and how it might move in that way, getting the guy who has made more than a few movies about street-level shenaniganery makes some level of sense.
(don't mistake this for me saying he's a perfect match or that he won't fucking botch it)

Wait. Guy Ritchie is the director for Aladdin?
Hmm. Guess I can't judge since the only films I've seen of him are Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.

Nah, I can actually see it after you mentioned it, and weirdly enough I could see it work.
It just doesn't seem like something Disney would do with their tried and true guaranteed Blockbuster successes of animated musical film adaptations. But maybe I'm not giving Disney enough credit to take some chances.
For some reason I thought it was 2019.
Oh well, I get Toy Story 4 in 2019.
I share my birthday with Ariana Grande and Nick Offerman
Not sure if i win or lose.
I know people like to joke about it, but I'm sure Sony expected more actually. Maybe not an awful lot more and I'm sure the much more reasonable budget will work out great for them, but it *is* Sony we're talking about.

I'm pretty certain Sony making a landmark deal with Marvel had expectations of the film making close to if not 1 billion, especially in light of it being well received and critically acclaimed and tied to the MCU.

That's a little over 50% Friday-to-Friday, including previews, right?

1:1 Disney remakes are pointless. Beauty and the Beast was pretty damn boring. Took an excellent cartoon and made the pacing glacial and took all the charm out of it

The best part of Beauty and the Beast was the credits
They somehow made the best part of San Junpiero (which I just watched this week, oh mah gawd) do nothing

I am happy to see him getting success at a young age. Most black actors don't get successful until their 40s

That's not all that uncommon. Check out Wonder Woman's Fridays compared to the preceding Tuesdays: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=wonderwoman.htm
$8M Friday is probably around $27M for the weekend, unless the Saturday bump is poor.
Probably a bit less than 50% if $5M holds.
