Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
But we persevered 3N, and look at what we achieved, greatness.

I mean... greatness is a bit much. Surprising semi-success.

So much greatness that Bobby Roberts went into an existential crisis and left GAF forever.

Tarzan will be most likely be WB's highest-grossing film domestically of 2016 that does not take place in the Harry Potter or DC universe. Pretty great if you ask me
Barring the terrible budget, it's had quite the run
He couldn't handle the greatness!
I do miss him though
200 might happen like weeks from now!!!

I somehow doubt this fact is all that comforting to WB.
Still better than being Sony I guess!

Or Paramount! What a mess.
Greenlighting a film: Star Trek 4, despite gearing for a lower gross than Into the Darkness domestically and worldwide, and attach household bomba (sorry Bobby) name aka the Chris Hemsworth, because they have nothing else in their arsenal with the exception of Transformers and Mission Impossible. Sad.
WB at this statement.

this gif is such win
Thor really slimmed down there.
Avengers - 1.5B
AOU- 1.4B
Thor 449M
Snow White - 396M
Star Trek - 385M
Leaving out his biggest hits to make him look bad. I never expected that from you.
Would you like me to list Liam's big hits?

We all know Avengers and Thor made money off the Skarsgård family star power.
Hemsworth will carry Thor 3 to 1B.
I mean, who the hell thinks Chris Hemsworth and his one scene was responsible for Star Trek's box office?
That did reek of trying to instill confidence in Beyond more than having any kind of real plan. It was a PR move, perhaps forced after the mixed reception to the Sulu PR drop.

But where are Tris and Four? What we really need is a Tarzan/Divergent shared universe!
We will have estimates in 2 hours, but it looks like Bourne will land around where Star Trek did last weekend. Star Trek will drop 60% (or just under). Ghostbusters is down another 50%+ (narrowing its Tarzan lead to $3M).
It's not looking good for any of these films' recovery next weekend either.

I know they're both blond and pretty, but it's easy to tell Alexander from Chris Hemsworth. Alexander was in a successful movie this year.
Oh, is this true? I havent been checking the BO threads in a while but I *did* note his absence in other movie related threads
I think Thor 3 could do big business. A Thor and Hulk buddy film sounds like it could be a lot of fun, Marvel studios just needs to make sure the quality of the film is a lot better then the first two.

Dat Bomba power?
Easily his best performance as well. Rush was indeed a great movie that sadly a lot of people slept on.
Terrible marketing.
Weekend Studio Estimates:
1) Jason Bourne - $60.0M ($120M budget)
2) Star Trek Beyond - $24.0M (-59%) - $106M total
3) Bad Moms - $23.4M ($20M budget)
4) The Secret Life of Pets - $18.2M (-38%) - $296M total
5) Lights Out - $10.8M (-50%) - $42M total
6) Ice Age: Collision Course - $10.5M (-51%) - $42M total
7) Ghostbusters - $9.8M (-53%) - $106M total
8) Nerve - $9.0M - $15M 5-day opening ($20M budget)
9) Finding Dory - $4.2M (-41%) - $469M
10) The Legend of Tarzan - $2.4M (-63%) - $122M total
11) Hilary's America - $2.4M - $9M total
Pets held well, everything else not as much. Bourne Poached Tarzan. It will still pass $125M, but $130M+ might be dead. Especially with Suicide Squad stealing screens next week.

Bourne making in 1 weekend what GB did in almost 2 weeks. People sure love Matt Damon.
It's always funny when people project their personal negativity this way.

More like people love Bourne.

A mix of both, I think. Damon is a solid actor. Bourne is an established franchise.
Last one with Renner opened 22M less, so according to my maths I would say Damon is worth 22M.

I hope Damon Power extends to The Great Wall. I want a movie I can unabashedly put next to Reign of Fire.
I'm more sad that it won't hit the 500M mark.

The Absolutely Fabulous movie is so bad, I'm disappointed it's done well.

Do you really want to add another modest performance to his list (where he only played a small role)? Solid movie though, watched it for the first time a few weeks ago.
I'm dreading this, my BF loves AbFab and I'm probably getting dragged to see it soon... Considering how bad the latter seasons of the show were I'm going to have a terrible time.
IIRC, Legacy opened just after the Aurora shooting, which was hitting everything pretty hard at that point in time. Damon is definitely a bigger star than Renner, but that wasn't the only factor it had to deal with.
No. Dory will still top the animated domestic record by around $40M. Secret Life of Pets is what killed its late legs.
Overseas, I am not sure. Pets and Ice Age launching first in a lot of territories probably didn't help. I don't think that most parents are up for spending $50-100 taking their family to the movies every week. Pixar should perhaps re-think their worldwide launch approach.
