That seems like pretty decent holds doesn't it for a superhero film in May?
lmao
Not surprising at all. Every single trailer they released looked terrible.
You can always tell a movie is going to be crap when the commercial for it uses random twitter quotes instead of quotes from critics.
This unfortunately. Looked like trash from the get go :/
I don't disagree at all, i just thought Ritchie had something vaguely interesting up his sleeve. Maybe.

There was a review after the advance screening that said at times it felt kinda like a Ritchie movie, but the editing job was so butchered it's practically incoherent.

So it's TFA of the Alien series?

Sounds like it.
Keep expectations down, Bum, keep expectations down...
Age of Ultron, Iron Man 3, and Civil War all dropped 52-54% in their second weekend if you subtract Thursday previews from weekend #1.
I think that my GotG2 prediction works out to 51% without previews, which would be marginally better than those other films. Since the film was less Front-loaded on Friday, I think that it's feasible.
If you were talking about Monday, it's a pretty standard Sun -> Mon drop.
Hey I will still watch it because I've always enjoyed Ritchie movies, Uncle was a pretty fun movie, expectations are low.
Sounds good to me.
I think everyone knew this. After three incredibly fun action flicks (Sherlock, Sherlock 2 and Man from U.N.C.L.E.) I guess he was due.
Just give me Sherlock 3 finally, please. After Aladdin, obviously.

Wasn't this the franchise they were planning on turning into a 5 film epic of some sort?
Chuck it into the bin with Power Rangers and Green Lantern I suppose.

King Arthur is starting to feel like one of those movies whose expectations crater so much in the last few days that it will actually be viewed as a success if it opens to $20M.

King Arthur is prolly gonna get that Speed Racer/John Carter treatment around here on GAF.
LTTP: So King Arthur was really fricking good...come at me
I still think we'll get a sequel to Power Rangers.

I'm so happy it pass $200 million total!
Alien Covenant is out June 16th in China. One weekend before Transformers 5. I am sure that will go over well!
Power Rangers looks like it is going to tank in China. Opening day presales are currently sitting at $180k, about two days prior to the midnight premiere. I'm not sure what to expect based on that. Maybe $10-15M total in China? Either way, it looks like trokil will at least be right about GitS > Power Rangers in worldwide gross (ignoring the territory breakdowns).
Presales for King Arthur in China are even worse.
Speaking of, the Los Angeles Times is reporting a $175M budget for King Arthur. If that is remotely accurate, we are about to get a new challenger in the competition for bomb of the year!

$175M is quite an increase from the $102M that had been reported a couple weeks ago. That probably leads credence to the rumors about copious reshoots.

I'm ready for Alien to release, not because I want to see it, but so that I stop seeing the unskipable ads on youtube.

Arthur went through multiple directors before Ritchie so the $175 may include those false starts as well.
The project seems like something WB gave to Ritchie and said, "The big stuff has already started rendering so don't change any of that. Do you want with the small stuff and, hey, maybe this will be good?"

In today's episode of Fun with Multipliers:
Given its OW, GotG Vol 2 would have to have the worst legs in the MCU to not pass the original so that's *very* unlikely. OK legs would place it at 350+M which I believe is the lower end for the totals.
GotG 1 legs ain't
happening, but that is a nice number to look at.
Bonus: thus far, The Winter Soldier is the only MCU sequel with better legs than its predecesor.

With the exception of Iron Man 1 and Avengers, most of the early May openers had the weak legs. Their late summer ones held on best.
It was Guy Ritchie.
I think its more that we are seeing a trend with the Marvel movies that people see them early in large droves. Big first few weeks with shorter legs, but averaging out to excellent overall domestic performance seems to be the trend.

Deadline is reporting $12M for Guardians 2, a 22% increase from yesterday. That's a much better increase than Civil War (3.5%) but lower than Beauty and the Beast (32%); $63-65M for the weekend is looking good.
Deadline also has tracking for this week's openers: $25M for King Arthur and "mid teens" for Snatched. Also, the latter's reviews aren't looking much better than the former's so far.

Was the beauty and the beast 1st full week Spring Break?
I wonder why more blockbusters don't just open in August.
I wonder why why don't have even more blockbusters year round. It's changing just like the games industry but there is still too much stuff in the summer months.

Kind of sort of. Spring Break isn't well-defined, with different regions of the country and different levels of education having it at at different times. The highest percentage of schools have the week of Good Friday off.
Here's what Deadline said the week Beauty and the Beast opened:
for its first Monday
And here is when Fate of the Furious opened
Actuals are in for Vol 2 now: 12.1 million buckaroos, up roughly 23 % from Monday. People who love stat-keeping more than me, tell me its tied for best MCU first tuesday increase, with Dr. Strange.
Some of that is probably due to increasing popularity of Tuesday showings. Civil War had 3,5 %.
