Feel bad about Kubo. That movie deserves so much better.

Yes. It sure does. Hopefully it has long legs or at least does well on blu-ray. It's such a gorgeous film that it should.

 

[jett]

Same with Bourne ending up on top of Bad Moms.

[Freeza Under The Shower]

So THAT'S why he's in The Great Wall..

Marvel set to cast Matt Damon as new Mandarin.

And remember kids, you heard it here first.

 

[Quake1028]

Who comes up with these titles and why ?

*cringe at that title*

who ever is making these thread titles needs to be banned.

Terrible title

Bomba Herpderp huh

What a stupid thread title.

One week the title of these threads is going actually going to make me have a stroke and you better believe my lawyer already has xaosslug on speed dial.

They really are tremendously awful in every way.

This week's drops for Squad haven't been too hot

 

[PhantomX1313]

WB Military action on JL DARK.1/2

 

[kswiston]

Don't breathe got excellent reviews. Boxoffice.com bumped its weekend estimate to $20M, and I think it could get higher than that under the right circumstances.

Suicide Squad will have to settle for 3 weekends on top.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Curious if there will be a Exteme Dinosaurs or Street Shark Live Action movies at some point.

Maybe if TMNT2 hadn't flopped, we could have had a cinematic universe on our hands!

 

[Spinluck]

The top 4 grossing movies of 2016 are all Disney releases.

1. Captain America: Civil War
2 Zootopia
3 The Jungle Book
4 Finding Dory

Great year for them, BFG aside.

Very impressive from Zootopia, the only new franchise on there.

I mean the designs scream Michael Bay and that even before Michael Bay was a thing

 

[kswiston]

Looks like $1.9Mish for Suicide Squad on Wednesday. The weekdays should be in the $8.3-8.4M range. I think I had it at $8.5M last thread. Final domestic gross should end up about $25M behind BvS.

 

[Donos]

Hur ... who thought it was a nice idea...

Btw, in which dark, evil place the thread titles get created?

honestly amazing that jungle book ended up above dory

almost feels like dory underperformed. this time last year I would have had it at #3 with a bullet after civil war and star wars and over a billion with ease.

These titles are tradition.

It's also worth noting that Dory also got direct competition by The Secret Life of Pets, which arguably put a serious dent in its box office intake.

 

[3N16MA]

Pets stopped Dory from hitting 500M DOM. This was the third Pixar vs Illumination summer battle.

Pixar is going to have to blink if things keep up. At least move their films to the first week of June or the last week of May. I guess they want the summer weekdays though.

So I'm looking at Box Office Mojo and assuming I'm missing something, Ratchet and Clank opened internationally, right?

The movie had to make at least more than 10 million

The box office must not have been reported for other regions because I'm fairly sure it opened here in Ireland at least.

Ahh thanks

Guess, it didn't really register enough for em to update the total.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Contract renewals were coming up for the cast and they have the new CBS show coming up (which they have no part of). Bad returns make contract negotiations easier for a fourth movie and further sequels.

It sucks if so. I like the cast a lot.

Honestly, I wouldn't care about the 'roided turtle designs, if they did a Ninja Turtles vs. Street Sharks movie, I'd be there day one

There was talk going around that the fourth Trek film that Paramount announced (with no director and no released date BTW) would be using the abandoned script for the third film that the studio deemd "too Trek".

If Paramount already had that lying around on a shelf it makes it a no brainer that they could talk a good game about a potential fourth without making any firm commitments or, crucially, spending any money.

 

[BronsonLee]

How on earth could it have been more Trek than Beyond

 

[El Topo]

I doubt they wanted their movie to lose money, nor do I believe that they wanted bad returns. If the cast complains during negotiations you just move on.
I know there's still a few territories to open, so I assume it could end up in black, but either way this has to be a disappointing performance for them.

 

[Schlorgan]

How on earth could it have been more Trek than Beyond

Alice Eve is in her underwear for the ENTIRE movie.

Spoiler

For real though, if Orci was overseeing that script, I want nothing to do with that movie.

 

[The Beard]

I'm happy Ben-Hur flopped hard. What the fuck were they thinking?

 

[kswiston]

Deadline has Dont Breathe at a lower $11.5-14M

 

[guek]

Deadline has Dont Breathe at a lower $11.5-14M

Don't Bomb

Probably safe with a $10M budget

 

[PhantomX1313]

SS 600M no Intl update, i think it touches 700M by farthest run.

 

[gamz]

Don't Bomb

It's going to do quite well on that budget and the great reviews. It's unbombable.

Wait. It made 1.9 on yesterday previews. It'll hit 20M or beyond. That a great number.

 

[Penguin]

Seems like a decent 1.9 million on Thurs

 

[Ahasverus]

SS will pass MoS. What.

 

[AmaterasuOni]

We get Don't Breathe in Finland as well. All good!

I feel a scattered release like this hurts the movie's BO potential. People can watch high quality pirate streams nowadays pretty much 2-3 weeks after release. It's unfortunate, but true.

Pets stopped Dory from hitting 500M DOM. This was the third Pixar vs Illumination summer battle.

WD (Pixar/Disney) vs Universal (Illumination/Dreamworks) is gearing up to be a major fight for who owns the animation movie space. Fox, Sony, Warner are all fighting for scraps IMO.

 

[berzeli]

Deadline has Dont Breathe at a lower $11.5-14M

They've upgraded it to a $20+ million opening.

Between this and The Shallows it feels like most outlets really were sleeping on Sony's horror/thriller offerings. IIRC both were expected to land openings under $10 million.

 

[hokahey]

I love the thread titles. Lighten up people.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

it is weird to just ditch the Wkd part of the title though. Because a lot of people search for Wkd since BO gives you random threads on the search.

 

[BronsonLee]

xaosslug marches to the beat of his own drum, which just so happens to be a Pump It Up! machine playing Beethoven Virus

 

[Subitai]

I don't mind them either, I just wish they had "box office" in it, so it would be easier to find.
