Bomba Freeky Giant.

The BFG will compete with GOE for bomba of the year. Tarzan will still make money overseas.

Dory should be the 5th fastest film to 400M coming just ahead of Avatar.

Agreed. It should happen next Friday, which would be day 22.

So in the end, Independence Day Resurgence managed to beat Tarzan's Friday without previews number by $500k.

Purge 4 already in the works. Keep that budget at 10M and you can make them forever.

Depends, look how fast Paranormal Activity and Saw turned out before the fatigue set.

Gods of Egypt. But that is still no contest. Gods of Egypt opened to less than $15M domestic on its $140M price tag.

I'm gonna see Tarzan next week. But before that I'm going to see The Secret Life of Pets and I'm actually really curious to see it.

Also new Ice Age next week, dubbed though. I hate dubs. Always original, always!

This is the only pile Tarzan is going to wind up on.

Wasn't $7M slightly ABOVE recent projections for BFG? Also, good for Purge! Loved the second one.

About on par with what Deadline had and above what boxoffice.com had. For once, everything is meeting or surpassing expectations. Especially Tarzan.

Saw The Shallow and was pleasantly entertained lol. I suppose I need to watch the Purge 1&2 to get to part 3.

I was at the toy section in Target looking for a b-day gift for my nephew and saw that all of the new ghostbusters movie toys were already marked for clearance.

The reviews should be hitting soon. It won't be long until we all know if the lousy trailers were indeed a solid indication of the shitstorm to come.

Chamber · Jul 3, 2016

Really looking forward to all your faces when Ghostbusters does $300M domestic.

Not to derail the thread, but out of curiosity, was the Ghostbusters stuff by the typical boy-focused toys or the more girl-focused stuff (or both?) I know Targets have been removing the "boy" and "girl" labels in their toy aisles recently, but since toy marketing has been so linearly black and white since the beginning of time I'd be curious to see if the kids merch for this movie is seemingly pushed towards one gender over the other.

Right next to the TMNT stuff. It was really small, like two little rows worth of toys of the female busters and the Marshmallow Man.

What were initial weekend projections for Tarzan? Low 30s?

Dash_Riprock · Jul 3, 2016

Looks like The BFG was a BFD.

...I'll show myself out.

kswiston · Jul 3, 2016

Studio estimates will be out in a couple of hours, but we have some rough Saturday numbers on BOT. Tarzan held pretty well on Saturday. The Purge was as frontloaded as always.

My guess at Friday-Sunday weekend numbers:

Finding Dory - $41M
The Legend of Tarzan - $36-37M
The Purge - $31-32M
The BFG - $19M
Independence Day Resurgence - $16M

I think it's more like expectations had fallen so low that now that it looks like a "minor failure" rather than outright bomb people are calling it a success.

kswiston · Jul 3, 2016

BronsonLee said:

Yeah. It's Friday-Monday 4-day take will probably be in the $43-45M range, which is bigger than the 5-day opening for Genisys last year. Genisys went on to make $90M domestic.

Definitely not great for a film that cost $180M, but not the dumpster fire we were expecting.

It would be funny to see Tarzan top Independence Day Resurgence domestically.

I'd like that. I'm pretty sure I like Tarzan more than IDR. Going to see Tarzan next week.

Yup. Added to the top 10 list above.

Dory is up to $538M worldwide with a lot of markets left to open in.
